- "K" gets targetted by "American
Life":
I keep getting missed calls
from 08000649955. The 2 calls I did manage to answer
claimed to be American Life. I asked them where
they got my number from and they said: I don’t know.
I asked them not to call again or I would contact
the Police. My number is ex-directory. I only started
getting these calls and others like it when I got
a credit card with Halifax as they seem to have
passed my details onto several third parties.

- "Q" copies us on a complaint made
to LBM that shows how much distress these unsolicited
calls can cause:
To whom it may concern;
Please
do not call the number xxxxx xxxxxx any more.
You
are disturbing a sick person who is trying to convalesce.
Today
she was woken up at least twice by your
marketing calls.
If you call one more time
you will have a complaint registered against
you
at the Information Commissioner's office. I understand
this may
not be the first. Please respond within
24 hours to confirm you have
opted out this number,
preferably with an apology.

- "B" from Sheffield seems to think
that all the complaints are funny:

company who annoy you hahaha how old r u guys at
least 35-40 years old hahahaha stupid idiots

- "P" is on a VOIP (Internet Phone)
system which can handily block LBM's numbers before
they get through:
Thanks for your fantastic
page on the LBM numbers. I've only been called
a
few times by them, however using a VoIP account
I have access to a
black list of numbers - all
of their numbers are now on it :-)
What would
be good is a site that listed ALL of these nuisance
marketing
companies in one place!

- "P" is another Vodafone customer:
Hi,
recently upgraded my mobile with Vodafone, via the
Nokia shop. Requested that no mailing ,email or
telephone contact be made and stipulated that my
phone number is ex-directory. Got the first “silent”
call this afternoon at around 12:01 from 08080000144,
Googled the number as it’s not one of my contacts
and came up with your page. I think the two
pro LBM’rs should open their eyes and see what a
nuisance this company is and that OFTEL should put
the boot in and stop this harassment. I’ve registered
with TPS and will now wait the required 28 days
to see if I get any more calls. Thanks for
providing this vital public information service.
