3 yearsI’ve discovered that the entity in question is the "Opinion Research Services" over at https://www.ors.org.uk. They engage in conducting "research studies" for various local authorities, including councils, the police, and fire services. If you give them a ring, be sure to insist they remove your number from their list; otherwise, those incessant calls won’t cease anytime soon!Opinion Research Servicesors3 yearsWorking with Reading Council, my company conducts these surveys, so I can assure you that calls from this number are legit. If you're not interested in doing the survey, simply let the person who rings you know, and we’ll take your number off our list to stop any more calls. Thanks for your time!Reading CouncilORS3 yearsI received a call claiming to be from Reading Borough Council about a survey. They wanted to know my age group, gender, ethnicity, and where I live. Oddly enough, they said my postcode meant I wasn’t actually living in Reading. When I questioned this, they quickly apologised and blamed a technical glitch before hanging up. Really weird experience, quite baffling.Reading Borough CouncilReading3 yearsGot a call earlier, supposedly about a survey for Reading Borough Council. I mentioned I was expecting a call from them, and the guy just hung up on me.ReadingBoroughCouncil3 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be Tom, saying he was carrying out some sort of survey for Reading Borough Council. He wanted to know my age and postcode. Once he heard my postcode wasn’t in the area they were focusing on, he quickly said sorry and ended the call. Honestly, it felt a bit dodgy to me.TomReading Borough Council3 yearsI got calls from this number 3 times within a day. It was some bloke doing a survey. He confessed he got my number from a list they’d purchased, didn’t bother to look up the Telephone Preference Service first, and openly said he wasn’t going to check it at all. I’ve blocked the number and reported them to the ICO.Preference ServiceTPSSubmit Your Own Report (0118 321 9892)
