01248700702 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01248700702 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance and likely originating from overseas call centres, primarily using an Indian or Asian accent to conduct unsolicited survey or opinion research calls. Call recipients frequently mention repeated daily calls, silence or abrupt hang-ups when answered, and refusal by callers to respect the Telephone Preference Service. Many describe aggressive or evasive behaviour when refused participation, with some calls increasingly intrusive, occurring outside acceptable hours. The calls cause distress due to privacy concerns and potential misuse of personal information. Effective deterrents include blocking the number, using call-filtering devices like BT Call Guardian, and not engaging with callers. Visitors are advised to remain cautious, avoid sharing information, and report these calls through official channels to help combat this ongoing issue.
Reports on phone number 01248700702
10 yearsAnswered the phone without saying anything and the person just hung up straight away. Its the second time Ive got a call like this in a week.11 yearsI just got a strange call from this number and it was proper unsettling. The woman on the other end kept laughing like it was some kind of prank. At first, I thought she was messing about, but then it got serious. When I told her she must have the wrong number, she insisted she didn’t and even claimed she could see me through a camera she supposedly installed in my home. I ended the call sharpish. I get loads of annoying calls, but nothing quite as creepy as that before.11 yearsGot a missed call today, so I rang back only to catch a rushed message. They said something about being busy, but couldn’t quite make out the company’s name. Pretty confusing!11 yearsThey keep ringing me, and whenever I ask to talk to a manager, the person either claims they are the manager or just ends the call. We've asked them multiple times to remove us from their list - they go quiet for a few weeks, then sure enough, they’re back on the phone. Honestly, it's getting really frustrating. I’ve tried everything I can think of, from ignoring the calls to telling them nobody lives here anymore. But it’s like they just don’t listen.11 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent, asking to double check my address info and stuff. I told him his call was now with the “cold caller investigation unit” and he needed to stay put and not move from his desk while they traced the call and sorted the legal stuff out. There was a bit of silence then he just hung up! My approach with these idiots is just to mess with them a bit. Tried similar thing a few weeks back and the caller actually said sorry, claiming it was their first time ringing. Wonder if he’s still waiting for the cops to show up?11 yearsWhen I answered the phone and gave my number, there was complete silence at the other end, then a robotic lady's voice simply said 'Goodbye'. I'm really fed up with these calls, they've happened to me quite a few times before. Such a waste of my time!11 yearsGot a ring on my home phone from this number around 11.40am on 5th November 2015. When I picked up, some lady’s voice played, seemed like a recording, and all she said was "Goodbye". Really frustrating and just a total waste of my time. Caller: Unknown.Caller11 yearsThey keep ringing me but I’ve got BT Guardian set up that makes them say who they are. Of course, they never do, so the phone just doesn’t ring. Thank goodness for that!BT Guardian11 yearsits so annoying getting loads of calls like this all day, its really starting to annoy me big time11 yearsI picked up a BT phone with Call Guardian, and since then, no pesky telemarketers have bothered me. It’s been movie! All those annoying calls just don’t get through anymore. Really glad I got it!Call Guardian11 yearsEven though we're on the telephone preference list, I keep getting loads of annoying calls. Some bloke phoned and I told him I wasn’t interested in sales calls. He just said good morning, gave his name and asked how I was, but when I repeated that I hoped it wasn't a sales call, he just hung up. How on earth do you stop these people? Properly ticked off that he called before 9.30 on a Saturday, woke the whole family up! I should probably just leave the phone off the hook overnight. Definitely not the best way to kick off the weekend.Telephone Preference Service11 yearsI get about six silent calls each day, and I never answer or talk when I do pick up, usually they just say goodbye and hang up. I also get these dead silent calls from a withheld number which I reckon is from the same lot. I've put my number on the TPS and it’s ex-directory, so I’d really like to find out who’s sold it to these lot so I can make them pay for me having to change my number!Telephone Preference Service11 yearsThis number rings about 3-5 times daily for me. If you fancy messing with’em a bit, just respond in a foreign language - they usually don’t hang about after that.11 yearsGot a call from a blocked number that was clearly automated. As soon as I said hello, a robotic woman’s voice just said "bye" and cut off. I ended the call quicker this time - wish I had a way to catch these annoying callers.11 yearsI got a call from this number and when I asked who it was, the woman