Had a call from a directory called BTD -Business Trade Directory,

offering to put me in touch with business for 2.5% commission. Sounded not too bad then they said it would cost £200 to input all my info on to the computer, that's when alarm bells started ringing..

 

So I checked them out on some website ... and yes they are another bunch of con merchants like ufindus.com etc etc.

 

So avoid them.. you have been warned.

 

Read this it goes through with complete accuracy their exact patter.

 

Have you been called by The Building Trades Database yet? Beware! - UK Business Forums

I take bets with the guys I work with to see how long they will stay on hold for while we work away. Great fun.

 

Apparently this is the way to really wind them up. You keep them on the line for around 10 minutes then just return then hang up, don't say anything. They get really wound up because they can't hang up and get on with another call.

 

Also never blow whistles down the phone otherwise you will have their lawyers on to you.
