SPAM callers in the UAE

We have all received calls from advertisers and salespeople trying to sell us products and services that we do not require. Despite numerous requests for them to remove you from their contact list, and despite promises that this will in fact be done, no action is taken. And then they call you again a few months later. Sure, we all need to make a living, and I have no objection to the initial call enquiring about my interest. However, when I politely state that I am not interested in their services and request that I be removed from their contact list, I expect this to be done.

So now I am making available my list of the companies that have called me trying to sell me I) financial or insurance services, II) property services, and III) hotel discount programs. These are my so-called ‘SPAM callers’. What I suggest you do is save them, individually, to your Outlook contacts and synchronize them to your 'phone. That way you will see when they are calling and you can decide whether to answer the call. You are even welcome to save a copy of my “DO NOT ANSWER” jpeg file and add it as a photo to your contacts to easily see when they are calling.

The companies that have called me, and whom I have told on more than one occasion that I am not interested in their services, are as follows:
