im registered with telephone preference service but the other day the phone rang and i got a recorded message asking if i had made a will (bit spooky huh?), the recorded message stated \'this is NOT a sales call\' then quoted statistics about how many people havent made a will, then went on to ask if i was aware that i might be able to receive financial help for making a will and i should press 5 to find out more. so i pressed 5 and was greeted by a gentleman asking if it was the will service i was interested in. when i asked who was calling, he hung up, without speaking another word. anyone had similar, who can tell me who this organisation are? or tell me how i can find out? the number was withheld.

mandimoo, a lot of these calls are scams, and you pay an absolute fortune via your phone bill when you contact them.

you might want to check with your service provider to see if there's anything else you should do.

besides make a will ;o)
I have made a will but not with these scammers.......through my usual solicitors. However, don't make a solicitor an executor 'cos they cost a fortune.....
If you're registered with the telephone preference service they should stop sales calls but many of these callers get round it by saying they are doing a survey (even though their ultimate goal is to sell something)

Oh Gosh yes don't use solicitor as they charge a vast amount of money for executor services - charges not usually stated at the time.

I'd wait til nearer Christmas if you haven't got one as quite often some companies will charge you £50 or so and donate it to charity - must be a tax thing!
As soon as these recorded spams start playing, hang up.
I've just started getting the 'Congratualtions you have won.......'./.........haven't had those for years....
