Reports on phone number 01315070179
6 monthsGot a call from some dodgy AI, kept asking if I was the MD or something. Definitely felt like a scam to me.6 monthsA 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.LouiseData Protection6 monthsGot 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.IpsosDepartment for Science & Innovation7 monthsKept 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.7 monthsGot 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.Frazer7 monthsGot 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.7 monthsCheck 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!!7 monthsI picked up but there was nothing but quiet on the line. I've gone ahead and blocked the number.7 monthsGot 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.IPSOSHMRC7 monthsGot 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!IPSOSHMRC7 monthsIt came up as maybe spam, so I just ignored it, then went ahead and blocked the number before deleting it.7 monthsThey called asking about data protection, but I just ended the call straight away.7 monthsHad 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.OwenGovernment Dept of Science & InnovationTelephone Preference Service7 monthsSomeone phoned saying they were from the government, something about environmental science. It didn’t feel right at all, seemed pretty sketchy to me.8 monthsGot a call nearly 7 in the evening from someone saying they were from HMRC about tax returns. It really smelt like a total scam.HMRC8 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be HMRC doing a survey - sounded fishy right away. I told them to send me something in writing instead, just to be safe. Definitely a scam, no doubt about it.HMRC8 monthsHave no clue who was callin, so I looked them up here and just went ahead and blocked the number.8 monthsThey kept ringing me up, claiming they were from HMRC.HMRC9 monthsGot a call claiming to be from HMRC but wasn’t expecting it. I just said if it was anything serious, they should send me a letter instead since I don’t deal with unexpected calls.HMRC9 monthsSomeone called claiming to be from HMRC but just ended the call without saying much.HMRC9 monthsI got a call from someone saying they were with HMRC - just don’t bother, ended it straight away!HMRC9 monthsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from HMRC, wanted me to give him my details. Seemed dodgy to me, so I just hung up. Definitely a scammer trying to get info.HMRC9 monthsSomebody rang up pretending they were from HMRC.HMRC9 monthsGot a call from someone pretending they were from HMRC, kept asking for the person in charge of taxes.HMRC9 monthsI just got a call from someone acting like they were from HMRC - what a joke!HMRC9 monthsGot a call about a survey today.9 monthsGot another call this week from someone saying they were from HMRC, that’s the second one in a fortnight!HMRC10 monthsSaid they were from HMRC.HMRC1 yearI 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.1 yearThere 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.Ipsos1 yearGot 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.1 yearNope. 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.Scotland2 yearsThis number keeps ringing me non stop. They say it's some survey thing but it's super annoying how rude and pushy they are. They just don’t accept a simple no.2 yearsGot 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.Ipsos Market ResearchHome OfficeGov. uk2 yearsSomeone called claiming to be from Ipsos, saying it was for a government survey or something, and they wanted to speak to a finance head or senior manager. Not really sure if it was genuine or a scam.Ipsos2 yearsI kept requesting to speak with the manager, but the person they mentioned has actually been passed away for over three years! Definitely a scam call, very dodgy and not to be trusted. Make sure you block this number if you can.2 yearsThey rang asking for my brother who used to be a director but sadly died like 18 months ago. When I told them this, they just hung up on me. Proper rude and horrible behaviour!2 yearsHe called me claiming to be from the Home Office doing some kind of fraud survey. He keeps ringing me, but I’ve got this weird feeling it might be a scam!Home Office2 yearsIgnored the call and there was no voicemail left, so I’m guessing it was just some telemarketer or a scam.2 yearsIpsos Mori.
