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.

    Socialite women meet socialite men and mate and breed socialite children so that we can fund small opera companies and ballet troupes because there is no government subsidy.

    Faster than fairies, faster than witches,
    Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;
    And charging along like troops in a battle,
    All through the meadows the horses and cattle;

    Books can only reveal us to ourselves, and as often as they do us this service we lay them aside.
