It is unlawful to make direct marketing calls to individuals who
have indicated that they do not want to receive such calls. "


Which is why many of the cold calls I get (despite the TPS) claim to be
"a survey" or "reminding me I still haven't claimed..." etc. etc.


It does not matter what they "pretend" the call is about. If the
ultimate aim is to sell something then it's banned

I had one yesterday, from a solar panel company. Did I remember him
calling some months ago? No, I said. But then I pointed out that he was
breaking the law. "What, by doing my day job?" So I explained. He hung
up on me in a huff before I could ask him to remove me from his list.
