No but we've had a similar thing here I think it was the same or a
similar number!...

Actually it's a doddle to set up new numbers. I can set them up in
about 10 minutes. Different every time?

Are you on the Telephone Preference Service (TPS)? If yes, notify them and
provide the number and they will deal with it. Not sure how the fine
compares to the amount these "businessmen" make from people calling them
back though.

http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/08716641448 suggests it might
be an outfit called "Not Just Aerials"

Their website http://notjustaerials.com/ has a contact number in the
same range.

If you are registered with the TPS please consider lodging a complaint
with the ICO
http://www.ico.gov.uk/complaints/pri...nications.aspx.
Their online complaints form is a bit of a pain but "Not Just Aerials"
are serial offenders. I had one of their recorded calls a few weeks
ago; and some (more) elderly neighbours very nearly swallowed their bait
and bought a new aerial despite getting now a strong signal from CP on
all muxes. Their related satellite practices were exposed on BBC's
Watchdog on 12 May.

Ha! The TPS and the ICO are completely useless IME. If the call
comes under the TPS's remit then they may write a letter to the
offending company if you are luckly. They always advise me that the
TPS is a voluntary agreement and there is nothing they can do to
enforce it.

The ICO is even worse.

In my last case they wrote and told me that they fined the firm concerned.

The TPS is NOT a voluntary agreement in that firms must check it, but there
are limits to WHEN they need to check it. For example, someone can call you
and ask your opinion without referring to the TPS list but if they want to
call and offer to sell you anything then they must refer to the TPS list.
Since asking you to call an 0871 number involves them making money from you,
I would expect it to be covered.

Are they not a bit thick actually allowing their number to be seen.

I'd have thought if you listened long enough they would tell you what they
are selling.

Not heard this here yet, though I am on the list so should not get phoned,
but it seems not many of the companies care any more.
