It has only been an hour since posting Timeshare Advisory Service a Scam , and the telephone rings.

Yes you have guessed it, "Mr Phillip?", in and Indian accent, and a small time delay.

It is hard for me to understand him as I curtly reply "What do you want?".

He purports (indicates) to be from the Telephone Preference Service, (UK 0800398893) and he started telling me how "cold calls", wanted calls, would be stopped.

But I was already registered with the free Telephone Preference Service, and I told him that, but he was having non of me butting in, interrupting him, saying that by registering with him I would be protected for five years.

"I am already registered with you." I said, thinking I was speaking to the TPS.

He would not listen, until I asked him what are the fees.

"Just a £1 a week." was his reply, "and then you will stop getting calls like this."

"Get lost." was my reply as I cut the call.

I just don't believe it.

The Telephone Preference Service is a free service, so if anyone in the UK wants to use it go the their web site http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/ and register for free. Do not fall for the webs sites when using the search engines that look as if they are the TPS and charge a fee. All they are doing is taking your money, then adding your name and telephone number to the free Telephone Preference Service.


As someone commented, I am "p----d off", or not very happy.
