I've heard about this, they validate their claim to be part of BT by supposedly blocking your phone, when all they actually do is put a hand over the reciever on the phone they are using, and not hang up until you try to make a call and hang up convinced you have been tempoarely cut off, when in fact all they have done is not terminated the original call, clever thieving bar stewards.

Why does anyone let them get to the second sentence?  Unless it is someone I know I normally tell most people to F off and hang up....

It is surprising how quickly the attitude changes when the TPS is mentioned.
Most firms show respect and don't call again, it doesn't stop all calls but the majority.
