These are the scammers going under the name of Consumer Research Centre Lifestyle Research Centre etc trying to resell your data for more TPS breaching calls as reported at https://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/06468451863

The call centre commissioned is now based in the Phillippinnes but the script and the things they say they want to do research about are the same as The Lifestyle Research Centre or National Consumer Research Centre and the scam is the same as before.

There is a UK company that is known to be behind these calls called Phruit Ltd (www.phruit.co.uk) with a trading addess of The Barn, Huddlestones Wharf, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG24 4UL and a registered company number of 05532899 with an address at Barnby House, Barnby Gate, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG24 1PZ.  Make sure to report them using these address details to both www.tpsonline.org.uk and www.consumerdirect.gov.uk

This scam is now being perpetrated under the new name of Intelliserve by another Philippines based call centre as reported by me at https://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/006329237163#p393898291987441635

Just had a new overseas team operating the same sting but now under the name of Global Equity News of pretending to do a market research survey asking about the state of the economy and then whether you hold any investments or have bought any recently,

From his accent and my previous dealings with Be Unlimited the caller was clearly Bulgarian and I could hear that other callers in the same call centre next to him were also Bulgarian.  When I challenged him that weren''t they going to sell my data to people who would call me about Carbon Equities, Rare Earth Metals and Fine WInes as investments he denied it but in such a way that it was obvious it was true and he knew the games was up.

In this case the number was just straightforward Internatiional/Unavailable rather than a faked UK telephone number.  If you get a call from Global Equity News do not complete the survey or you will be pestered with calls from numerous different variants of the Boiler House investments scam.

The data is clearly being sold on to UK pests like www.carbonequities.co.uk and www.moncharm.co.uk to try rook people for a standard "initial investment" of £5,0000
