Thumbs down 1st Call Connect - nuisance callers - 0207 0603 887

Another annoying nuisance call.

Called themselves 1st Call Connect, very obnoxious and rude sales guys that slam the phone down.

Phoned them upto complain only to get the phone put down again.

Something to do with reclaiming missold Payment Protection Insurance.

Googling the number throws up some negative stuff about them, so I'd stay well clear of them.

I received a call from them on Saturday... after they said ' I am not trying to sell me something' I asked them why they are ringing and then they asked me if I needed someone to look after a PPI claim - they were a bit put off when I started shouting at them for trying to get more compensation out of banks and financial institutions saying that I work for one, and my wife works for HBOS which has been hit hard....dont think they will bother me again!!
