TPS works a bit, it's amazing how quickly they hang up when you ask for details of who they are calling for, because you're on TPS and want to report them. Of course, we have Caller ID on the landline and as almost no-one phones it just look at the number before picking up. If we don't recognise it, it's just left to ring out. Didn't know you could TPS mobiles now, will do that, too many PPI calls on it.
Have a friend who keeps getting emails from various people because there are some Americans who keep giving out his email address rather than their own (similar names and they are stupid by the sounds of it) he kept trying to sort it out, but they wouldn't stop. Last email he got was confirmation of flight details the guy had bought, so he snapped and requested the business class upgrade, then ordered the guy the crappiest thing he could find on the inflight menu. As an IT professional he figures if they complain he'll tell them it was a lesson in internet security and he'll waive his fee just this once.
