Unsolicited Telephone CallsVisitors to the Trading Standards display at the Wirral Show voiced their concerns to staff about the frequency of unwanted telephone calls.The calls try to interest them in home improvement services or offer them the chance to win a luxury holiday. Worryingly, half of those questioned had ex-directory phone numbers and were concerned how the telemarketers had obtained their personal details. John Malone, Wirral’s Trading Standards Manager, said: “Unsolicited telephone calls are intrusive and inconvenient. I would urge anyone wanting to stop these calls to register with the Telephone Preference Service. Call 0845 070 0707 or register on line at www.tpsonline.org.uk
