    Hi,
    From my research it seems I am not the only one harrassed by an 'investment' company in the UK - +44 2077 86 4700 - not sure if we can tell the name but google the number and you'll find out.

    i told them several time i was not interested to invest and to remove me from their list. No idea how they got my no. But they still call me 2 or 3 times a week.

    I tried to speak to a manager or someone in charge but surprise surprise they're never there or available.

    I asked them politely several times to remove me as I was not interested but that fell on deaf hears. so I told them I'd report them to the authorities but no changes. I am really getting fed up with these monkeys who can't listen and I really don't get the reasoning behind harassing people to ask for business as I defo won't give them any.

    I sinced dowloaded a call blocker app for my phone but I can see they're still calling. They even tried to get one of their colleague from the US to call me last friday evening... They're unbelievable !!!

    There has to be something I can do to stop them calling me?

    Can I report them to some authorities in the UK? which ones?

    Thanks

    Tricky when it's outside the jurisdiction. I can only suggest keeping them on the line for as long as possible next time. Be as politely annoying as possible. Be 'that' person. Close the call with ' I look forward to wasting as much of your time as possible again at the next available opportunity. Now f**k off'.

    Check if they are on the FSA (UK) register. If not or they are harassing you, report to the FSA: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/consumerinformation/scamsandswindles/investment_scams/boiler_room

    You could always answer, put the phone down, and let them talk to empty air.
