02078909053 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02078909053 👆 is reported as a persistent market research caller that frequently contacts individuals despite them being registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) or having ex-directory numbers. Callers often speak rapidly and sometimes unclearly, request participation in surveys on various topics, and occasionally ask intrusive questions. Many users find the calls intrusive and disruptive, with some reporting repeated calls at inconvenient times and no option for easy removal from all databases. Complaints indicate that blocking or reporting to TPS does not guarantee cessation. It is advised to contact the company directly via their website's contact form, explicitly requesting removal of one’s details from all databases, as multiple operators may hold separate records.

Received a call right in the midst of the Corrie tram disaster episode! We've already signed up with the Telephone Preference Service, so we're definitely not keen on whatever nonsense the caller is rambling about.

The other evening, just around nine o'clock, we received a call, and lo and behold, it happened again today! They just hung up without uttering a word or leaving a message. It’s quite puzzling how on earth they managed to get hold of our old number!

I received a call from a market research company named TFK Truth for Knowledge, but I had no luck tracking them down online. They were conducting a survey related to salads, local concerns, and fitted kitchens. I think Dimes got the hang of it, as he mentioned: “Had another go at the call. We found it tricky to understand the chap, aside from him saying, ‘It's a quick survey that’ll only take five minutes, would you mind assisting us?’ I replied, ‘Sorry, can’t help with that,’ and hung up.” Cheers, Jon.

Had a call from this number earlier today but didn’t pick up. They didn’t leave a message, mind you. Just had another go at ringing us. Honestly, we couldn’t make head nor tail of what the chap was on about, except for something regarding a "survey that would only take five minutes" and asking if we could assist. I simply replied, "Apologies, but the number’s not familiar," then hung up promptly.

I answered the phone, but nobody was on the other end. It rang six times this afternoon!

Gave it a miss the first time it rang on a late Friday evening - just wasn’t up for it. Then, the next day at 11am, the phone buzzed again. It was them asking us to fill out a survey. We told them we were too busy and promptly hung up.

Received a call from this lot earlier. Sounded like they were conducting a survey. My other half was in the middle of giving them a piece of their mind for interrupting our precious time soaking up the rare sunshine in the garden with the kids, when they just abruptly ended the call! Unbelievable!

Absolutely, we received a call from this lot, and the person we spoke to had a very distinct foreign accent, possibly from Bangladesh. While they articulated their words quite well, they did tend to rush through their speech. I think they mentioned something about GSM, but it turned out to be purely market research or some kind of survey. We quickly told them we weren't interested, but before we could gather more details, the line went dead on us. In hindsight, perhaps we should've hung up first! I've also lodged a complaint with the TPS regarding the matter, but I can’t help but feel it's all a bit futile since these callers insist on getting information right away.

I found it rather difficult to follow her conversation. I let her know that we were swamped with things to do, and she asked if she could give us a call later. However, she mentioned that she could only ring us back during the weekend, which struck me as odd. I’m quite relieved to have stumbled upon your blogs about this! Rest assured, I won't be replying when she attempts to reach out again tomorrow!

I had a rather peculiar experience with these folks, who bombarded us with a plethora of rather pointless inquiries. It wasn't long before they slipped in a few intrusive ones, like asking for our postcode or how they managed to stumble upon our website. Quite the ruse, if you ask me! In response, we decided to entertain ourselves by answering their daft questions, such as whether we prefer to buy lettuce bagged or loose, while ignoring the more personal stuff. All said and done, it turned out to be a bit of a time sink, but at least we can take comfort in knowing that we didn’t divulge any sensitive information.

I struggled to comprehend what she was on about. I let them know we were quite tied up at the moment, yet she insisted on calling back. Oddly enough, she mentioned she could only get in touch with us over the weekend, not during the week. Fortunately, I found your articles really helpful in this situation. I won't respond when she calls back tomorrow!

Received a call from this number (on Sunday, January 16, 2010, at 7 PM), and as soon as we answered, there was nothing but silence on the other end. However, I could hear some faint background sounds coming through. We're ex-directory and registered with the Telephone Preference Service, so I’m quite irritated, to say the least!

As a market researcher, I was informed that the survey would take around ten minutes. However, just 28 seconds in, my baby started wailing, and I discovered that their cot was overflowing with sick. What a nightmare!

Received a call today, but we never answered it. When we finally checked, the voicemail was just a cacophony of background noise with an Indian chap jabbering away in his native tongue-utterly incomprehensible!

Had a rather bothersome call last night around eight o'clock. It was from a marketing outfit named GFKNOP. My partner answered and wasted no time in dispensing my usual retort: "We refuse to entertain unsolicited calls. I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service. Please purge my details from your records and kindly refrain from reaching out to me again." Surprisingly, they decided to ring again today at ten twenty in the morning! Seriously, what part of "DO NOT" is so challenging for these people to comprehend? I took a look at their website, GFKNOP.COM, and unleashed a few heated emails. I reckon it’ll probably fall on deaf ears, but honestly, what are you meant to do in these situations?

I've observed that this phone has been ringing persistently for about fifteen minutes now, and oddly enough, our computer's hard drive seems to be working overtime during all of this. We suspect there could be a connection between that and the incessant ringing. The inquiries being posed were quite peculiar, and there didn’t appear to be any background noise typically associated with call centres. It's all rather strange, isn't it?

Received a call from this number, and almost immediately the caller started rambling on about who they supposedly were. We asked how they managed to get our number, especially since we’re ex-directory and have signed up to avoid marketing calls. The caller claimed that the number was generated by a computer, and that they had the right to call ex-directory numbers. When we pointed out that they were likely breaking the law, she quickly said sorry and hung up. Any idea who they might be?

We chose not to respond since we weren’t familiar with the caller. It seems rather reminiscent of We Are Wise, doesn’t it?

I've received several calls from this number over the past few days, and I'm at a loss as to who they are. They never leave a message, which makes it even more puzzling.

Regrettably, the Telephone Preference Service doesn’t encompass calls for market research purposes. If you wish to put an end to these annoyances, I recommend visiting the GFK website and making use of their 'contact us' option. Be certain to specify that you want your information removed from EVERY one of their data records. This is crucial since various operators utilise distinct databases for their different surveys. If you don’t explicitly mention "ALL," there's a chance another team might reach out to you for yet another survey. I’ve personally taken this step with any market research firms that have contacted me, and thankfully, I've seen a significant reduction in their calls. Just a heads-up, if you ignore their calls, they will persist in trying to get through to you.
