I get calls from this number multiple times daily, like three or four times, really annoying!

This survey is genuine. After students finish their courses, the government asks colleges to check what they’re doing next - whether they're working, studying further, or something else. This helps make sure that courses are useful and public funds are spent properly. Lots of colleges hire this firm (J2 Research) to gather that info for them. It’s totally safe and your details won’t be passed on to third parties. It's definitely worth giving your answers a moment of your time.

Got a call from a guy named Sean who said he’s ringing from some research firm called J2, saying they were doing a survey for Warrington College. I rang up the college myself tho, and they straight up said they’ve got no ties to J2 and would never hand over their students’ info to anyone like that.

This Manchester number keeps finding new ways to ring me - every time I block one, another with a similar ending pops up. They call daily and even tho I never pick up, it’s so annoying!

Got a call from some company claiming to be Barley Associates, which I’d done some courses with before. They said it was some kind of survey but it didn’t sound right at all. Asked me if I still worked at the same place and if I was in the same role, but I kept my answers pretty vague. Honestly, I don’t trust them one bit after reading the stuff here. Just block this number, seriously.

Got a call from this number earlier and I wasn’t really paying much attention when I picked up, they mentioned the course I’d done so it caught me off guard. Only after I ended the call did I find it a bit odd and decided to check it out here. They asked some questions about the interpreting course I’d attended, which was okay, but then they started probing about my job. I just made something up there, didn’t feel like sharing that info. Fingers crossed it’s just some genuine survey.

Got calls at the most random hours like 4 in the morning, 9 at night, and even close to midnight like 11:45pm. They keep asking about some college course I never did and how much I earn. I’ve just blocked the number now.

Keep getting calls from this number and loads of other 016 codes. It’s so frustrating coz I don’t know anyone from Manchester. I reckon my info’s been handed around after I applied for some courses and apprenticeships. Got ’em blocked now.

It was a number from Manchester but the caller claimed to be from Coventry college, knew about my past qualifications and asked what I am studying now. Bit unsettling as the call came really late at night.

This number has called me twice now. It shows up as Manchester. I was curious so I picked up the first time. They said they were from Coventry College, said sorry for calling so late (it was nearly 8 in the evening) and wanted to ask about a course I finished last year. I told them I was eating, and they said they'd ring back later. More than a week passed and they called again. I didn’t pick up this time since it was about 7:30 PM again.

Some bloke from Manchester College called me, asking which college I’m at currently and why I didn’t go to Manchester College (I applied ages ago). I just told him it’s too far away for me, and that was the end of it??

Got a call about a course my mum, who’s 69, was meant to have completed (I mentioned this before). I told the bloke he’d dialled the wrong number. Then, two days later, he rang again and spoke straight to my mum, asking if she uses the internet and how good she is with it. I’m reporting all this to the police now.

Got a call about a course my mum, who’s 69, did at a nearby school in Birmingham. The number was from Manchester but the bloke sounded like he was from Newcastle. Looked up the number and it led me here. Seems a bit sketchy to me.

That last comment is total rubbish. There’s no chance my old college still has my mobile number after 20 years. Seems pretty fishy to me.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Chichester college about my daughter’s course she’d already completed. They kept asking how much she was earning now! I looked up the number using 1471 and it definitely wasn’t the college. I’ve let the college know about it.

Over the last three days I’ve had three calls from these lot. The first call came from a number in Swindon, the second was earlier today but they didn’t show their number, and then about five minutes ago around 6.20pm they rang again, this time from a Manchester number. The lady who keeps calling is the same each time and she still refuses to tell me her name. This is getting really annoying now, can something be done to sort this out? Cheers.

Got a call from this number just yesterday, they said they were ringing about Sunderland college but the number’s actually from Manchester. They asked me why I stopped going to a class I used to be in, also if I was working or taking care of kids now. Then they wanted to know if I was interested in signing up for any other course. Quite odd really!

They said they were from Manchester College, and I was about to trust it, but when the number popped up as Walsall and Sheffield College, it just felt a bit fishy to me. Definately seemed dodgy after that.

Hey folks, no need to stress. I got in touch with Walsall College earlier today, and it seems the number belongs to a firm they partner with. Apparently, this is a way for them to monitor students and make sure everything's above board.

Since yesterday, I've been getting calls on both my mobile and landline from someone saying they're from Walsall College. It's really creepy how they even know my real name and nickname. They keep pushing for info about my course, job, and work schedule - honestly, it feels like a total scam to me.

Got a call today from someone claiming to be from Walsall College. My tutor had asked me to complete a survey for them, so I guess it’s connected to that. They started asking which courses I’ve done and what I’m currently studying, but I wasn’t too sure, so I held back and didn’t give much info. Didn’t feel quite right, to be honest.

I’ve had three calls from this number where someone claiming to be from my college kept asking for personal info. Not sure if it’s legit, but it felt a bit off to me. I’d suggest being cautious and not sharing anything private just in case it’s a scam.