just said “Canvas”. I mentioned that I’m on the Telephone Preference Service list but she said that didn’t make a difference as she was ringing to get my opinion. I told her I wasn’t interested in chatting and she snapped “Why not?!” I just said “I don’t want to, thanks, goodbye” and hung up. She sounded pretty annoyed, and honestly, I never asked to be called.CanvasTelephone Preference Service11 yearsI get calls from this number all the time. I’ve started just ignoring my landline and using 1471 to check who’s calling, and it’s this one again and again. They even ring after 9pm, which I thought was against the law? On Saturday 3rd October by midday it had already rung me three times. Sometimes they’re not even showing any caller ID, so maybe it’s someone else pretending or another round of scammers?11 yearsEvery time I answer, I don’t get a real person, just some recorded voice saying goodbye. It’s so annoying how they keep ringing!11 yearsI picked up the phone and didn’t say anything, then a recorded voice just said goodbye and the line went dead.11 yearsGot a call from some asian bloke named ‘adam’ from canvas opinion, trying to snag 2 minutes of my time - and this was the 8th time in just 2 days. Proper annoying!AdamCanvas Opinion11 yearsGot four calls up to now. Told the last person that everyone in the family had gone off and I was just the cleaner.11 yearsThey keep ringing me after 7.45 pm, like 5 times every evening, but I never pick up. The ID just says unknown number.11 yearsGot a couple of Indian ladies trying to push solar panel deals on me.India11 yearsIf you get a phone call like this, it’s best not to say anything straight away. The voice-recognition tech they use only really kicks in once it hears you speak, and that’s when they start firing questions at you. Often, their system is auto-dialling a bunch of numbers at once, so just picking up won’t always trigger it, only your voice will. What I do to mess with them is keep quiet, then leave the phone off the hook. In some call centres, that actually blocks their line from making more calls until you hang up, so you can turn the situation around on these nuisance callers.11 yearsGot a call from this number earlier - some guy with an Asian accent wanting me to take part in a survey. It was the tenth time I’d got called today, so I just declined, like usual. Tried calling back and got a fast-played answerphone message from a firm called 'Canvas Opinion Research' or something like that. The message kept looping, so no chance to talk to a person. According to Google, the area code points to Bangor, but I reckon that’s just part of the phone system - my guess is the call came from abroad.Canvas Opinion ResearchBangor11 yearsGot two calls today, one at 6.08 and another at 10.58. Also got a call last Thursday. I usually don’t pick up during the day, and seems like that’s cutting down on the number of calls I get.11 yearsjon this indian guy is such a nuisance lol, his number is on the TPS list too. how do they even get hold of my info?JonTelephone Preference11 yearsI usually tell cold callers that I offer free Bible study sessions wherever folks are, then ask if they’d like to try one. After that, I politely request they keep the phone available for those interested in joining a study. Most times, they’re fine with it.11 yearsNo ID showing, keeps cutting the call off.11 yearsThey phone me every single day now, and honestly, I'm starting to get a bit fed up with it!!!!!!11 yearsSome bloke named Shaun from India just hung up on me really rude when I said I wasn’t interested.Shaun11 yearsLoads of calls from this number lately. Finally said yes today to have solar panels installed at my place. They told me an expert will ring me up tomorrow. I use a Skype number that connects me at my home in North East Thailand...SkypeNorth East Thailand11 yearsblimey, i had no idea there were loads of indian johns, michaels, and patricks out there!!! all they do is bother you nonstop!JohnMichaelPatrickIndia11 yearsThis number has called me a couple of times, mostly when I’m out, but it got me tonight. A guy with an Indian or Pakistani accent asked if I had 2 minutes for some survey questions. I said I was busy and ended the call.11 years01248700702 keeps ringing me with loads of quiet calls. Blocking the number and using TPS doesn't seem to stop them one bit. I also get a ton of calls from a private number, which I reckon is from the same lot, pushing white goods insurance and asking me to fill in surveys. They’re always Indian or Pakistani and just don’t accept a polite no.11 yearsWhy do these folks keep ringing? Got a spam call on Sunday, and no one even said a word. So bloody irritating!11 yearsEvery time I pick up, there's just silence on the other end and then the call drops.11 yearsThis number keeps ringing me loads, just like others have said here.11 yearsThey kept calling over and over again. When I finally picked up and stayed quiet, they didn’t say a word and just hung up. Really odd behaviour.11 yearsBeen stuck at home since 3.30pm and already got four calls from the same number, so I've had enough and blocked it. What really gets me is they never speak proper right away and always sound with that Indian accent. I really thought cold calling was banned by now.11 yearsI’m getting nearly a dozen calls every day. I told the person I’d