Earlier then i had the well known scam call from a company claiming to be acting on behalf of Microsoft called Computing 24/7 and a bloke called Olaf Neil Stating Microsoft asked them to contact me cos i have a Legal Version of Windows and it is infected with Malware and as soon as i mentioned the police he hang up.

I contacted the Police and reported it and the lady i spoke to insisted i also reported these add calls to my provider to see if they can do anything but no idea who i am to contact.

Anyone know?
I have also had the TV call.
They had asked the TV brand, where it was purchased from and how long has it been owned.
They then ended the call saying "You have registered to allow 3rd parties to contact you and ask more information" then suddenly hung up.

I find this very cheeky, and is it even legal as I had no idea I was signing up for my information to be passed on??

They keep pestering and calling over and over again
