Sadly the reason so many originate overseas is specifically to get
around the issue of 'illegal in the UK'.
Similarly, cold sales calls are against the TPS regulations, but surveys
are not, which is why so many such calls are 'surveys'. If you then
express any kind of interest in anything, you immediately become an
'interested party', and have in essence just agreed to be 'phoned on the
matter .. i.e., it's no longer a cold call.
