I have just had a call from this number which is some lifestyle research centre wanting to ask questions about my household and family. When asked how they had my number, they said I had asnswered a survey on line within the last 6 months, which I did not. I also told her that I was registered with TPS, she then made her appologies and rang off.

A woman called from this number for someone with a similar surname as me. I said check your database as this person doesn't live here and then I hung up......

Just hung up when I answered the call

My mother has been pestered by calls from lifestyle research centre for several weeks, They know her name, How I have no idea as she has no computer and is unable to to ring up or send for anything. They are an absolute pain worrying elderly people. I managed to answer the phone today to a Asian lady wnting to carry out research, I told her we were on the TPS and I would report her and said I wanted mums number removed from their computer system. they hung up , for good hopefully

Called our phone, even though we're on TPS

Keep getting calls from this number am on TPS but still getting cslls

Ring each day and ask for my husband. Will not say who is calling. Told them we do not take cold calls but still continue to ring.

We have had these people ringing on and off for the last year or so for someone who used to own our number.  In the last 2 days they have run 4 times. We've told them this person doesn't have the number anymore... told them to remove our number (twice they said they did).  This time I got really angry and demanded to know where they were calling from.  She told me they were calling from Manilla.  She said they would remove our number again.  You know what. They called again 5 minutes later.

We even have withheld number blocking - but because it is international - it can't be blocked.

Give me strength!

The caller called himself Joma Cacu.  Said he was from the Philipines.  And that I was not to worry because I am protected by the Data Protection Act.  He did not know how I could be protected by an UK law in the Philipines.
He said the call was on behalf of the Lifestyle Research Center - a British company he said.  But he could not provide either the VAT registration number nor the company's house registration number.
He explained that he was doing a survey. It would take only 2 minutes.
Questions he asked were:
Was I John B?...... I had given my may when I answered the phone so I accused him of not listening.  He apologised.
Did I live at "house number" and "post code"?  I asked him what that information had to do with anything. As he knew my name and my phone number surely he knew my house number and my post code. He said he needed it to confirm that he was talking to the right person. I pointed out that he appeared to know my name so how could he need any further confirmation.
How old was I?  I said I would need to understand the relevance of that question. It's just a range he said so I offered 0-100 from which he appeared to conclude that I was 75! I disillusioned him.
Next question:--
Did I get Sky TV via a Satellite dish?  No, I answered.  Observing that it was two questions.
Would I be interested in switching to NPower? please answer yes or now or I might be interested.  
I said none of these, my answer was "under no circumstances, ever"  From which he concluded  that I was happy with my current supplier. I told him that I had not said that at all.
This chap had the patience of a saint! 17 minutes I used up of my and his time.
I asked him if I phoned him up in at his house in the Philipines would he answer me if I asked all these questions?  Oh! yes he would he said.
At point he said good bye and rang off!

I have registered with TPS.  It's useless.  It's supposed to be checked before anyone rings cold calling, but it isn't.

Not the first time we've had a call from this number.
My husband answered this time and he could barely understand her so no info as to who they were.
She asked for me but got the usual, "not interested" and hung up.

Never answered as I did`nt recognise the number

I had a call from this number the other day asking for someone I've never heard of so I told them they had the wrong number but he said that I could help anyway.  I asked how I could help if I wasn't the person they were looking for and he said that it was a 'free' service being offered.  I then pointed out that I was with the TPS and that they should therefore not be calling the number even if it was on their lists under another name.  He didn't seem too worried about that and kept saying that it was 'free'.  I've had a number of calls asking for this same person in the past but they've always come up as 'unavailable' so I don't always bother answering.  Because this looked at first glance like a London number and I have friends and contacts down there, I answered.  When they've asked for this person in the past and I've told them that they have the wrong number they just carry on anyway.  They ask if I live at whatever address she lives at (I presume anyway) which I don't so I tell them that but that doesn't seem to bother them. I've never gone any further than that though, I just don't have the time for these people that won't do as they say they will - which is to remove her name & number from their call lists as she obviously gave the wrong number in whatever form she filled in that they picked it up from.  They just ignore it and hope that I'll give in, but I'm just getting more annoyed with them.  I asked the TPS and they said that some calls will come through if I have ever given my telephone number out, but I never do or if I have to, I always explain that I'm ex-directory and so they are only to use that number if absolutely necessary.  I always put 00000000000 in online forms if they won't accept 'ex-directory'.  To be fair to the TPS, this is the only nuisance call I now get, all the other call colders have stopped since I joined.

Guy called while I was out - then hassled my 13 year old daughter for information when she told him I wasn't home. I AM FUMING!!!!!

Just the same as the last posting, I have just had a call from this number which is some lifestyle research centre wanting to ask questions about my household and family. When asked how they had my number, they said I had answered a survey on line within the last 6 months, which I did not. I also told her that I was registered with TPS, she then made her apologies and rang off.
The call came from the Philappines. I reprted it to BT and they said they are working on a solution to these foreign based nusance calls, but right now there is not one.

keeps calling and hanging up when i answer

Pretty much the same scenario as the other call receivers..this number has called my recently widowed mother despite her being registered with TPS. It really is unacceptable , especially as she is grieving and doesnt need nuisance calls. I do hope someone gets to the bottom of this and stops these pests ASAP!

these people keep ringing me.  its been going on for months now, i screen my calls and they don't say anything, just hang up and try again later on. I have recorded one day last month when they rang my ansaphone 4 times! I am registered with tps, so this obviously doesn't work. All i can say is they're persistent buggers! Grr

several calls from thsi number today and for the last week.  I never answer always let the machine take it but they never leave a message.  Having read the comments of others here I can see that it is a market research company, however even if I have filled in a form I always ticked for no further contact or marketing.  I am TPS registered but this doesn't seem to have any effect as I get about 10 marketing calls a day from different numbers.

From a quick search on the internet this number's area code would be from London, but isn't in use yet, so it is a fake Caller Id.  The caller wanted someone who used to live here, and when I said that that person stopped having the phone number over a year ago, he asked really politely if I could answer a survey of five questions.  I asked him where he was calling from and he said it was a UK company, but he was calling from the Philipines.

I didn't answer any questions, but just decided to waste his company's time by asking him lots of questions like "what's the weather like there?" etc.

Since the government refuses to help us, if everyone wastes the time of cold callers, it will put their companies' wages and phone bills up, so make it uneconomical to do it.  Eventually it would stop.

Had a call for husband - knew our names - said it was a survey research company and would only take 1 minute. Proceeded to tell me my address & spell each letter out in the phonetic alphabet. I said I didn't need a lesson on how to spell my address & what was their company & what were they selling & I was with TPS............. hung up..
