Avoid this company at all costs! They claim to help with marketing and publishing but it's just a total scam. Don't fall for their tricks.

I've been getting incessant calls from this mysterious number.

I picked up the phone, and the woman on the other end inquired about the brand of tablet I owned. I replied that it was none of her concern. She claimed to be calling from Microsoft, to which I mentioned I had a plethora of budget options. Then, out of the blue, she called me a right numpty and hung up on me! Quite the cheeky exchange, if I do say so myself.

They call themselves self-publishing gurus but it’s all a load of rubbish. Total scam, watch out!

I received a call from someone stating he was John Barton, representing the British Poll Centre. He wanted me to participate in some sort of survey. I found the whole thing rather intrusive, so I ended the conversation and subsequently added that number to my block list.

Since I got no voicemail and don't recognise the number or anyone from Manchester, I've decided to just block it.

Got a call from some bloke with an accent, said he was John Barton from the British Poll Centre or something, sounded fishy as hell, so I just ended the call.

I saw they called me but when I tried ringing them back, it just said the number wasn’t valid. How does that add up? They managed to get through to me but I can't get through to them! Strange, right?

Sounds like one of those calls from a call centre in India! They keep switching up the number, so no use blocking them since it’s always a new one popping up.

It seems they're operating as some kind of survey service, but when I pressed them on why their number is flagged as possible spam by call screening apps, the person I spoke to got quite defensive. Their explanations were a load of drivel about numbers being created by blokes rather than machines. Quite rude, to be honest. They wouldn't divulge any information regarding how they procured my number or any legitimate survey identifiers. It really stinks of a dodgy operation, likely a scam using automated dialling systems.

I've come across these individuals on a particular site, and I must say, they portray themselves as specialists, yet they fleece students for substantial sums only to deliver subpar work. It's an absolute sham. What's worse, they refuse to issue any refunds despite their appalling service. Exercise caution if you're considering using their services. - caller: +44 1616603238
