01613372260

This number showed up on my caller ID display. We have not asked them to call and yes, we are registered with TPS. If I am not around to answer these calls and my disabled 93 year old Mother struggles to reach the phone, it is very annoying when they should not have called in the first place. They are contravening their telecomms contract by calling TPS registered numbers! I will see if there is a complaints proceedure that can be followed.

sounds to me like this could be a "man in the phone" scam.

my advice: if you don't recognize the number, or it's number witheld, then don't answer !

These W*****S have been calling me for months even though I am registered with TPS. I am getting so P****d off with them.

Pretty much as per the last 6 pages of comments: They are cold calling against the requirements of the Telephone Preference Service, pushing government grants for insulation. We've had no dealings with this company, so they have no reason to call.

Received a call from this number today but when I answered they hung up.  Obtained number from caller id 1471

I was receiving regular calls from this company which I let go to voicemail. About 3 months ago I was so fed up with them I decided to answer one and asked the lady if the company was in the habit of calling TPS registered numbers.  When she replied "no" I informed her that she was doing so now and she immediately apologised and hung up. Nothing since then so I thought that was that but no.....another call this morning which I ignored having recognised the number. This company should be taken to task.

Had a call today from this no ,as soon as i see a number i dont reconise, i  dont answer ,they soon get p====d off,when talking to the invisable man,every time they ring up.

yep. they called me too on 29/09/2009 at 11.07am. my awnserphone took it and they didn't leave a message. at least i know not to awnser it if they ring again now (i have caller id and awnserphone).

never dealt with this company and certainly don't owe them any debts.

I am registered with tps but have never found it stops these companies.

I also have withheld number blocked by BT as well which does get rid of a lot of these calls (although not this one).

as with all calls like this, when i answer them and hear a delay in connection, i just hang up. i've given up trying to be polite and speaking to 'them' - why should i justify my not wanting to speak to them? it's still a pain, however, that they've interrupted me in what i'm doing... who gives them the right to do that?

as ever, tps doesn't mean much... why can't there be a blanket ban on cold calling? i can't think of a reason for it benefiting anybody (other than the companies involved and the callers trying to earn a wage).

3 rings and nothing else!!!

Just been called. Didn't answer because didn't recognise the number. After reading these comments stretching back over a year I am wondering why they are allowed to be in business. Is it worth complaining if nothing is done?

More calls from this shower! Either hang up or they ask for someone I've never heard of? If I receive more I am extremely tempted to scream down the phone.... My patience is very limited and it's quite likely I will do this as I have other things to do and more important calls to make/receive

Over the past two weeks I have received several calls from this number, always asking to speak to someone I've never heard of, usually a Mrs Taylor. Don't know what they get out of it, they don't try to sell anything to me, it's just annoying!

Still going strong, don't these muppets realise that they must alienate people by this sort of cold calling and I would actively discourage people from using them due to their flagrant abuse of the cold calling regulations

4 calls from this outfit this afternoon. I was out, so none of them were answered by me. I have BT Answerthingy but no messages were left. I have actually complained about this lot to the Info Commissioners Office but obviously nothing useful resulted (I got a "go away with your pointless complaint" letter basically).

Shall we just send the boys round to re-educate the managers at both Tameside and the Info Commissioners Office please?

Just called today I am with TPS didn't invite the call, nor fill in any questionaire as they usually say  did.

Can I suggest that anyone receiving a call from this number report the offender to their local trading standards.
It appears that the callers may be committing at the very least a nuisance offence, and continue to do so.
Thank you.

I am registered with the TPS yet these and others continue to "cold Call"

I am registered with TPS but also had a call on 12/10/09 at 17.19 from these annoying people, but having just received an email a few days earlier regarding ways of dealing with nuisance calls or scams, I decided to put this into practice.
Caller ID showed the number to be 0161 3372260 but I didn't catch the name of the company when I answered the phone although when the caller asked if I would answer a few questions, I said 'can you just hold the line one moment please' & the caller politely said that of course he could.
I then left the phone & the caller hanging in mid air & kept occasionally checking the phone to just hear background chatter from a call centre but then after 5 mins I heard the caller say to someone else 'I can't understand it as she asked if I could hold the line for one moment' !!!
Surprise, surprise - the phone was then disconnected by the caller & I haven't heard another thing since, so if this company does not seem to be deterred by TPS or anything else for that matter then perhaps this goes some way towards getting your own back for them having invaded your privacy in the first place.
Thank goodness I checked your website & had my suspicions confirmed but it always pays to be constantly on your guard against all these similar scam companies.

Got a missed call from them aswell today-no message left but strange that they called at 6:30 but when I rang the number back their office hours stated 9-6-strange!!

Anyway checked the website http://www.tamesideinsulation.co.uk/index.php ... id=12&Itemid=44 and all bonifide (fax no is 1 digit different to the phone no. but still annoying as I am on the TPS/ex-directory etc.etc.
