How do you get UKTV? Is it on Cable? So do you think its HSBC? I doubt it would be a bank as I guess they might be competition with the consultants - am sure the bank would prefer to contact you direct with their own financial products. |

How are these "FP's" getting private contact information? Today I received a call from one of these slugs. They way I was addressed tells me that they had my full contact information and phone number from my bank. (This is because my bank name is not the same as my normally used name)
Yes, this is China, but is it not illegal for a very large Western Bank (or any bank for that matter) to give out private contact information? |
What you mean Bobg8zwf isn't your real name? |

^Well, it's not the name mum & dad gave me when the vicar tried to drown me!
@Shangstar, yes HSBC. I really don't know who else here has the information that the FP slug mentioned to me.
For the TV, a friend back home has a slingbox installed. I have control and access here. All freeview and sky channels no problem at all. Streaming at 400k right now, picture very good, of course not perfect. Sound is as good as quality tv. Send me an email address and I can show you a live demo of it. |

got a cold call from Elite Financial group at work today.
Strange caller ID (962211) otherwise I would not have answered.
After exchanging pleasantries with the young chap (American/Canadian accent?),
he offered me a free consultation. I pleasantly told him I was not interested in his offer and he promptly hung up without as much as a thanks/goodbye.
Cold callers should get some manners training IMO |

For a change my husband wasn't called by a consultant yesterday. No, he received a letter from SPAIN (Euro Security Company S.L. / Euro-Millions Lottery) telling him that he won "two hundred and fifty milliones euros" 
Wow, we won without even buying a ticket.
Anyone else who's a millionaire now? |

I think something is up with the phone system. I called McDonalds for delivery and they had a totally different number for me. I called back and same thing. My number wasn't being shown even though I've used it many times previously to order from them. |
