Got a call today. They put the phone down when I answered.

Same here. They're a strange bunch, not listed anywhere online and when I phoned back there's a message saying "We'll answer your call shortly" - no company name.
I've got a feeling it could be based in Scam City.

Just got a call from this number.  The caller hung up when the answering machine kicked in.

It's a Dundee number, probably kitchens or double glazing.

This number just called, our answering machine is permanently on, I have a list of 'scammed numbers' and this one is being added to it. Is there a website where the numbers can be added?

said it was about a  health survey  i did 12 months ago  asked if i was in good health when i said yes  they thanked me for answering the phone then hung up

This number called me today.  I answered thinking I recognised the number as a friend in Evesham (but it was Dundee).  Woman could not stop giggling, eventually told me her name was Courtney.  Could not hear the name of the firm.  She said it was about a survey I filled in 12 months ago.  I said I hadn't filled in any survey and she said "You don't remember?"  I began to try to find out more about them but she said "There's no need to be rude" and put the phone down.  I tried calling back and got a message saying "We'll answer your call shortly" - but they didn't (same as 'Talkin' After Midnight' above).

Just got a call from this number.  The caller hung up.

Same problem as sickfedup and Theodore ... asking about Health Survey and then when pressed for details they hang up.

Suspect it's a scam of some kind - beware.

I have also had two calls from the above number...
both times I didn't get to the phone quickly.....
left no messages....
I too have put it into my phone as "SCAM"

Said I too had filled in a health survey. I said I had no recollection of this and she said I had complained of aches and pains and how I was feeling now.i said fine and was then asked if my wife was in on saying that I was not married she thanked me and hung up.
Still curious bout what the scam really was.

called me today stating they were from pure independence and I had completed a survey 12 months ago.

But had my previous address.  Asked me about aches and pains; I said thanks but no thanks and hung up.

Just had a call from a polite guy from this number saying I had completed a health survey 12 months ago, told him I couldn't remember what I did an hour ago let alone 12 months ago. He asked me about my aches and pains I said  fine thanks, did have my name and address which I wouldn't confirm, but he was polite thanked me for my time and hung up. A bit suspicious....think he was going to try and sell me something

I just had a call from this number and a Lady called Courtney said she was calling about a health survey i had filled in, whilst i was trying to remember if i had filled in any health survey recently she hung up. Very strange.

Someone called 3 times in 1 week. Always no one there. Tried to call, and always report says 'all our lines are busy - hold on! So I drop the connection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a call on 9/10/12 from what sounded like Pure Independence Ltd claiming I had done a phone survey about health a year ago; i had no recollection of such a survey but was told the box for aches and pains had been ticked (a friend had the same call days before, also had no recollection of doing  the survey, so it sounds bogus - my friend promptly hung up). They then enquired about my and my wife's aches and pains; I said I did have some (a good ploy - most people do at times) but what did they want? As I kept hedging their questions and kept asking what they wanted, at last they said they had a health mat that they wanted people in my post-code area to trial for free, supposedly good for aches, pains, heart problems and goodness knows what else! They claimed that there was no charge, but sceptic of cold calls that I am, I didn't believe it, said I wasn't interested and was terminating the call. At least they thanked me for my time and said goodbye politely!

Phone call from that number, aked my name and then hung up

Several.  Google a number you don't recognise and you'll get a list like http://www.findoutwhocalledyou.com/ ,  http://strangecallsforum.com/ or  http://whocallsmefromthisnumber.com/.  Check out their "Contact Us" page (link at bottom).  Does the similarity of format suggest anything to you?  

Even this website does not give a business registration or physical address.  From their "Legal Stuff" they seem to be American.

http://www.411phonesearch.co.uk/ appears to serve the UK.  However, reverse phone lookups are illegal here.  The domain is owned by a Florida company, though the server in California hosts two other websites: http://www.kentucky-deathrecords.org/ and http://www.montanajailinmates.org/ .  Draw your own conclusions.

The somewhat antiquated design of the international phone system means that using the system "backwards" -- for tracing, blocking etc. is expensive.  The only bodies who can do this (BT/Openreach) would be unwilling to reduce their shareholders' profits.  In other words, we're screwed.  If you haven't seen the futuristic series "Continuum" on Syfy, watch it and be warned!!!  [BWahaahaa and other spooky wailings....]

I have had a call from the same number previously but today received another call from an almost identical number except for one character changed. it was 01382 8 77024

missed a call from this number. called back but no ring out tone just some inane chimes.  Must check the next phone bill.

Had a call on 08.01.2013 from a person called Jodie claiming that I had completed a survey and asking me to confirm my identity. Before answering her question I asked who she was and was told Pure Independence. Told her that I had not completed any survey. She apologised and hung up.
