02030043198

oh they're called 3C?
they have been ringing several times over the last few days. always silent at first, then a far off voice
I just got duped into answering questions. i feel like a fool. i could barely understand what the asian lady on the end of the phone was saying.

the problem is that my household is on the telephone preference service already. they have no scruples!

Got a call from this number today wouldn't tell me who they were just started asking questions,I kept asking who are you,he kept on speaking over me

I missed a call fron 02030043198 on Saturday 12/04/08 at 2.20pm, I called the number back and got throough to an Asian sounding bloke, he immediately proceeded to ask about the survey for 3C (or something), I advisd him I was registered with TPS, he said he would remove my number, before I could tell him what it was he hung up!

Sick to death of this number ringing. Grrrrr. It says on the TPS that it's a residential number and is already registered with the TPS.... presumably to stop getting nuisance calls himself ???!!  Don't understand.

16.30pm
It's 3c surveys, whoever they may be

called 3 times today but i ignored it did not recognise the number

This number just called me 3 times in 5 mins!!  1st time asian sounding bloke saying somethiing about a survey and hung up when I said I wasn't interested. 2nd call was silent and 3rd call hung up as I answered.  Not happy bunny as they woke up my 12wk old son!  If I manage to speak to someone on this number, they'll feel my wrath. Have taken advice from this message board and complained to Ofcom.  Have tried re-dialling the number and it's unobtainable.

Same story here, this number keeps calling me; gets my answering machine & hangs up! Tried calling back but number is non-existant! Got my own back this morning, answered & didn't say anything!!  Going to register a compliant with TPS & get a loud whistle for the next time they call; 8am is not a good time to call me unless you want to get in my bad books!!

Same experience as above - "The other person has hung up"

Same story. These muppets call me several times a day. I let my voicemail answer, but they never leave a message. Sometimes on the voicemail, I can hear them talking to each other, before they hang up. I figure, if it was really important, they would at least leave a message. Trouble is, they have started calling in the evenings around 10pm, and in the mornings around 8.30am!!! Can these people not take a hint???!!!!

Called again twice today, I denied who I was and said I had moved last week, they hung up

Just had a thought, I asked for a quote for Norwich Union car ins recently and it was a call centre in Bangalore....they took lots of personal details, are these [***] passing my details on to their mates for a sum?

Just got a call from this number - like everyone else Asian sounding guy asking for someone who I have never heard of, he hung up when I said they didn't live here. Recall the same thing happening a while ago but didn't check the number. Tried to ring it back - it rang and answered but there was silence.

This person has called me a couple of times, knows my and my husband's name, asks for one of us and then hangs up.

today the phone has rang 3 times, my wife answered the call with myself pressent and each time when she answered they hung up? i only googled the area code to see where it came from only to realise others are having the same problem. who is it calling?

Just had them call me - it's 2 minutes past 8 on a Saturday evening - grrrrrr!
This is about the 20th call I've had this week, on the times they bother to speak their either want my husband or a non-existent person, once they even asked for my son - cheeky bleeders.

I'm already registered with TPS!

Had a telephone call from them at 18:16. They rang one of the numbers I use for work, so I would have normally picked up, but as I was on the other line at the time I didn't.

They didn't leave a message so I google'd the number and this came up, know I know not to pick up calls from them in future.

These stupid phone calls are driving me nuts!!! The person they are asking for doesn't live here but still they keep calling 5 times a day... I told them that they have to delete the number but then the guy just hung up!! WTF??? The same number has been giving me 6 dropped call today. Is this possible legal??

Got a few calls from the number, my 6yr old boy answered and they asked for my girlfriend. When he said "she is not in, you can speak to my dad?" they hung up on him! (****`s) Cant wait to answer the phone myself!

This foreign man keeps ringing & asking for my son.  When I asked for a company name he got very rude (cos I couldn't understand him, then slammed down the phone when I asked him to remove my number from his call list & said love to).  Good, because I never want to speak to him again - it remains to be seen whether he does call again.  I am fed up with being bombarded with these calls - who the heck are these people (it sounded like Easy Credit Management).  This is not the only dodgy call we are receiving, but most of them withhold the number.

Hi everybody!

We've had calls (in London SW19) from this number for the last ten days (since 18th of April) 3-4 times every day non-stop.

The phone rings once and they hang up. Phoned BT to get a block on the number and they explained that it's a computer that dials out so many numbers at a time that when x number of people actually pick up the computer hangs up on the rest.

Just did a 1471 3 to ring them back and after about 20 rings managed to get an Indian bloke called "Mark" (please, stop with the fake English names already!) on the other end and said "take my number of your datebase RIGHT NOW. I have already complained to TPS and Ofcom (which I have) and if these calls do not stop I am going to sue you and your company." No swearing, no shouting, just a very stern voice.

He said he's got my number (he read it back and it was correct) and that he will remove it from the database.

This was about five minutes ago so we'll see...

Just ring them back and let the phone ring and ring, they will pick it up eventually. Just say very sternly that you want your number OFF the list NOW, end of. Threaten to sue them, that usually works.

They are called 3C Survey (as far as I could make out from the blokes accent)
