we've had the same problems with them - jonathan dupre from the company

repeatedly calls, along with other minions, and then claims to know nothing

about us being harrassed.


They claim to be registered with the DPA, but i doubt it

I'm coming from the stand-point of an internet designer who has been

pestered by

IM since they first started trading, about April 1999 (at least, they said

they were

new at the time).


At first I received one or two calls a month. These gradually increased

until about

ten days ago, when I was getting four or five calls a week. I've had no

calls for the

past ten days. Hopefully they have gone into receivership! Certainly, from

the

frequency of calls extrapolated against the number of potential prospects,

it would

seem they are not getting any advertisers.


Their professed method of finding phone numbers is to trawl on-line search

engines, directories etc. Lately they admitted to also going through various

paper

directories such as those produced by local councils, chambers and such.


They keep no database (they say) but call direct from the list in front of

them,

wasting the results afterwards. They have claimed, variously, to keep a

"Don't call"

database (subsequently denied) and even a list on a blackboard (must have

been

pretty large!).
