000442088618682

I had this number call me this morning.I did'nt recognise the number so I did'nt answer it.It's a nuisance.

After complaining to one of these researchers I was told they are in India!!! I have also complained to Ipsos/Mori on their website & told them I will be reporting them if any further calls are received, I am registered with TPS.
If you complain online they will ask for your name & email address, I have left my phone number but no other details, they don't need them. I have entered 'Information irrelevent' in those boxes. If Ipsos/Mori wish to contact me they can talk to me by telephone, that way they won't be swamping my email or letterbox with their surveys!
As their researchers are calling from India they appear to have their calls diverted through some kind of system Ipsos/Mori have at their London Harrow office, thus producing the 0 0044 number.
If anyone would like their Harrow number here it is:-  
Tel: +44 (0)20 8861 8000
Fax: +44 (0)20 8861 5515

As above, this is a market research company.  I think they use the 00044 number to jump TPS lists.  Also, this is a reply from a Mori to a customer who asked why they call when they are on TPS:
"It is a legal requirement under The Privacy and Electronic
Communications Regulations (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 for companies
or organisations that are making unsolicited calls (cold calling) for
sales or marketing purposes to filter those calls against the TPS lists.
There are no legal or regulatory requirements to filter unsolicited
calls made for research purposes against the TPS. Our call to your
telephone number was NOT intended to sell, market or provide any details
for any goods or services in any way. Our call would have been made to
request your participation in a genuine research study. In conducting
these studies we are required to ensure that the individuals who take
part are fully representative of the target audience being researched.
To exclude individuals with TPS registered telephone numbers could bias
the results. It would also deny you the opportunity of participating in
this research, the results of which may impact policies or services you
use! We have found that a similar number of individuals who have TPS
registered numbers take part in our studies compared to those who are
not TPS registered."

I think in this case you need to formally ask them to remove your data from their records.
I used to work for a telesales company (Sorry everyone) for a while, and by asking to have your data removed, was the only way you could have the calls stopped.  Also, be aware that if you sign up fo TPS, it takes them around 6 weeks to update their information so you may still get calls such as this in that period.

Bloody number keeps calling, I've already told them once I am registered with TPS, but I guess they are forgieners and dont care as the rules don't apply to them... dunno if i should answer now or just leave it!

also got a call from 000442088618682 8.30pm last night. Very strange person said he was doing a survey. When I told him I wasnt interested he asked if I was very sure about that!!!!!!!!!! Very unnerving !!

I have received several calls from this number over past few days, I have recently barred all calls from  witheld numbers, at a cost of £4 per month with BT as I was receiving up to 20 a day and hey ho now I start getting these.  I have had TPS for sometime, luckily I can see what numbers are calling, if this continues I will contact BT and ask them to bar them as they are nuisance calls.  Will see what happens.

I received a call from this unusual number at 9pm but did not answer. I am registered with TPS but keep on receiving survey calls all the time.

Had  a call this morning from this number......survey....hung up.

I have had loads of non-messages this past few days and as I have family abroad was getting worried. Thank you google for putting my mind at rest.

I recieved a call from yhis number at 20-45, was not happy about recieving a call at that time. they said they were from Ipsos Mori doing a survey into what i like to do with my spare time, i replied "I don't like talking to strangers on the phone in my spare time" that seemed to work.

It comes from Ipsos Mori through a South African call Centre   The local numbers of Ipsos Moris are            020 7347 3000      and 020 8861 8000  

I called the first one and asked to be put through to the person in charge who waws in pains to explain why thety are a pest to people like me who am ex directory ... he said the use computorized randomly selected numbers . I suggested that he googles 000442088618682 and find out what the public thinks about them.... He maintained it is only a farction of people who complain  ... He promised my number will be deleted within 24 hours  .... I suggest you all call them or email them on their website at
http://www.ipsos-mori.com/contactus/contactusform.aspx?query=unwantedcalls
 so that they can see more people are fed up

I recently had a new line installed and kept getting calls from this number. Being that I had not even told ANY of my friends, I traced it back to MORI POLLS. I know computers generate the numbers randomly, but I would have thought MORI would not stoop so low as to have to do this. My estimation of them has gone to rock bottom.
I believe there are soon to be MEGA fines to companies who cold call and ghost call. I can't wait to see them declared bankrupt as a result of ignoring and flouting the rules.

Some telemarketing company - did not catch the name.  She wanted to ask me some questions.  I said she could ask them but I would not give her the answers.  She hung up.  (They have called at least once before because I rang 1471 and got the number)

These calls are from the London Office, in Harrow, of Ipsos Mori, whose main number is 02088618000.
They carry out surveys, in order to generate business, for and on behalf of many different clients.

These people have been harassing me all night.  I am sick to death of them.

Had a call from this number today.........did'nt get to the phone in time however when I tried to call it back the message stated that the number does'nt exist...strange but true....obviously they are up to no good or they would'nt hide behind this number......99% sure its a debt company coz this is the style for these scumbags....I will endevour to identify this number and I WILL INFORM YOU ALL who they are.

Had a couple of calls from this number on Saturday and Sunday so searched here and found all of this info.

I looked on their website and found an email address (telephone@ipsos-mori.com) to contacted them, initially I just asked in my email if they could confirm that 00044 2088618682 was their number and they said it was, I then replied politely and asked If I could have my number removed.

I was informed this was possible and just made aware of the following.....

"I must inform you though, that in order to ensure you receive no future calls I would need to add your number to our "Do Not Call" list. Your number will only be held in order to exclude it from future studies. We absolutely guarantee that our "Do not call" database will not be disclosed to any third party, nor will it be used for any other purpose, and contains only telephone numbers, and no other details whatsoever."

After that I provided them with my number and eventually received the below reply...

"I can now confirm that your number has been removed and added to our "Do Not Call" list."

The whole process which included 5 emails from me and 4 from them took a couple of hours.

Had a call from this number, answered, was a young lady apparently doing a social survey.  When I asked how they got my number (TPR registered and ex-directory) she said it was atandom number dialler.  I told her they were un-ethical and illeagal and she started giving me abuse.

Nice!

This number has rang me at least twice in the past couple of days.
