Never say anything when scammers call you. Just hang up straight away. They’re only after your info, so it’s best not to give them anything at all.

I got a call from some energy broker who said he wanted to help me get a better deal, but for when my contract ends in two years. I kept telling him I wasn’t interested right now. Then he said he just needed my email to send me some price info. I told him again to stop bothering me and to delete my details from his list. That’s when I hung up.

Got a call from some cold caller the other day. Isn't there something like TPS or GDPR in place to stop this stuff? The company said they were UK DIRECT BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LIMITED, with a number like [#][#]dbsne[###]/. Honestly, they should be reported to the ICO or labelled as rogue traders or something. Best just block these lot.

Got a call from some cold caller claiming to be from UK DIRECT BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LIMITED, looks dodgy to me. Anyone else had calls from them? Surely TPS and GDPR should stop this kind of hassle. I’m thinking of reporting them to the ICO because they’re proper nuisance, maybe even scammy. Best to just block these lot and be done with it.

Got a call about energy deals for businesses, I said I wasn't interested but he just wouldn't give up! I stayed polite and even mentioned that our supplier contract runs straight through to 2020.

When I phoned back to tell them to stop calling and not to act for us in any way, they were actually quite polite. They asked me to drop them an email so they could confirm they won’t be in touch after that. Not sure if it’ll actually stop, but they did sound fairly honest at least.

Got a call from the same number as before. The bloke said he was from DBS, so naturally I asked what that stood for. He replied Direct Business Solutions. I told him I wasn’t interested and ended the call. Almost immediately, he rang back asking if I wasn’t curious about his offer at all. I’ve had a proper look online but can't find any info connected to this number. These kinds of calls really grind my gears and waste my time.
