Has anyone dealt with a company advertising to the police? Think they're called mode pr or something like that? Keep ringing me saying I agreed to help them out by advertising, Which I didn't?

Any thoughts?

Thanks guys  :)

These monkeys called me on a withheld number and after the scouse git waffled on for a couple of minutes, I told him I wasn't interested.. After another couples of minutes I was a "bit rude to him" and hung up.

Within 2 minutes he rang me back saying "I can come down there" and "I know where you live etc"

All he wanted was my bank details!!!
