Telephone Preference Service - Unregulated Companies Charging For Their Service

Unregulated Companies Charging For Their Service

The TPS website publishes a list of "unregulated organisations" that purport to offer a service for which they charge the public. In an understated tone the TPS advises the public that: "our advice is NOT to pay them". TPS also lists the websites of these organisations many of which target related searches on Google with ads that seek to divert visitors from the TPS website to their own cash-collecting sites.

Famous quotes containing the words companies, charging and/or service:

    The recent attempt to secure a charter from the State of North Dakota for a lottery company, the pending effort to obtain from the State of Louisiana a renewal of the charter of the Louisiana State Lottery, and the establishment of one or more lottery companies at Mexican towns near our border, have served the good purpose of calling public attention to an evil of vast proportions.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    You must neither add anything to what I command you nor take away anything from it, but keep the commandments of the LORD your God with which I am charging you.
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 4:2.

    We could not help being struck by the seeming, though innocent, indifference of Nature to these men’s necessities, while elsewhere she was equally serving others. Like a true benefactress, the secret of her service is unchangeableness. Thus is the busiest merchant, though within sight of his Lowell, put to pilgrim’s shifts, and soon comes to staff and scrip and scallop-shell.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
