Re: Cold called

I had this same call last week, saying as we are registered with the TPS, was it OK for Virgin Media to talk to me, which as a customer I thought was OK.

They then attempted to get me to take the free TV service that I am eligible for, they quoted my current monthly costs, so appeared very legit.

They were very persistent even though I told them I did not want it, as I have sky to my main TV, freesat to the bedroom one ands a freeview box for the other one. In fact I was getting really annoyed with his persistance, so I just told him no I did not want it and terminated the call.

Cannot see what is in it for them, having to install the free TV for people, other than I suspect a new contract, which would change my monthly payments, as I managed a good deal two years ago.
