Spam: Telephone Soliciting II

Further to a telephone call I received (along with some of you) on the 16th of September, I have just received the following letter from ICSTIS (the regulatory of premium rate telephone numbers in the UK) which basically states the company has been fined £10,000 and barred access to “The Prize Warehouse”‘s service for twelve months (so it’s quite a breach: checking action they’ve taken against other companies shows an “average” of around £1,000 fine and 6 months barring).

Success! Just shows – if you complain to the right people you can get the scumbags removed! I’m just waiting for the response from The Telephone Preference Service and mwhhaa! I’ve actually just received a spam SMS text message to my mobile phone (which is registered with TPS) so I’ll be sending off another complaint in the next day or so.

Read on for a copy of the letter.
