Call Centres Undercover
A selection of your Tweets on last night's Panorama about cold calling and telemarketing that went undercover in UK call centres.
If you have been contacted by a company despite being registered with the TPS, we would like to know https://www.snapsurveys.com/swh/surveylogin.asp?k=133759552332 #bbcpanorama
Such a shame that the nuisance callers tarnish the #cctr industry #BBCPanorama How can we stop this?
Was thinking of registering for the TPS but now unsure how useful that would be. Any thoughts? #BBCPanorama
I know people where we've fixed their PC after the fake-virus-scam , and for them to fall for it again a month later #bbcpanorama
Watching #BBCPanorama #ColdCallers ripping people off. As w/ so many 'industries' can't help but note it's our 'fellow man' doing it to us.
@ThinkingFox Makes you sick to think some human beings can do that... Poor William :( #BBCPanorama
only lost two followers during #bbcpanorama. On the bright side, received no cold calls.
#bbcpanorama on #coldcalling didn't teach me anything I didn't know and wasn't anywhere near as hard hitting as it could have been.
@BBCPanorama Does anyone know if MPs get cold calls, or are they so protected? #bbcpanorama
#BBCPanorama has achieved something; the Telephone Preference Service website is now down. Subtle DOS attack.
Companies often set unachievable targets and sack people who don't meet them, encouraging the use of underhanded methods #bbcpanorama
worst problem was dad-n-law with Alzheimers - in early stages he got worried by callers - inc CHARITIES! he'd sign for anything #bbcpanorama
Ok, I like this bloke that's recorded the cold calling... Good on you William! #BBCPanorama
#bbcpanorama the legislation is weak and basically not worth the paper it is written on! Shame on all #coldcallers & #TPS poor pensioners!
Great stuff on #bbcpanorama tonight on aggressive cold calling, tps and Microsoft scams, scams galore! takes me back to consumer show days.
#bbcpanorama Awww...poor William! How can people be so cruel as to rob people of their life savings. #ShameOnYou #bbcpanorama
#bbcpanorama not sure it's the call centres that's the root of the issue but the people who think up scams in the businesses to start with
