Reports on phone number 01616762494
3 monthsThey rang me up again after about 4 days, asking to speak with the CEO. I've gone ahead and reported the number to the ICO.ICO3 monthsThat number, 01616 762494, gave my phone a ring and the bloke was after the CEO, saying he was from DTS and mentioned some competition. When I tried to get details, he said he couldn’t chat with me, only the CEO. Since we’re on the TPS list, I reported it to the ICO. Seems like they’re switching up their approach to get through to someone, so watch out for that.DTSTPSICO4 monthsAnnoying call, I just ended up blocking the number.4 monthsThis woman called asking specifically for our Managing Director, but when I said he wasn’t available, she wanted an email. I gave her the general one and no sooner had I done that, she just hung up without even saying goodbye. Quite rude!4 monthsTried to get hold of our MD but the person on the other end was really short with me. Didn’t bother leaving any message and just promised to ring back. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now!4 monthsThis woman keeps ringing up asking for our manager, saying she’s carrying out some market research. I’ve put a stop to three separate 0161 numbers she’s used, but just when you think it’s stopped, a few days later you get a silent call. Then she starts again, this time using another 0161 number. It’s proper annoying!4 monthsAbout five days back someone rang wanting to speak to the CEO. I told them she wasnt in and I’ll keep saying that until they get the message and stop ringing. Our number's on the TPS list, so they really shouldn’t be bothering us at all.TPS5 monthsLike some others mentioned, this woman sounded quite unpolite and unprofessional when she rang up looking for the CEO. She didn’t explain anything till I questioned her and then said it was some survey for HMRC. Just another annoying call.HMRC5 monthsGot a call from a woman insisting I should do a government survey. When I told her I wasn’t interested, she kinda chuckled like I was being silly. Pretty rude if you ask me.5 monthsGot a call on our office number 01616 762494 from someone saying they were from HMRC, wanted to speak to the CEO to verify if our pricing was competitive. When I asked what it was about, they didn’t give much info. Told them the CEO wasn’t about. Later I looked up the number here and found out it’s a SCAM. Beware!HMRC5 monthsSome woman rang up saying she was doing some kind of government survey, but wouldn’t say what department she was from. She was really insistent and refused to say how she even got my phone number. Felt like she was trying to dig out my personal details for some shady reason.5 monthsGot a call from some market research lot, complete waste of my time tbh.

So I just went ahead and blocked the number.8 monthsGot a call from a Manchester number, this woman said she was from some survey firm working for Yorkshire Water. She was asking for our previous manager who’s no longer here. I suggested she speak to another branch of ours that handles these queries but she insisted the person must be at our actual office. I gave her a mate’s name who wasn’t around and told her to call again. Not really sure if it was genuine or just some dodgy scam.ManchesterYorkshire Water8 monthsSomeone rang me saying they were conducting a survey for Yorkshire Water, but since we’re covered by Severn Trent, I reckon it’s a scam.Yorkshire WaterSevern Trent8 monthsThey called me again, but I ignored it.
