02070603887

received a call from this number 'first call group' regarding ppi they asked for me by my maiden name and knew my address. I did talk to the caller as i had been interested in doing this but before i would give any personal details over i thought here i'm just going to check out who you are on the computer . when i got first call group up there was a warning on the website that a company from south africa was calling pretending to be them and that they did not do ppi and would not cold call.  I told the caller this and ended the call.


I shall be checking out all cold calllers from now on!

How do I stop 1st call ringing me from this number almost every day despite telling them to remove me from their database?

Ring them back on 02070609336, they have another number to hand out to.suckers (or those they think are suckers!)

Do a number withhold using 141 and be very persistent, they clearly use Ip Telephony.

I went through 6 people, and bombarded them with calls in return until i found one with some common senae, told him I worked for the police and would cause a fuss in SA with their police unless they stopped calling me.

Worked finally!

A Call from 0207 0609 336 claiming to be First Call Group rang me on my phone which used to belong to my brother who died 7 years ago. The caller was foreign and just was a nuisance and using an out of date contact list

Just had a call from Amanda Berkeley at 1st Call Helpline telling me I was due an £1800 refund as soon as I questioned her closely she got agressive and hung up.

17:20 on 22 Nov 2012 - just got called by these people who freely gave me the following ...
"First Call", 220 Flanders Drive, Phoenix, South Africa. They also gave me their telephone
no even though it was withheld. The caller gave her name as, "Pranola".

They are chasing PPI claim commission.

If it's your mobile see if you can block em  - I just have after reading off here

DO NOT CALL ME ANY MORE   IF I WANT YOU I WOULD CALLYOU MYSELF

Caller said they were going to help me claim back my PPI, luckily I couldn't remember my account no.

They's still at it. Have had call about PPI and another about what they called my Pension Review. I asked for the address and got 220 Flanders Drive, Durban. The operator also said that their Head Office was in Kent, presumably they meant in England

They are a bloody pest !

Reported them to both the TPS & the ICO

Please will everybody else do the same ?

this is from company FIRST CALL from the accent they appear to be south african although phone number check places them in central london...It is for ppi claims
Swore at them so not expecting to get called back ,,but not holding breath waiting

Got a call today from these people - said have you not heard of the telephone preference service? - they said would not call me again!

I have had numerous calls from various numbers. I bought the item in the link provided

http://www.maplin.co.uk/cpr-call-blocker-784225

Its not a spam or scam. If you do not want to click on the link just search for cpr call blocker. Sky and Virgin charge between £5-8 per month for a call rejection scheme. This product worked great for me after it became clear that Virgin had given me a previously used number.

just received a phone call from 'first call helpline' - strange accent difficult to understand - had my name/address and asked if i was under 70years old - told me for my safety call was recorded according to guidelines of the trading standards authority - clearly there have been complaints
said they wanted to do a lifestyle survey so continued - first question is my supplier for gas and electricity the same?  lifestyle survey???? my foot - told them that wasn't any of their business - he sighed and put phone down!

keep a whistle by the telephone = when they call deafen them with a short sharp blast. that's what they will get if they call me again. if we all act together we can deafen the whole lot of them

I am sick to the back teeth with calls from first call group I am contacting a lawyer and taking this further

Received sales call from "Dave of First Call Group" at 17.43 hours 15.10.13, who was first breaking the law as all my phone and mobile numbers are registered for exclusion of sales and marketing calls with TPS. In addition First Call Group had personally been told not to contact me, several months ago.
Today Dave immediately began "This is not a sales call" but then went on to read through a sales canvassing script about Pensions. When I asked him to confirm the company he replied "First Call Group".
I said "You just said it's not a sales call. Are you calling me to try to drum up business?"
He promptly said "Okay, sorry about that, Goodbye" and teminated the call. I tried ringing the number back (02070603887) but it doesn't ring or respond, probably by deliberate design to prevent complaints.
SO ....The complaint details were immediately passed online to to TPS and to ICO (Information Commissioners Office) who can and will deal with these scum.
If you can't contact ICO by internet, complain on telephone via 0303 123 1113.

FIRST CALL GROUP IS CLEARLY A ROGUE COMPANY.... IF WE JUST SUBMIT COMPLAINTS TO THE RELEVANT AUTHORITY BODIES (ABOVE), WE CAN GET THEM PUT OUT OF BUSINESS!!
THIS SCAMMER COETZEE KNOWS HE AND THIS COMPANY ARE BREAKING THE LAW HERE IN THE UK BEFORE THEY CALL, DURING THEIR CALL, AND AFTERWARDS.
SIMPLY SAYING THEY WILL "REMOVE YOUR NUMBER FROM THEIR DATABASE" AFTER PEOPLE COMPLAIN HERE IS NOT SUFFICIENT, THEY SHOULD COMPLY WITH ICO AND TPS RULES, AND NEVER EVEN CALL PEOPLE WHO ARE ON TPS ANYWAY.
THAT'S A LEGAL OBLIGATION FOR THEIR BUSINESS OPERATION WHICH THEY ALL KNOW.
IN THE OPINION OF THIS FORMER POLICE OFFICER, COETZEE IS NOTHING SHORT OF A CROOK! I LOOK FORWARD WITH EAGERNESS TO READING HE IS DEALT WITH.

Got a 'you have won the lottery' letter asking me to call 02070604998.
There is also a direct line number that is a mobile number, if anyone is interested, 07934244518.
Obviously some scam, although the interesting thing is they give a UK address so should be covered by TPS

The Square Mile Securities story appears to have ended with one of its directors, John Joseph Gaskin, being banned from becoming a company director for 14 years:
John Joseph Gaskin, 44, of Writtle, Essex, has been banned from boardrooms for 14 years. He was a boss of broker Square Mile Securities, which misled investors into buying high-risk shares and ran up debts of £2.5m.
I work for these guys few years back. Never got paid on time they wrote £100,000 a week of business. Completed 50,000 plus and couldn't pay their staff a measly 1000 a month on time? Why? Because they too busy shuving bugel up their nose and buying trips to races and paying for helicopters to take them to birthday parties. They won't stop and John Gaskin runs the show and had the Moore brothers wrapped round his little finger.
