Re: Odd Calls and Police Advice

They'll just refer you to ofcom..

Calls like the TV one is nothing to do with the police and most of the time it's companies who either don't care about TPS, truly have a 3rd party agreement (you'd be amazed at how many forms/websites/contracts you sign give 3rd parties permission to contact you), hide their sales calls via market research (true market research calls are not covered by TPS) or are out of the country.. If you believe that you shouldn;t be recieving these calls then try VM but in the end they will not be able to help and ofcom will be your next point of contact.. Ofcom though will not help until you;ve been via your telephone service provider. Just call VM's customer services and they will put you through to the correct department.

As for the microsoft they are acting illegally and the place to report them is http://www.actionfraud.org.uk/ which has full police support. No good ringing up a local station as the reports get spread around the country. http://www.actionfraud.org.uk/ is at very least a central point of contact so there's more point in finding them
