Call Prevention Service

There is nothing more terrifying than to be alone and have somebody cold calling at your door. The latest message from many government campaigns is advising the public ‘If in doubt, keep them out’.

Unfortunately, the ‘No Cold Calling Zones’ fail to stop the risk of people cold calling your telephone landline seeking an invite to your home.
Once the callers have your attention, consumers have been lured!

Whilst precautions have been taken to prevent bogus callers and rogue tradesmen knocking at your door, the telephone lines remain unprotected.
Cold calling via the telephone is potentially as risky as door to door sales people, since householders can be slowly lured in, to making a huge purchase with the charm of an over enthusiastic sales person.

For years we have been advised to simply hang up the phone, but we all know now that this simply postpones the problem, leaving you open to persuasion at a later, more vulnerable time.

The British Crime Survey reveals that 1.5 million people a year receive repeated malicious calls.

Stories have been appearing in the media about the invasion of elderly and vulnerable people’s life savings.

Marketing people are fully aware that the elderly can be easily persuaded, perhaps because many don’t have access to the Internet to check a company’s feedback and customer testimonials.

More than 15 million or 60 % of UK households are already registered with the Telephone Preference Service, yet more than 70 % of Brits claim to have been a victim of a phone scam in the last year.

The statistics clearly indicate that the calls don’t stop, even after registering with the TPS.

Whilst the TPS is effective in preventing UK based call centres, the Call Prevention Registry successfully eliminates overseas companies from calling households.

With just under 208,000 happy customers to date, the Call Prevention Registry is on course for a quarter of a million customers by the end of the year.

The Call Prevention Registry has helped to eradicate sales calls from many lives. Their dedicated customer care team creates a more relaxed atmosphere at home, resulting in safer communities through the commitment of ensuring companies are abiding by the guidelines.

Customers who are tired of receiving telephone nuisance calls, should consider registering with Call Prevention Registry by visiting the website, or calling freephone:  (0800) 652 7780.

Customers can be assured of top-level privacy, with a fast and friendly call back service.
