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:

    In the U.S. for instance, the value of a homemaker’s productive work has been imputed mostly when she was maimed or killed and insurance companies and/or the courts had to calculate the amount to pay her family in damages. Even at that, the rates were mostly pink collar and the big number was attributed to the husband’s pain and suffering.
    Gloria Steinem (20th century)

    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;
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    Service ... is love in action, love “made flesh”; service is the body, the incarnation of love. Love is the impetus, service the act, and creativity the result with many by-products.
    Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 3, ch. 3 (1962)