relocated, wasn’t a homeowner and was just a private tenant out of work at a different place - not sure if that’ll stop them!11 yearsSick of getting like 6 calls every single day.11 yearsThis number rang me at about 7:19 in the evening, just as I was switching over shifts with my sister to care for our 88-year-old mum, who suffers from Alzheimer’s. I didn’t have a moment to chat with the woman on the line and quickly ended the call. Totally an annoying call! Definitely the last thing my mum or I need. I’m stumped as to how they even got hold of our number since we’re supposed to be unlisted.11 yearsI’m getting called like twice every day, and they keep saying they haven’t rung me before, that their system won’t let them call twice. Well, let me tell you ‘canvas opinion’, your system defo lets it happen. You’re really annoying, won’t accept a no for an answer, just going on and on with the chat.Canvas Opinion11 yearsIt's one of those survey firms again. Honestly, get lost! Just today, I got called twice by the same Indian lady, then two Indian blokes, all saying their names were John or Mark - yeah, sure. I asked them both times what the call was about and pretended I wasn’t the homeowner, said I was stuck on some remote desert island for ages and to not ring me ever again. Fingers crossed it works!JohnMark11 yearsI picked up a BT8500 Call Guardian handset from Tesco for about £60, and honestly, it's been a game changer. I've not had any annoying spam calls in over a year now. You can find them cheaper online too if you look around. Definitely a good buy!Tesco11 yearsI’ve blocked this number on my phone but it still manages to call me constantly.11 yearsGot another call about some survey thing. Just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.11 yearsI got a call from an Asian lady who wanted a couple minutes of my time. I just said, “No you can’t,” and she kinda gasped before hanging up.11 yearsGot a call from a bloke named Alex with an accent, saying he's doing an opinion poll. I told him nicely I wasn’t interested, but he insisted I had to take part. When I mentioned the number was on the TPS list, he just said that doesn’t count because it’s canvassing.AlexTelephone Preference Service11 yearsThis number has been calling me nearly 6 times every day. The callers usually sound Asian, sometimes a bloke, sometimes a lass. They say they’re doing a quick survey that only takes a couple of minutes. I say no thanks, but they just keep going anyway, so I end up putting the phone down. I’ve stopped picking up now and just check who called after the ring stops using 1471.11 yearsThey keep on ringing my phone non-stop. I don't pick up as I don’t have caller ID and really don't want it either. This means I can't just answer straight away, so I have to dial 1471 first to see who's been calling, then decide if I wanna ring back. It's a proper hassle.11 yearsi run a furniture store and was looking to make a big order, but when we started discussing specifics he claimed the line was rubbish and asked me to ring him back, definitely sounded like a pricey premium rate number to me.11 yearsSuch a hassle!!11 yearsKeeps ringing non stop nonstop annoying me all day long11 yearsLoads of calls from this number and a few others kept buzzing my phone like all day. Got myself a BT8500 phone and honestly, it’s a game changer. Now, anyone trying to ring has to press # before the call connects, and usually they just give up. For the record, I’m not affiliated with BT or anything, just sick of the endless ringing.BT11 yearsFor the past few weeks, this number has been ringing me around two or three times each day. Whenever I answer, there's silence on the other end. Could someone please tell me what actions I should take next?11 yearsThis number keeps calling me over and over, sometimes like 10 times daily, but when I pick up, there's no one on the line. It's really annoying!11 yearshow come they got my name and phone number? I’m signed up with tps but seems like it’s not really helping much.Telephone Preference Service11 yearsReceived a call out of the blue with no warning.11 yearsReally hoping they just sod off for good.11 yearsGot a call from some Asian or Indian lady looking for my aunt, but she only used her second name. I told her she’d got the wrong person. Then she asked me what my second name was, which felt a bit odd, so I just cut the call. The number looked like it was from Bangor, I think.Bangor11 yearsI received a missed call from this number earlier today, 01248700702, and I'm rather intrigued about who’s behind it. I’m left wondering what they’re after and why they decided to ring me!11 yearsJust got a ring from this number a bit earlier. A woman with an Indian accent called, asking for me by name and said she was from something like Canvas Opinion. She wanted to do a quick Q&A, said it wouldn't take long. I joked back that my phone consults cost £50 an hour, or any part of it, and asked how she intended to pay. She just disconnected straight away! Looks like my £50 has vanished :-(Canvas11 yearsJust got a call from a lady with an Asian accent claiming to be from "Canvas Opinion" - don’t think that firm even exists. Said she was doing a survey, but I told her no thanks, we don't take surveys from strangers since they usually end up selling your info to companies trying to push adverts later. She got