Just bin cold called by a group calling themselves Industrial Workers Office, they told me as I had worked in heavy industry I was due compensation due to hearing loss as I had started work before legislation came in, similar to compensation that miners got for white finger (and we all know how the lawyers screwed the miners on that one). I asked how they new I'd worked in industry who they were if they were a government office etc, they only gave vague answers to my ?. They said they would call me back. Have any of you UK guys had similar approaches. Did a google search on them and came up with this. http://www.thestirrer.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8643&start=0 It describes exactly the approach that was made to me. I think its some sort of scam. Stew |

I had the same call about 30 mins ago Stew. Unfortunately I took a different route. I told him where to stick his phone and then hung up. John |

I got one from a young lady telling me I could sue my employer if I'd had an accident at work. in no uncertain terms I told her I WAS the employer and asked he why she could not get a reputable job like a prostitute, at least they have some respect.............. John S. |

Funny. :scratch: I've just ignored a "number withheld". As we usually do...... :thumbup: David D |

We used to get calls here in the States... "important information about your auto warranty..." trying to sell an extended warranty. A co worker used to get the call 2 or 3 times a day at his desk and cell! Eric |
