Another vote for TPS (Score:2)

by Matts (1087) on 2004.02.21 6:55 (#28655) Journal

Subscribe to the TPS, it really does work. Since doing so we've had one cold call, and when we said we were on the TPS they immediately made their excuses and hung up. The TPS has a very well handled "abuse" system, and when I filed an abuse complaint for the above call I got a personal response saying it would be dealt with appropriately.

  Signed up as soon as JJ suggested it :)
  Interrogating a cold caller when I got home, I discovered they are getting their information from a company called DataLink. Although my research into the company seems dubious, as none of the links I found via Google are anything to do with personal data collection.
  I've given Nicole a list of things to ask, should anyone else call. So I'll see if this same company crops up again.
