The first time I did that, in fairness to the caller, as soon as I mentioned TPS and being ex-directory he said he was terminating the call as he knew it was illegal to have called me. He then gave me - on being asked - the name of the company his employers bought the database from. It does seem sometimes it's a legitimate company working off a badly maintained database. Now, depending on the call, I do ask how they got my number.

You give them too much credit. Regardless of the source of the database, the responsibility is for the calling company to screen the data with the TPS. If they don't, they are not reputable.

(For the record, same BT number for 14 years, listed it on the TPS on day one, only had around 4 nuisance calls and these were all the automated dialler and automated speaker ones calling from offshore that is illegal in the UK anyway.)
