Got a call from some dodgy AI, kept asking if I was the MD or something. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

A woman named Louise rang from a government department asking about Data Protection details. I told her that we don’t share any info over the phone. I suggested she send an email if she had a question.

Got a call from Ipsos for a survey linked to the Department for Science & Innovation asking if I was aware of data protection rules, where my info was saved, and what data I actually have. I told them everything’s handled by my mortgage network and it's all cloud-based, not on my personal devices, so I couldn’t really give much detail. They seemed a bit insistent though.

Kept ending the call over and over again, no matter how many times they dialled, I just hung up. It was the same thing nonstop, so I gave up answering and instantly hung up every time the phone rang. Honestly, after about the tenth ring it got really annoying to even pick up, so I repeatedly cut the call. This went on and on, with me refusing to engage, just clicking off the call as soon as the line connected. Felt like a loop of just hanging up again and again without listening to a single word.

Got a call from 0131 5070179, some bloke called Frazer said he was ringing about GDPR and Data Protection stuff, wanted to talk to someone about 'government regulations'. I told him all of that’s handled by our IT folks outside the company and he just said cheers and hung up. Felt dodgy to me, so there’s no way I was gonna put him through to anyone. I reckon it might’ve been IPSOS or something, but honestly these calls just irritate me - pointless and a right nuisance.

Got a call from some AI scam, pretty obvious it wasn’t legit. They kept going on about GDPR stuff and wanted to talk to someone about it. Total rubbish.

Check out the other comments for more info. We’ve never had anything in writing from them, so for all we know, they’re just taking the mick. We’re pretty sure they’re not legit and just scammers!!

I picked up but there was nothing but quiet on the line. I've gone ahead and blocked the number.

Got a call claiming to be from IPSOS, saying they were ringing for HMRC. This happens so often, like every week. We’ve told them countless times that our Directors don’t want to talk, but it doesn’t seem to matter. They just keep phoning back and won’t take no as an answer or realise nobody wants to chat to them. Proper annoying.

Got a call from a woman claiming to be with IPSOS, saying she was doing a business data survey for HMRC. She obviously knew my name but kept insisting I was a business, even though I told her I wasn’t. After a few questions, I just ended the call. Honestly, it’s so frustrating with all these annoying calls every single day, feels like everyone and their dog is trying to hassle you!

Had a call from someone claiming to be Owen at the Government Dept of Science & Innovation, talking about GDPR. They were quite pushy and didn’t like being told no. Since we're signed up with the Telephone Preference Service, I’m pretty sure they shouldn’t have been calling us at all.

I didn’t pick up and they didn’t bother leaving a voicemail, so I’m guessing it was either a spam call or some sort of telemarketing.

There was this Ipsos poll recently about the way criminal offences get dealt with and how they're punished. It was pretty interesting seeing what folks think about the justice system and if the punishments really fit the crimes. Made me wonder if things are really fair or if some punishments are too harsh or too soft.

Got a call the other day, turns out it was a genuine survey by the government. They use another company to collect the stats for them.

Nope. They claimed it was a survey about criminals in Scotland. When I asked for more details about who exactly and which companies they were linked to, they just said the line was too bad to talk and wouldn’t give any info.

Got a call from Ipsos Market Research, and it seems legit, not one of those dodgy scam calls. They’re working on behalf of the Home Office, doing some voluntary surveys about economic crime and fraud. If your business has dealt with anything like that, you can choose to share your experiences with them, but it’s completely up to you, no pressure at all. You can actually check it on the official Gov.uk website - it confirms they’re genuine and hired for this task. Just google it if you don’t believe me.
