Received call from this number 27/2/11 but they hung up when asked why they were calling.

Just had a call from them at 1940 hrs. Asked if I was Mr C.... and when I sail yes they just hung up. Dialled 1471 to get their number and when tried to phone back got the same strange engaged type tone.  I have no idea what they are up to !!!!!

how can you say 'the callers ID is always witheld they can't call you once with it witheld and then a sec later with the number showing' when that is EXACTLY what happened? The 1st call was with a witheld number saying they were from this company, the second call was from the number listed on here that says it is from the same company.

They called AGAIN today so don't take no for an answer. I am on TPS and you can put in a complaint - some companies have been stopped from calling and fined lots of cash for ignoring TPS rules so something can be done if enough people report them.

Why defend them saying they are only doing a job etc when they just keep calling even when they have been told we aren't interested and won't ever be?

For those on TPS wanting to complain about this company, the site says: 'Complaints handled by TPS and Corporate TPS are included in a regular report sent to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). It is the ICO who are the body responsible for enforcement.' so you can report this company to TPS and they will pass on the info tp the ICO.

i have worked with that company and they treat their staff very badly, if know people endin up in so much dept working for this company, but there is no tps sheet, and numbers are read from a telephone sheet, but i feel for all who deal with them customers and staff ( who are only tryin to earn a living.)

I was called on 17th March 2011 at 11:03 am

Had a call from "Edwards and Evans" on 14 Mar 11. Woman said they were a media company and started asking questions - was I the home owner. I said do we have a relationship? She said no, so I said I was registered with TPS and they shouldn't be ringing me. She insisted I was not on the TPS list, so I said well not interested anyway and put the phone down. Number was withheld.  Rang TPS who said yes I was definitely registered.
Am sending in complaint to TPS.
Only just found this site - interesting!

Just received call offering £800 of kitchen vouchers but said not interested so she hung up abruptly.  Unfortunately my 2 year old, who I normally put on the phone to talk gibberish to them, had just gone to bed.  I'll get them next time!

After too many of these calls, I challenged the caller asking him if he cared that I am registered with TPS and would probably report him.  He laughed and asked how I'd do that as he was calling from a witheld number. Their arrogance is unbelievable.

Stupid idiots like today's caller from DM and their companies that disrespect the law and people's privacy should be made to face up to the consequences of their arrogance. So I have reported them, and will gladly report them to the police as well for willful illegal harrassment - they KNOW what they are doing is illegal, yet they laugh at us for pointing it out to them.

The MD is Donald MacLeod (hence DM Designs), and it is interesting that he was fined £1070 for sexual harrassment, kissing one of his 19 year old employees - while his wife was next door! Has he no shame? He was branded a sex pest by the Tribunal, which found his demeanour to be somewhat evasive. So now you know what sort of company you're dealing with...!  It is not only us TPS registered people that have been harrassed it would appear.

So, next time they harrass you illegally, why not call them, try to speak with Mr MacLeod, free of charge, on 0800 185186.

Shame on DM. If they didn't harrass us and leave us little option but to reprt them here, probably his past might have remained more secret.

It seems this company has form:

I would just like to say these people are only doin a job theres no scam goin on and the reason the police dont care is they have more things to deal with like real crimes get a life!

can i just say ur talkin rubbish i worked for this company for a long time and i know they do not start work untill 10.30 0n a saturday!!!!!
Also these guys on the phones are good people who are tryin to put there selfs through collage, pay rent and bring up children so you should think of that next time you shout at them.
The work they do isnt illegal other wise they wouldnt have been running for 27 year would they?
I dont mean to sound horrible but I hate it when people jump to conclusions thinking were all stupid kids when were not this is a profesional buissness run by fantastic people who are only doing there job! and LEE GLENDINING stop wrighting stuff u Weirdo if this place is so bad why do u keep cumin back???????

