My major bugbear at the moment is some crowd that calls me from Japan once a month or more. Trying to get me to by shares in the next great Chinese telecoms prospect last time I had a connection good enough to understand what the heck they were trying to say. A combination of a tricky accent and an overloaded Skype call-out connection makes for what can only be described as a particularly irritating noise.
Eish, I got one of these today. They clearly got my contact details from my website. Real waste of time, even though I didn't stay on the line for long (because this great forum warned me about these calls! ) The quality of the call suddenly went downhill very quickly. Sorry, not interested, goodbye...beeeeep.
I got another one of these today, except the call quality was excellent, and the guy seemed to be British. He said he was calling from Maxon (not sure on spelling) in Japan, with some oil/gas options scheme.
Anyone had anything similar? I couldn't find any info on "Maxon" on the net that seemed to match the info from the call.
The NCA is only applicable to REGISTERED credit providers.
Thus you can only report a bank or other credit provider providing they are registered.
The National Credit Regulator will only enforce the act on registered providers of credit should they contravene the act.
There are many loopholes so you might still get a call or two from vodacom offering you a new credit card, or you might get a card in the mail with the words USE ME in bold .....
