I don't know what's suddenly happened, but there's been an explosion in the number of cold calling coming through to this phonenumber in the last few months. If they can't get through, they're even leaving their rubbish on BT 1571. So far we've been the lucky winners of countless competitions, as well as having no fewer than 3 offers for fitted kitchens. The highlight had to be the call the other day, certainly sounding like it was coming from a foreign call centre somewhere, in which the guy proudly proclaimed, "Hello. My name is... *pause* Dwayne and I work for... *pause* Orange."

I could understood if one of us had filled something in and the details had been sold, but this stuff has been targeted at all 3 of us. I'm not even supposed to be registered at this address any more. =:S

I am just about to have a go at registering the number with the Telephone Preference Service to see if that helps, although I have a feeling a good number of these are bypassing the system anyway. We shall see.