Why are there so many employees keep coming on here saying how lovely this company is when there are plenty of reports of them being nasty and swearing? And don't use the excuse of 'they get the same done to them from the people they call' because I bet they only do after the poor person who they call has been called repeatedly already and are at the end of their tether. Plus the staff are getting paid to do what they do in the time they call, the person they are calling isn't getting paid - they are getting their personal life disturbed and are getting harassed and frustrated that they can't make it stop so aren't gaining anything by it!

Your anger, insults, inability to spell or use correct grammar doesn't do much for your argument 'ex-employee' that you are not all stupid kids and you are all in fact lovely people trying to get through 'collage' (college I take it unless you're trying to actually get through a piece of paper a child has stuck things to)

Also - why are there so many employees/ex-employees finding this site with the number of the company they have worked/are working for? Most people are here after putting the number in a search engine and being directed here (usually with the first half a dozen results of the number searched being about complaints!) after being hassled by the company so I'm puzzled as to why you are looking up the number.

Female voice saying she was from Frasers & Fosters.  Did I mind answering a few questions?  I said I did and told her to get off the line.  She called back 5 times before I unplugged the phone. Called again the next day!
I can find no reference to Frasers and Fosters - presumably just a new name for Gregg and Godwin.
Complaining to TPS but don't suppose the can do anything.

From the posts from people claiming to work for the company clearly not able to understand the law in terms of tps violation, despite it being spelled out for them many times in this thread, would you really trust these people to come into your home and work in your kitchen/bathroom/bedroom?

Mr "ex staff" if that post was written after you have used your wages to go through college, you should demand your money back!

I recieved a phone call from this company today posing as "Fraser and Fosters". Their rudeness is incomprehensible. I have submitted a complaint to watchdog in the hope that they can shed some light on this subject in the media. I have also provided the links above as this is clearly not an issue limited to just a few people.

To those employees who clearly feel emphatically about their company. Many of you mention the need to make money. What you are doing is illegal. I wouldn't go out and steal at the end of the month if I couldn't pay my rent. There are legitimate and fullfilling ways to earn a living. Being rude to people in their own homes for no reason other than to make a few quid is not one of them whatever your circumstances.

I worked for this company and they just sacked me 2 days ago i only took the job as i had no other options but what happens is we are givin a script and we are supposed to state at the begining of the phone call that it is for a voucher worth 850 pound that goes towards the cost of a new fully fitted kitchen, and in the whole time i was there not once did i hear any of the people that where on the phones using this script i will post what most of them say so they can get peoples details



Hi there is that Mr/Mrs________?

Hi There, My name is ______ and im calling from Frasers and Fosters today its just a quick call to let you know that we have 10 exclusive vouchers worth £1000 that we are awarding to home owners in your area.

Firstly, Could I just confirm that you are the home owner there Sir/Madam?

Thats great thanks and what we like to do is ask a couple of questions as part of our survery, Would that be ok?

Firstly, How old would you say your kitchen was Sir/Madam?

Thanks Sir, Lastly could i just get u to confirm your postcode at that address please?

Well thanks again Sir/Madam and good luck in our draw and if you are selected for one of vouchers someone from our company will give u a call back but if ur not selected then you wont be bothered again, Thanks Bye.


thats what most peoples on the phone will say and its a total scam i hated working there but really needed money i think people should be aware of what they are doing aswell they dont close until half 8 monday to friday which i think is a really inapropriate time to be calling people i have heard people giving abuse to the people they are phoneing on the phones and sometimes iv seen them even call them back after the person has said that they are not interested. Also if the people are on the TPS list it is supposed to be our responceability to note it down and to make sure that they are removed but once again the staff would say they are going to do this but would just move on to there next call.

I posted this to let everyone know that the company is a scam but it isnt the owners fault i would say it was more the managers of the teams and the staff on the phones.

Also when people say im not interested in a new kitchen the staff will say oh its not for a new kitchen .. blah blah blah and when the people call them back they always say you have won voucher number 7 of 10 its funny how they make so many calls a day but its always voucher number 7 of 10 that the people win.

Glaswegian female.

"Hello I'm from Fraser & Foster you have won a free kitchen voucher for £850. Could you confirm you are the house owner and your postcode."

Screams scam.
