One way of tracing who they are working for would be to give false details like a name change and see what turns up - then attack from that end. I think I shall inform them that my name is Richard Head

had a call from these people asking for my mother who passed away 2 years ago which upset me and i just asked to be removed from their list and hung up hope i dont get anymore. thanks to this site i dont feel alone with this problem

I have just received my 18th call from these idiots - the National Research Centre...which Nation? The people calling me are certainly not British and have a very loose grasp of the English Language.  I have just asked (for the 8th consecutive call) thtat my telephone numberbe removed from their database.  The "gentleman" calling himself Daniel proceeded to tell me that he would not be removing my number and that I must expect to continue to receive these unwanted calls until I answered their survey! Surely this is harrassment.  I am heavily pregnant and need to rest as much as possible.  These calls always come at the most incovenient time, either as soon as I get a chance to put my feet up or when I am busy with my other two children.  What is wrong wth these people?  Are they not committing an offence?  HELP!

this no called,said they where not selling anything ,wanted to just ask a few ques,they new my name address etc.would not say who they were?

Contacted on understanding it was a Mori poll and she (Asian lady) was not selling anything, but asking what turned out to be lifestyle questions, homeowner, when insurances due, satellite tv, illnesses mobility and age ranges.  She had not only our telephone number but our address as well and stated information would be held for data purposes.
Asked where she got our number as we are ex directory and TPS registered.  

Will be ready next time!!!

I`m both ex-directory AND registered with TPS and yet, despite this I, too, am receiving calls from this number......Grrrrrrrr!

This number actually phoned me at work for a survey,i'm only allowed personal call's at work in emergencies,when i was questioned by my boss i really didn't know what to say,i told them they shouldn't be calling me there but i'm worried now they might keep calling and get me in all sorts of trouble.

A "Mr Stevens" with a strong Indian (or similar) accent rang and asked for me by name.  Asked how he got my number, he said I had done a competition on line recently.  Can't remember it, but it might be true.  I was aware of phishing and identity theft so cautious, but let him go on.  He specifically said that "tehse questions are on behalf of RIAS - when is my house/contents insurance due, and likewise car insurance, then agiain "on behalf of" Sandersons' blinds - do I have a conservatory/  Nothing untoward, but a nuisance.  Spoke to BT who say they are working on a solution to overseas nuisance calls, and also informed RIAS and Sandersons, who were, unsurprisingly, surprised.  Obviously, I have given personal information to the likes of insurance companies and others when asking for quotes - I suspect an overseas call-centre operaator is making himself a few bob on the side.

A woman with a thick accent called today, asking for me by name, and when I refused to confirm my name she said that she was from the National Research Centre. I told her to 'bugger off', and slammed down the phone.  She phoned back almost immediately, and I said that I had told her to bugger off, and slammed down the phone again - hope  it hurt her ear!  Did 1471, and found that this pest had called from 02068884362.  The worrying thing is that although I do my utmost to keep my landline private, I am ex-directory and registered with TPS so get very few calls of this type, this person knew my name.

Had the same call as all the ones before me. I ahve reported it to tps so maybe it will do some good.

Got a call from this number yesterday but didn't answer. Unfortunately it doesn't matter if you are on the TPS as if they are calling for research purposes they don't have to check your number is on the list before calling.

unknown caller

Persistant unwanted, unsolicited caals from this number

Just got my 2nd call today from these muppets. Next one gets "oh, just hold" and I walk away.

Had a call from National Reserch Centre today at 16:37. New my name but I asked who was calling. They said they wasn't selling anything.I said I was busy at the  moment and they hung up.

Sorry about typo. For "new" read "knew"!

reporting this nuisance call

Got a call from this number today - they asked for my wife - she was out - they asked for me - I said not interested and asked if I could be removed from their call list - she said NO and hung up!!!

Had 2 calls recently from this number and we are EX Directory and am very careful who give number out to. Said my husband had answered an online survey within the last 6 months (he unable to use PC as he is disabled but it is he they want to talk to) he refused. Next time I'll leave it to 1571 to take a message but most annoying

Voice once a male then second time a female but both had a kind of computereised voice artificial voice. Weird.

Range me on 12th Jan 2011 luckily my truecall kicked in and got rid I only knew of it as I was going through truecalls call logs just now,
