Not so sure about this mob. They rang me claiming to be market research, but in among the questions were whether I lived alone (specifically that, not "how many people live at that address?"), whether I had a dog, whether I had electronic goods or jewellery on the premises and how much per month I spent on movies and music, and then they asked whether I wanted to be on their mailing list for other surveys, which would have required my handing over my street address as well. Could be straight-up, but could also be phishing for premises to rob. Caller ID was blank; they gave me this number quoted here, but that doesn't mean that was where they were calling from. I regard this as suspicious.

Repeated calls to my phone picked up by my answering machine. Several a day. My number is private and I am on the "Do Not Call Register". No message left. Called back and got a recorded message. Left a message that I am fed up with their nuisance calls and am going to report. ( question is. . . . who to??)

They called me back at 12pm and I spoke to their supervisor - she was called Rose I think.  They are a legitimate market research company that do surveys for the Government - I did participate in a travel survey about 2 years ago and have asked them to stop calling me but it falls on deaf ears.   Hopefully now I will be finally removed from their database.  

I explained politely, that 9am on a Saturday morning is incredibly intrusive for some people - I'm a shift-worker - and they NEVER leave a message.  Also could hear the initial telemarketer in the background saying 'this one is swearing!'  Well, not surprising when you've only had 3 hours sleep!

Had repeated missed calls from this number.Finally managed to answer the call today - it was a market research company (I forget the name) following up on behalf of my previous health provider to find out reasons why I had changed provider.Were quite friendly and gave me the option of whether I wanted to do the survey or not.Pretty harmless it would seem.

Answered a call from this number and they hung up as soon as I answered. I could hear people talking in the background and it sounded like it might be a call centre. Very frustrating!
