Record a conversation and have it sent to you as a wave file for a small fee, it costs the caller about 60 pence a minute to call and so when you consider that I get around 6 or more calls a day from them it would cost them a good sum of money if thousands of people did the same. In order to set this up once you have your personal number you do have to talk to them which I know lots of people don't like doing, but it's essential as you need to give them your new personal number. In the meantime I changed my landline number and got a pay as you go mobile sim and redirected my personal number to that new mobile number and I'm now in total control of every call they make to me and as you know once they have latched on to you their auto dial equipment goes into overdrive. You can use this method for any of these parasites that populate in call centres around the country and what it does is it's puts you in control. Take control people. I was also a tvvat, when I first set the system up, I redirected it to one of their own numbers so they actually ended up phoning themselves.
