I just want to find a k****** with a built-in bicycle workstand!

The kitchen spamming is a pain in the butt. It effectively killed a low traffic unmoderated bulletin board for Knockengorroch festival. The spamming started last November and has continued despite the link to the message board being dropped from the main festival web site.

Has anyone thought about co-ordinating an irate mass response to one of the phone numbers?

 

[classic33]

Why not. But do we place an order for the item, ask about the durability or get a quote?

 

[Globalti]

I would do it but I don't want them to get my number, I'm bothered enough by muppets wanting to talk about my PPI insurance claim.

But is the number the source of the spamming or is it the target of malicious spamming?

#31# in front of the number you are dialliing, when used on a mobile hides your phone from the system. So #31#016166*****, number I dialled yesterday, will mean that they will not get your number.(Full number withheld, but available. Got from this forum yesterday)

Try it on someone you know if you don't believe me.

Well if not the source of the spamming, why are they not doing anything about it? Any reputable company would be concerned at the bad press its getting and try to get it stopped. Would they not?

They would try, yes. But I don't know how successful they could be. I'm sure EDL members would want to get their details removed after Hacktivists released them but, once they are out there....

have they denied its not them that are actually responsible for the spamming. As I said, a large number of calls were being fielded in the background when I rang yesterday. If a genuine company, think about the loss of trade caused by a large number of such calls on a daily basis.
Can they really afford to lose business, whilst doing nothing about it.

No, I haven't followed it up, I was simply making the point that, while it might be a correct number, it might also not be. On the other hand, it's fair to ask why that number hasn't been closed down.

If the company actually exists, why would they want to shut down their numbers? Some-one may actually want to buy a second hand ex display kitchen!
If the company is genuine, why have they not tried to deny its not them thats responsible for the spamming?

NT did suggest, a couple of weeks ago, that we organise a forum ride to their premises. Or preferably, through their premises...

I added the idea of secreting tins of spam in display cupboards. Preferably slightly compromised tins. so as to go off nicely.
