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.

Answered 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.

I 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.

They 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.

Got 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?

When 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!

Got 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.

Even 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.

I 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!

I 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.

I 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?

If 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.

Got 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.

01248700702 keeps ringing me with loads of quiet calls. Blocking the number and using TPS doesn't seem to stop them one bit.

It'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.

This 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.

They 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.

Just 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.

Some 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!
