I have been receiving multiple calls from this phone number throughout the day, and it is truly getting on my nerves! The continuous harassment is extremely bothersome.

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.

I keep blocking this phone number from Manchester, but they just call me using a slightly different number each time. They call me every single day. Although I have never answered the call, it has become extremely irritating!

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.

I recently received a phone call from an unknown number. I didn't really think before answering because the caller knew about the course I had attended. It took me a while to realize that it was odd, so I decided to look it up here. During the call, they asked about the interpreting course I had taken, which was fine. However, they then asked about my job, which I chose to lie about as I don't think that's anyone's business. Hopefully, this was just an honest survey and nothing more concerning.

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??

I received a phone call regarding a course that my 69-year-old mother was supposed to have taken, as I mentioned in a previous comment. However, I informed the caller that he had mistakenly dialed the wrong number. Surprisingly, he called again two days later and spoke to my mom, inquiring about her internet usage and how comfortable she was using it. This incident has raised concerns, and now we are relaying this information to the police.

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.

These individuals have now called for the third time in just three days. The first call came from a Swindon number, then earlier today they withheld their number, and just five minutes ago at 6:20 pm, they dialed from a Manchester number. It's always the same woman calling, who continues to refuse to provide her name. This repeated annoyance needs to be addressed immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yesterday, I received a call from a number supposedly representing Sunderland College, even though the actual number belonged to Manchester. I was questioned about why I had personally left the class I had previously attended. Additionally, they inquired about whether I was currently employed or taking care of children. They also asked if I had any interest in enrolling in a different course.

I might have believed this if the number showed up as Manchester College. However, since it appears as Walsall and Sheffield College, it seems suspicious.

No need to be concerned, everyone. I reached out to Walsall College earlier and discovered that the incoming call was actually from one of their affiliated companies. They use this method to keep track of students and ensure they are not involved in any wrongdoing.

Since yesterday, I have been receiving constant phone calls on both my personal mobile and home phone from individuals who claim to be from Walsall College. What's quite frustrating is that they know not only my full name but also my nickname. They persistently demand information about my course, current employment status, and working hours. Honestly, it feels like a total scam.

Today, someone from Walsall College called me. My tutor had instructed me to complete a survey for the college, so I assume it was related to that. The person on the call inquired about the courses I had taken and am currently pursuing. I didn't provide much information since I didn't have much confidence in her.
