They have been ringing our number for weeks but always hang up on answering. How can we block them? Any one know?

I have had 2 calls in 10 minutes from this number one was silent.  When I answered they asked for my husband and said they were an advisory company.  Told them we were not interested but thy said they would phone back.

I keep gettin calls form this number and when I pick up the phone there is no one there really annoying. On the occaisions they have spoken to me I have made it clear I am not intersted how can this intrusion on my time be stopped Im sick of them.

Don't blame those on the end of the phone their just trying to earn a living same as everyone else. EMCAS is a legitimate company and one of the largest in the UK. The reason your getting the calls is because YOU filed out/answered a survey that clearly indicates you will get calls. My advice is to kindly ask the agent to get the details of the company that holds your number, they'll pop you on hold for 2mins and come back with the name of the company, the date you completed the survey and the number to call to get your details removed.

For those on the TPS I'll make aware that these calls are far from illegal, the surveys clearly state that if you complete it then you grant permission for these details to overide the TPS system.

If you honestly didn't complete a survey then someone in the household has done so in your name!

Calel today asking for my husband , saying it would be v lucrative

Have recieved several calls from this company over the last few days, never anyone one on the line. If you dial it back it is a Belfast number so does not come under normal free numbers.

No reply when answered

i had a call from emcas last week regarding my endowment policy, the man was very helpful + pleasant, in no way was he pushy, i have done ppi claims myself but wouldnt know where to start with claiming back endowment mis-selling, i have just signed + sent away the claims form, im sure emcas are acting on my best interests, yes i know their fees are high but if i recieve anything itll be a bonus as i wouldnt have pursued this claim, if not well its closure on a claim i have had for many years.

I got a call today -wish they wouldn't

I was also in the middle of urgent study

keep getting cold calls from this number............5 or 6 times a week

Emcas phoned me and said i could claim for mis-sold ppi on my credit card, but they need the 16 digit ref number from the front of my card so that they can print the papers that are needed.Surely this isn't safe to give this number out to a stranger. The bloke at the end of the phone said that this number is only a reference and nothing illegal can be done without the security code on the back so therefore its safe

You would be well advised not to threaten people or property in belfast pal they dont take kindly to threats like that. Have you not watched the news over the last 20 years?

why are you going with a 3rd parte????
I have got back £6100.00 from RBS and Barclays
and im just a cab diver  just go to WHICH.CO.UK
OR MARTIN LEWIS

I keep getting calls and when I answer they hang up.  Its annoying.  If it is anything to do with PPI they can forget it.

I never give my number when filling out or answering surveys, if a marketing survey demands either my telephone number or email address I leave it blank,if that means that I cannot complete the survey, too bad. I know only too well that doing so will result in unwanted sales calls. So how do you explain your company ringing my TPS registered number? I'm certain that no-one else has given the number out either!

Cold callers use phone books, electoral rolls and, of course buy our details from all sorts of people.  There is a vast black market in personal information.  If you ever get a pre recorded call and press 9 to have your number removed you have told that company that they have a name, address and "live" telephone number which they can sell.  Hundreds of people have complained that after using a comparison website, they have been bombarded with all sorts of calls.  It was found last year that employees in Indian call centres used by UK companies had been selling personal information.  That is just a few of the many ways they get our info.

This nummber calls on average 3-4 times a day with no speech heard. It is a bloody nuisance

Exactly! My number has found its way onto several lists used by cold callers. Not much I can do about this except refuse to have anything to do with cold callers, I won't even answer the phone if I don't recognize the number displayed.
There are a number of posts in this thread, clearly from ECMAS themselves claiming they are misunderstood and are good guys really. All I can say is that I'm very clear about this, when I do business with a company I implicitly give that company permission to call me, I'm happy with this. What I never do is allow them to pass my details on to "trusted third parties", this is, in effect a carte blanche for your details to be sold on to and used by anybody!

They've just called me' about an endowment policy I got rid of years ago and would not take no for an answer when I told him I wasn't interested.   I had to get shirty before putting the phone down on him.
