Teabags Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 When I left they actually were using some TPS cleared data that they'd bought. Believe it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonie Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 i worked in the glasgow office for a grand total of 6 hours. first 3 hour shift i thought, surely this can't be as much of a massive scam as i think it is....but by the second shift it had become apparent that, in fact, the person you were calling had not been luckly enough to have their postcode appear in an area in which we were looking for showhomes for our magazine. further, that person was not in with the chance of a brand new kitchen being installed at no cost to them.they are scum, simple as thatspoons /x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToasterCoaster Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Who could have resisted working there 2 or 3 years ago, with tales of Alex Dick, Kai, and Terry Cunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Shut up' date=' they blatently broke the TPS regulations and DPA[/quote']You're telling me that companies actually abide by the TPS regulations and the DPA? Do they fuck - it's a well known fact that the punishments for breaking the laws are nothing compared to the potential rewards. BT have broken the TPS regulations, companies break the DPA all the time (and quote it mindlessly without even knowing what it says...), really, in the business world, you can't afford to be ethical unless you're a marketing genius (like Anita Roddick). Was asked to investigate them once when people working for my company kept receiving calls from themAnd what did you discover, the fact that they call people at random without care?Campaigning to give the regulatory authority some teeth and campaigning for them to use it properly would make far more sense than whining about some little company who makes a nice packet from being pushy fuckers.

Cloud Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Please don't make me have to bother to dig links up too lazy...BT have done it - how do I know? Simple - they've called here a few times despite being registered with the TPS.TalkTalk and OneTel are the worst though, i've had some very amusing conversations with them in the past, including once getting an apology from a manager because one of the staff was trying to sell me a "rubber duck"..of course he wasn't, but it was great fun telling the manager that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorge Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 About fucking time. TIP: If you do get a call from any of these of these sods:1) Ask them to hold for two seconds.2) Hold earpiece to CD player speakers.3) Insert Napalm Death CD, turn volume to FULL HORSE.4) Press play.Doesn't always work, but it's a fucking good laugh.......

Camie Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I just tell them I'm not interested and hang up. works every time.I tell them either that none of the homeowners,bill payers or whatever are in and that I am not a relative to them.It's easy to know which calls are them as they cannot pronounce my last name properly and when I ask to leave a message they just say "it's a commerical call" or whatever.

MattJimF Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 what to do when they call is to turn it round on them, and try and sell them whatever they are trying to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 They were doing door to door when it was on TV. Mid way through the feature my mum was interupted by a chap saying he was from Space Kitchens. My mum asked if he knew they were on Watch Dog at the time...I think he turned tail at that. There was a whole car of other sales men in the street getting ready to head out. Hopefully they thought twice about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went on to mention that they were proud at the fact that they must've taken away every penny she had.

Lemonade Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I worked at Space Kitchens for 10 minutes. I went in for my first shift, got explained how the company worked, the commission, how to do the job, what script to read etc.Then he said "But all our phones are being used tonight, there's nothing you can do, come back tomorrow, the earlier you get here the more chance there is of you getting a phone".Needless to say I didn't bother going back.
