Even if this is a 'legit' market research co,.. They have continually called me and I have now blocked their number. I did not sign up for any market research and I resent the intrusion, This kind of company should NOT be exempt from TPS!
It's acyually not illegal to cold call, especially if you are not selling anything and it's for pure market research. YDS are a member of the Martket Research Society and go by their code of conduct. They are also EXEMPT from the TPS. What they are doing IS NOT ILLEGAL
Various market research that go on forever at least 30 minutes of which most questions are irrelevant to me. I blocked the number but from the phone screen it seems they still try to ring me at least 3 times a day, 7 days a week!
This is a survey company under the power of YonderConsulting based in London - XXXXX them off and get your own back by calling them directly on +44 (0) 20 7253 XXXX and tell us of their feelings on harrasment!
18 missed calls on my blocked calls list today I answered by accident, Could not really understand the man but he said 90 second survey - 8 painful minutes in I was asked personal questions so I apologetically cut the call and blocked the number.
Called my landline, I said don't ever call me again, With half a dozen expletives, Nothing winds me up more than unsolicited phone callers wanting information, If you don't want to be abused, Don't call me. Seems to work
Very dodgy operation called asked me to take part in a survey. I asked how they had got my details they said that the number was randomly generated which is illegal. I hung up then blocked number. Call sounds to be coming from UK these people should be closed down
Checked my landline Today and there was 11 missed calls from this number I last checked it 5 days ago and cleared missed calls so must have called at least twice a day but I don't answer my landline because anyone who knows me calls my mobile they are definitely harassing if they call twice a day or more
Very personal questions interspersed with general questions on gambling and sports interests. Will most likely use data to target those interested in gambling so they can directly scam them. You can opt out of any questions. I recommend you just put down the phone.
Just been called and didn’t leave message on answer machine so checked on here... I’m also ex directory and TPS registered... Fed up with all the calls 😡
Polite man said he was from Populous data solutions and they were conducting a survey on gambling. Generic type non attributable questions on gambling habits.
Rang 3 days ago regarding some sort of survey. Told them I'm busy right now but they have rang everyday since. Not answered again but the number is blocked after reading these reviews, Obviously just wasting peoples time
Missed this call again. Never give out landline so must be autonomous calling. Have had Poplus call before so seen as others have said this is them I’d back that up.
Called yesterday, When asked how they got my number the man said it was computerised random dialling and he was doing a Populus poll. He was very apologetic when I said I have TPS and hung up.
Rang my mobile which is TPS registered whilst I was busy at work - was Populus wanting to do research market. Sounded quite a bossy lady. I just said No I need to focus when I am at work. Will report to ICO, They may be expempt from TPS but its rather sneaky how they have got round this. So, The more complaints TPS receive - its possible they might grow some gon*ds and change this.
Very polite gentleman asking questions regarding how I withdraw or spend cash, No personal info and very generalised questions and answers. Only info he wanted which was related to me personally was first part of my postcode. I had option to decline answering any questions I wasn’t comfortable with. Populous data solutions
Rang and asked me to complete a survey, Told them I was not interested and not to ring again. Obviously did not listen to me as they are still ringing. Nuisance caller.
Wanted me to do a survey. I declined and asked why they were ringing me as am TPS registered. Said they were compliant and would run through their GDPR with me. I said I don’t think it works like that. I will report to ICO but doubt they have the cojones to do anything about it
Called said hello and then cut themselves off! Looked them up and thanks to everyone have now blocked the caller
Did not tell me what it is about so cannot comment on what sort of call it was
