英国信息专员办公室（ICO）对销售电话拦截设备的公司 Elderly Aids Ltd 处以 19 万英镑罚款，并责令其停止非法营销电话 1。在 2024 年 5 月至 2025 年 2 月期间，该公司向已登记拒绝接听营销电话的老年人拨打了 758,053 次推销电话 1。
在调查期间，Elderly Aids Ltd 无视信息请求并试图注销登记，其违规行为共引发约 20 起投诉 1。受害者被收取了 139 英镑的预付款以及每月 6.99 英镑的月费 1。ICO 调查主管安迪·库里（Andy Curry）表示：“该公司不仅将目标锁定在明确要求不被打扰的弱势群体身上，还通过骚扰手段向他们推销电话拦截设备。” 1 ICO 同时警告，若不缴纳罚款，可能采取进一步行动，包括取消公司董事资格 1。
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has fined Elderly Aids Ltd £190,000 for making over 750,000 nuisance calls to elderly individuals in the UK who had explicitly registered to refuse marketing communications 1. Between May 2024 and February 2025, the company, which sells call-blocking devices, placed a total of 758,053 unsolicited calls to these vulnerable targets 1. In addition to imposing the financial penalty, the ICO has ordered Elderly Aids Ltd to cease all illegal marketing calls 1.
The campaign, which prompted approximately 20 complaints, resulted in victims being charged a £139 upfront fee alongside a £6.99 monthly subscription 1. ICO Head of Investigations Andy Curry condemned the company's actions, stating, “Not only did this company target vulnerable people who had explicitly asked not to be called – they harassed them to sell call-blocking devices” 1. The regulatory body also warned that if the fine remains unpaid, further enforcement actions could be taken, which may include disqualifying the company's directors 1.
