I just received an unsolicited telephone call on an unlisted number that is on the Telephone Preference List.

When I answered I was greeted with a recorded message telling me that there was a way for me to avoid most of my debts through a government scheme. To learn more I pushed five on the telephone call pad and was connected with an information centre.

When I asked for more information as to they were, I was told that they were implementing a government scheme. I asked for the name of their business and was told it was Information Team Ltd. I asked to speak to a supervisor or manager and was told that no one was available.

Eventually when I pressed further, I was connected to another recorded message that told me if I wanted to make a complaint I should write to an address in Delaware in the US or e-mail enquiries@informationteam.net

The number the call came from was 08447 739922.

Has any other Forum Member received a call of this nature ?

Yes, I have and I also received a similar one for mortgage advice - when I requested their FSA number they told me they did not have to be registered. I advised them that I was FSA registered and this type of call was illegal in this country and I wanted to speak to a manager, I was also given the same address. Upon further investigation the address seems to be a posting address for over 30 companies - can't find out any further information...
