I was foolish enough to look into these investments on the stock markets for Amazon shares for £200. Anyway I decided not to go ahead and told them so politely, I then started receiving calls from many different numbers. I actually asked one man could he stop the calls happening as they would not get them any money . He said no unless you open an account we will make your life a misery. I told him that was rude and he said I will be rude I will spoil your life. I was a bit taken aback but replaced the receiver. He has tried to keep is word I have had many calls from this and similar numbers. I block each one as it happens, I don't know what else to do as it cant be regarded as a cold call since I initially gave my name and number.