pretty defensive saying that wasn’t true. I ended the call and blocked the number straight away. This kinda thing is how people fall victim to identity theft, so watch out and don’t get tricked.Canvas11 yearsI saved this number in my contacts as annoying, so whenever they ring me, I can tell straight away and just hang up or ignore the call.11 yearsGot a call from a really rude guy with an Indian accent. He wanted to speak to my mum. When I said she wasn’t here right now, he asked if I was family, then just cut the line before I could even find out who he was!11 yearsCan someone please block this number? They keep calling me like 40 times every single week, babbling on about a woman I have no clue about and some house that isn’t mine! It’s driving me mad!11 yearsUsed my BT call guardian to block it straight away then just blocked it for good!Guardian11 yearsGot four calls in just two days from someone abroad wanting me to take part in a survey. It’s pretty scary they have my name, number, and address, even though I’m registered with the TPS! Being a pensioner, I find it quite disturbing that they seem to know so much about me. What can we actually do to stop this? Is anyone out there doing something to tackle it? How on earth do folk overseas get hold of our private info? It really does unsettle me!!TPS11 yearsGot a call today. Not sure if it's the first time but definitely haven't answered. Decided to check the number with a reverse lookup. I've never dealt with this firm before, never done surveys over the phone or internet. I'm ex-directory, on the edited electoral roll and signed up to TPS, so how did they even get my number? What else can I do to stop these annoying random calls?Telephone Preference Service11 yearsSome bloke calling himself ‘Paul’, sounded like he wasn’t from around here, tried to get me to do some kind of lifestyle survey. His English was so rough I could barely catch a word! I asked him what the call was about, at least seven times, but all he did was babble on about third-party partners or something. Whenever I tried to ask something back, he just kept saying stuff like “Oh okay, so you’re fine with us sharing your details with third parties yes? Belly good.” Honestly, the worst customer service I’ve ever had. I ended the call by telling him to jog on in Arabic and hung up. Been a full day and no sign of him or those calls again. Happy days!PaulIndia11 yearsthey call me two times a day every day except sunday, im thinkin about gettin a whistle to see how they react to that lol11 yearsGot a call from an Asian lady asking for someone who's never lived at my address. Been here for over 50 years and I know the only former owner's name. She started firing questions to check if I was who I said I was. When I mentioned I’m on the telephone preference service, she just hung up on me.11 yearsI'm proper fed up with this rubbish 😡😡😡11 yearsSuch a hassle!11 yearsOn 25th May 2015, a Bank Holiday Monday, at about 2.37pm, I got a call from an Asian lady doing a survey and calling me by my name. These foreign call centres ring me about 9 or 10 times every week without fail. There really should be a way to stop them all.11 yearsGot a call about some consumer survey. They wouldn’t listen when I said I’m not interested, and it’s a bit unsettling they already seem to know my address and other stuff.12 yearsI dialed back but added 141 before the number, and some foreign bloke picked up. It turned out to be some survey or something. I just told him where to stick it!12 yearsThis number keeps ringing me about 4 or 5 times every single day. When I answer, I press 7726 during the call which means it's being reported. I usually tell them to wait and then leave them on hold long enough till they decide to hang up. At least I’m giving them a taste of their own medicine by wasting their time as well.12 yearsGot a call from a woman with an accent, saying she really valued --------, but that was about the limit before I hung up!12 yearsFor the past three evenings, this number has been calling me, and today it rang twice back to back around dinner time. I just ignored it each time.12 yearsGot a call from someone in India asking me to do a survey. DON'T GET INVOLVED. They end up selling your info and you’ll be bombarded with loads of calls afterwards.India12 yearsSomeone called asking for Mr (my first name) then just dropped the phone when I asked who they were.12 yearsGot two calls earlier today and honestly, I'm starting to get really annoyed with it all.12 yearsGot a call from an Indian bloke who wanted to chat about some car crash or whatever. I just ended the call straight away. Still, the nuisance calls keep rolling in from loads of other numbers.12 yearsGot a call from an Indian call centre doing one of those 'Lifestyle' surveys - honestly, it’s just a sneaky way to bombard you with marketing calls for ages. Best to just block and forget, they’ll stop bothering after a while.12 yearsWhenever I try to answer, there’s just silence on the other end.12 yearsI told my phone company about it but no one seemed to do anything, I'm proper fed up now.12 yearsThey've rung me a couple of times today already, and honestly, I'm fed up with it. This has got to end immediately.12 yearsI’m on the TPS list but this number still gave me a ring. Any idea who it could be?Submit Your Own Report (01248 700702)
