01212601002 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01212601002 👆 is reported as a persistent caller conducting government-related business surveys, primarily on behalf of departments like the Department for Business and Trade and regional authorities such as West Yorkshire Combined Authority. While the calls are generally legitimate market research efforts managed by BMG Research, many recipients find them intrusive due to repeated calls despite requests to stop. Callers often demand to speak with senior personnel and may exhibit pushy behaviour. Some users have questioned the calls' authenticity because of inconsistent caller information and refusal to accept callbacks. No scam evidence is confirmed, but caution is advised when sharing personal details, and blocking the number after declining participation is a common response. Overall, these calls aim to gather feedback from businesses but can be a source of frustration.

This isn’t some dodgy scam, it’s actually a survey group called BMG doing proper market research for different businesses and government bodies. Just let them know if you’re not interested, and that’s that.

Got another call from the same number, this time about a survey. The person who answered is Scottish, and the caller said they were from the Scottish government. But then, when they spoke to me later on the same line, they claimed to be from the Welsh government. Such a waste of time and totally pointless calls!

Got a call claiming to be from the Department for Business and Trade about a survey. They wanted to chat with our Director or CEO, which is odd because we’re not involved with them at all. I couldn’t connect them anyway, and they mentioned they wouldn’t accept a callback either. Honestly, it felt kinda fishy and like something not worth bothering the CEO about.

I got a call from someone claiming they were conducting a government survey and needed to ask some questions. They offered to email me a confirmation but I refused to give out my email.

A while back I got a call asking me to take part in a survey, and then not long after, I started getting calls from different firms pushing SEO services and the like. I decided to just say no from then on. Funny thing is, the person on the phone said they were from BMG Research, but when I checked on their site and put in the phone number, it came up as not belonging to them at all.

Honestly, this place is a nightmare. They won’t quit and keep ringing every day like it’s some kind of game. The woman on the other end sounds like she’s being made to call against her will. I was beginning to think I was alone in this, but after reading other people’s experiences, it’s clear this is a common problem. It’s baffling how this company is still allowed to operate without getting shut down. What a joke.

I don’t think it’s a scam, it’s actually a survey from the UK government aimed at small businesses. They just want to gather info on how you manage your money, property stuff, and buying things abroad.

This number keeps ringing up, claiming they’re doing a survey for the Government’s Business department and needing to chat with the business owner.

Some bloke called saying he was doing a survey for the government. I told him our company doesn’t really do surveys but he could always try sending an email to our general inbox. He then asked who I was, and I told him I work at reception. He tried to ask if I was authorised to make decisions like that. I just said, yeah, definitely I am!

Picked up the phone and was told it was someone from the government about business. I told her my boss isn’t here till next Monday and we don’t do surveys, so it’s pointless calling. She quite cheekily said, “That’s for him to decide, I’ll ring back on Monday.” Well, she’s got another thing coming ’cause only I ever answer the phone - so she’ll never be speaking to him, not now or ever! They’ve called me four times this past week alone, so I’m definitely reporting them to the MOJ for nuisance calls.

Got loads of calls today, really annoying, all saying they’re doing market research. I’m pretty sure it’s just automated dialling, so blocking won’t really work. If they ring a thousand numbers and only one person answers, they’ve done well - especially if they’re after bank info. I gave this one a polite but quick reply and they hung up straight away. Now I’ve put my answerphone on all the time. If it’s someone who genuinely wants to get hold of me, they can leave a message and maybe I’ll call back. Number’s blocked.
