LIMEYS
TJ: For the past week or so I have been inundated on my mobile phone with cold calls from a finance company (via Indian call centre) trying to peddle me bollocks financial products. The number is withheld, and I have told them no less than 7 times to stop ringing me, and to take my number off their records. They rang again this morning so I went ape shit and threatened to report them for harassment (which of course I can't do as they don't give out their number etc .) But I am still getting missed called from them on my phone this afternoon.
Any ideas of what more I can do to hammer home the message NOT TO FUCKING RING ME?

everything they say to you

there is a problem with juresdiction
so the best thing to do is speak to your operator stating that you want international incoming calls barred or more specifically numbers from India.
Explain the situation and tell them you want to make an official, on record, complaint about the nuisance calls. Explain that you will seek another provider if this harassment can't be halted at the network level.

Oh I forgot to say that when they call
and ask for whoever just say oh sure, can you just hold the line whilst I go and get him/her?
Then place the phone next to the radio and go back to wanking or eating. They can't wait to cross you off the list when it flags you as doing that a few times. They will hang on, for ages and when you consider that their goal is to hook as many people in as short a time posible, taking up their time is the biggest way you can hurt the caller.
( the caller, not the business. But as many of the callers now in India are ex pat ex time share twats doing the same job in a different market then I say fuck them )

As the company name, call their London office and complain
Or try and sell them financial products.
