08450304400

Called at lunchtime today didnt pick up the phone, left no message.  
I see from previous reports this is Powergen, we are with TPS and have never been with Powergen. Absolutely fedup with these calls

If you are already registered with the TPS, you should file a complaint about these jokers at:

http://complaints.tpsonline.org.uk/Consumer/

You can get their company details from:

http://www.hothouseenergy.co.uk/contact.php?s=energy

They also have a facebook page, on which you can hassle them back:

Look I work for a Telephone provider and have been in telecommunications for over 30 years and this is simply impossible.....   if you press 9 an automated system can register that you responded and therefore its worth pestering you, but thats all PERIOD !

Its simply not possible for you to pay for a recieved call (execpet reverse charge).  I do wish people trying to be helpful would stop perpetuating these myths.

Not sure i would do that, as i wouldnt want them to have more info about me... and when you complain via TPS they pass on ALL your information to the company so they can investigate... no win situation

Called today by this number. Thought I had number blocker on phone. My phone is ex directory. Couldn't use it for about 15min.

i have a better idea do not phone any 08 numbers why pay someone you dont know to get them off your back

Just had a call from this number, line dead as I answered.

Forgot to say (to add to my above post) we are on TPS as well.

curved air market research called me? IM TPS and hate these calls, im trying to run a business and they keep bloody calling my business number blocking ligitamate (typo) calls, bet the MD would be pissed of if i did the same to his business number

Phone rang at 17:27 today didn't recognise the No: 08450304400, picked up and heard the delay and click of an automated voice "hello this is market research....."  I put down immediately, it didn't ring again but I didn't use the phone after so I don't know if they kept on the line.  We are also with the TPS.

This is a complete waste of my time - thye call at least 3 times a day and i press 9 to opt out but it makes no difference

Won't stop cold calling me.
Won't say who they are from , asks for a fictious name
requests personal information.

Apparently Curved Air Marketing Solutions performing Market Research and Market Research Surveys are not covered by Telephone Preference Service.

I've opted out via their website

Could you tell me, who is calling from this number, as they dont leave a message

do not press 9 at anytime during this call , you will be transfered to a high premiun number
which you will have to pay when you get your next phone bill, you have been conned !!

These people made an unsolicited call to my phone number in the UK. My number is a Skype number and is not published or associated with a physical address. I believe they are using a random number call dialer.

Received an automated call yesterday but just cut it off, checked on here and then emailed the Hot House Energy Company to complain, they passed my complaint to Curved Air http://www.curvedairmarketingsolutions.co.uk who conduct market research calls, they 'kindly' explained that market research calls are not covered by the TPS legislation which TPS have also confirmed 'their aim is to reduce live direct marketing calls' so no point in contacting them!!

This guy Marcus.Lashley@CurvedAirMS.co.uk is the IT Director of Curved Air, you can complain to him & get your number removed, also there is a Market Research Society, http://www.ico.gov.uk, I'm going to contact them to complain about automated calls and ask how these companies get our numbers.

"Have you ever purchased an electrical item *purely* becasue of its energy rating?" The question implies that all other purposes are secondary to energy rating, so that I would buy a low wattage light bulb in preference to a flat screen TV, since the light bulb has a better energy rating. What an utter garbage question. The question can only be answered "no", since if energy rating is the *sole* consideration then buying nothing at all gives the absolute best energy rating. Therefore "yes" is a self-conflicting answer.
I had this message on my VoIP telephone number, so not listed in any directory, and to my knowledge only given out to very few businesses. One such is a VW dealership in the West Midlands, and I would not be surprised at all if they had sold it on.
The 'Market Research' cop-out of TPS is a disgrace - clearly these people are doing no substantive market research (since the opening question has no degree of freedom in the answer). Who defines 'Market Research' for the purposes of circumventing TPS? Surely it can not be the idiots making the call - if it is I suspect we will be getting loads more 'market research' calls as more cowboys cotton on to the wheeze..."Hi, this is a market research call...". Surely it is not that simple, or is it?
Surely for  the "Marjet Research" get-out to be valid the organisation should be a paid-up member of a respected Market Research industry body, recognised and listed by the TPS. I find no such list.

I have a security system on my phone which usually stops any number which has not got a star behind it but this morning this call got through so I hung up immediately. Last time I received a call from this number was in March and they were selling medical appliances. This time I just heard energy efficiency press 1 so I hung up immediately. They are a nuisance and want stopping by Ofcom.
