Cold callers phoning up and asking how you receive you TV signal

[simonpolly]

I’ve had about five phone calls from an international call centre in the last two days asking how we receive our TV signal, all say once we complete the survey the phone calls will stop. Is this a well known scam ?,obviously I don’t give them any information and am registered with the TPS on my phone line.

I tell them they've come through to air traffic control and we only receive radar.

I've started getting vodaphone ring me every hour or so the last couple of days, dunno where they got my number from or why they have suddenly decided to start ringing me, starting to get annoying though (im on virgin)

best thing to do is say someones at the door and leave them on hold for ages, they'll soon get the hint.

or do what i did once.

said that your in the middle of looking how to make scrambled eggs for your dinner and ask them if they know how and you will answer there questions, then when they quickly say shuv a egg and milk in pan and stir start asking questions, once had someone talking for 4 mins about  how to make scrambled eggs before they hung up.

or do what my mate did and talk in a foreign language
