2 Spammers who send out texts promoting compensation or PPI claims have been fined £440,000 Very Happy

Lets hope that is a start of getting the message across that they are unwelcome and unwanted

"Fined"?

By what "independent tribunal"? Thinking

Good luck collecting that, ICO. And I do mean that, it's about bloody time they stopped saying "If you wouldn't mind..."

loan applications
payday loans
any type of comparison sites

that sorta stuff, i'd happily bet that 99% of companies trade in phone numbers at some time.

payday loan people are especially bad for it.

mobile numbers are like ciggy packs to inmates at your local prison.
