Is uswitch.com Safe?

The site itself sends out a newsletter with details of the latest prices and special offers for gas, electrictiy, credit cards, mobile phones .... you know the kind of thing. What it also offers are "surveys" which, from my experience, collect personal details which are then passed on to third parties. If uswitch has a privacy policy it's hard to find ... If you are rash enough to complete one of their "prize draw" surveys you will, very soon after, begin to receive unsolicited phone calls from companies conducting "Lifestyle Surveys" and trying to persuade you to change your gas/electricity/phone provider or consolidate your debts or claim for missold PPI or whatever. The calls will just keep on coming, even if you have signed up with the Telephone Preference Service to block such calls. And the callers will have all your personal details to hand, courtesy of Uswitch.

In the 5 years from opening my email address I never had any spam until I used uswitch. Since then I have been bombarded with all the usual type offensive garbage. DO NOT enter your email address on this site, use a temporary address from somewhere like mailinator.
