02068884362

Have been plagued by them - this time asked him to remove our number from their calling list.
Was told I was deceiving them (!)
And that they wouldn't do so unless I help them (!)
Will speak to TPS or whoever - and sop being nice.
ACME Thunderer whistle by the phone sounds a good idea....

called about 17.45 sat 16 June when answered just went dead nu tone

I have had 6 calls in 2 days, and Ive lost count of how many in the last year from these bloody people always asking for my brother or my deceased father.
I swear Im tearing my hair out over these calls.

When I answered the phone they hung up without a word. Some people (02068884362) do not have a clue.

Had a call from this number today. The female caller asked for me by name. Told me she was calling from Consumer Sentry. When I asked her where she got my number from she said it was in her database. I told her my number was ex directory and registered with TPS. She said she would remove my number from her database and hung up.

Called today despite being TPS. Can someone not get this number cut off?

Received a call from this number today.  As I receive so many foreign marketing calls my children have been told not to answer the phone and the answerphone kicks in after two rings. What is the point of having a landline nowadays.  They hung up on answerphone.  I am sick of people calling me!

A most peculiar, foreign sounding, gentleman called me from this number to ask questions for a survey. He knew my name and address but then he asked me to confirm the pronunciation of my first name, which I thought was rather odd. When I said I would rather not do that he hung up! Of course, yes I am also registered with the useless TPS.

Another call from this bunch despite being on TPS, and having told them three times before not to call again.  Cant something be done to stop these annoying a*******les

The short answer is "No".  They 'phone from overseas and UK law does not apply.  The additional problem is that they are not really a Market Research company.  They just want to collect information to sell to other scammers.  And so it goes on.

called my father in law today pestered abt survey why do they target the elderly

They target the elderly because that generation were brought up to be polite and to trust people.  The scammers have no shame or morals and couldn't care less that they upset and, in some cases, steal from the elderly and vulnerable.  You only have to look at the fake loan scam to know that. They also know that most elderly people are not very computer savvy and take advantage of that.

I get calls from these people every day, so what I normally do is, ask them to hold the line for a second, then go and make a drink!  They've usually hung up by then.  It's a good way to waste their time!

twenty two calls in two weeks it is about time they were stopped i just hang up

A silent call from this number we are registered with  tps

Neusance calling..Number dont exist when i called it back.

This number has been ringing me for over 6 months. I've done everything from ask them nicely to stop ringing me to being directly not very polite but still they ring. I now refuse to answer when their number shows. I never give my home number out, never do surveys & am registered with TPS. Cant something be done to stop these harassing leeches from calling

As far as i'm aware today was the first call i've had from this company.  I wasn't at home but listened to an interesting answer phone message from them saying hello and repeating my forename and surname numerous times before they realised there wasn't anyone there and hung up.  It says a lot about a tele marketing company when they are unable to tell either via technology or a human dialling a number that they speaking to an answering machine.

The vast majority of these calls are generated by a computer that has a set of City and exchange numbers preset then dials a combination of the last 6 or 4 digits to connect with a live number. Once that call connects it is registered as live and sold on as part of a marketing data package. When the " UK research person calls and gets info like names and postcode they have a greater asset to sell on to many companies that pay for this info.
I have had two to three calls a day in the last two weeks and I just play them for a while. When they ask me to confirm my postcode I tell them it's wrong. I did have one guy (Eric) who told me I was very rude for talking over him and that I should learn some manners! Needless to say I asked him to explain how rude was it for him to call me, lie to me about his name and demand information from me. He hung up.....

Never will be a solution, some calls are channelled via a private circuit from the foreign country and then terminated in London, the call then breaks out onto the BT (or any other provider) network and is delivered to your home. There would be no foreign line ID on the original call, only a UK based landline ID presented to your land line.
BT nor the TPS can ever stop it, with billions of calls per annum entering the UK every year, they don't have the capacity to police very call in real time.
Also every call generates income and is the network providers main source of income so they are less inclined to solve this.
Personally I always quote ID fraud as my reason for not confirming any info, asking them if they would give out info if they were in my position, pointless I know!
