I keep receiving calls from this number that I never pick up. I've even signed up with the Telephone Preference Service.

Got a call from this number just shy of 8 in the evening. The chap on the other end seemed to know my name and mentioned that I had reached out to Lloyds bank in Louth earlier this week. He was keen to find out if I’d had a natter with a member of their staff or conducted any sort of transactions at the counter. He didn’t reveal any specifics about my account, thankfully. Still, I wasn’t too pleased about being disturbed at such an hour, so I decided to end the conversation abruptly.

Received a call at precisely 5:54 PM from someone claiming to be from my bank (with a Nigerian accent). When I asked which bank, as I have several accounts, he just cut the line. It’s clearly a scam; I’d picked up a few tips on this from Holly and Phil on This Morning.

Received a call purporting to be from my bank. When I inquired about the number they called from, they became quite dodgy with their answers. I pressed them to confirm if they were from Barclays, but they remained tight-lipped. I decided to end the conversation after they mentioned it was being recorded for a voiceprint check. I'd definitely consider this suspicious behaviour.

I received a call from this number and it appeared to be from a gentleman with a Nigerian accent. Unfortunately, I found it quite difficult to comprehend what he was saying before he abruptly disconnected. As someone with a disability, it's quite a challenge for me to reach the telephone, and it’s incredibly upsetting to think it may have been a scam masquerading as a call from my bank. Wouldn’t it be great if we could get rid of such numbers entirely?

This particular number has been ringing my phone at least six times daily, without fail, for what feels like ages now. Thankfully, with the caller ID, I’ve been able to dodge their incessant calls.

I received a call earlier today from someone claiming to be from my bank, yet they refused to disclose which bank it was. I've decided to block that number.

I received a call on my mum’s home phone this afternoon. The caller asked for me by name and brought up something about my bank. I told them that banks never make calls like that, and then I just hung up!

I received a call from someone requesting to speak with the man of the house, but as he was out at the time, the caller wouldn’t divulge their identity to me, his wife. They mentioned they’d ring back at nine o'clock in the evening, but alas, they never did. How unfortunate that I couldn't catch him! It’s amusing how these things unfold, isn't it? Wishing everyone well, ta ta!

This number keeps calling me without fail, yet they never seem to bother leaving a message when my voicemail picks up.

I've just received a rather cheeky call from these jokers claiming to be from a bank! I firmly told them I wasn’t interested at all and promptly blocked their number!

Received a call from this number, claiming to be my bank, but then they abruptly disconnected. I've since informed my bank about the situation.

I received a call from this number earlier today, but when I picked up, there was nothing but dead air on the other end.

I received a call from this number but didn’t pick up, and they didn’t bother to leave a voicemail.

Received a call from someone wanting my banking information, but I firmly declined. No way I'm giving that out!

I received a phone call at three o'clock this afternoon, the 20th of April, 2017, while I was outdoors in the garden. They didn’t leave any voicemail. A previous call on the 12th of April was missed because I didn’t recognise the number at all. We’re registered with the Telephone Preference Service. I've already reported both instances to OFCOM.

I was under the impression that random cold calls had been made illegal and that firms could face hefty fines for such practices. So why isn’t there any enforcement or action being taken?

I received a call from someone claiming to be from Network Research, apparently representing my bank. They wanted to discuss a few details regarding my recent financial activities. Quite curious, don’t you think?

Yet another dodgy operation with nefarious aims at play. It's high time action was taken: they ought to be caught red-handed and dragged into court, facing hefty fines that hit six figures and a proper stint behind bars. It's utterly disgraceful that individuals would stoop so low, violating our privacy in such an egregious manner. Where on earth will this madness conclude?

A right bunch of swindlers, if you ask me.

I had a rather peculiar phone call today from someone claiming to be from my bank. They insisted on discussing my latest visit to their branch, which I found rather odd as I've not set foot in there for quite some time. When I mentioned this, the line went dead abruptly! How strange!

This evening, I received an unexpected call from this number, which is quite curious since I’m on the ex-directory list and registered with the Telephone Preference Service. The most optimistic interpretation is that it might be a legitimate market research firm who somehow received my personal information (name, phone number, and the fact that I hold an account) from my bank without my consent. However, the less favourable scenario could imply that it’s a dodgy bunch of individuals, possibly using spoofed caller ID, who may have accessed my data through nefarious means and are now attempting to fish for even more of my personal information. Regardless of the situation, I had no intention of answering the call, as such unsolicited contacts are far from welcome. If my bank genuinely wanted to reach me, they certainly have my email on file!

I received a call this evening from this number, which is quite perplexing as I'm ex-directory and registered with the Telephone Preference Service. The most benign scenario is that it's a legitimate market research firm that has somehow obtained my personal information, such as my name, phone number, and the fact that I hold an account with my bank, probably through some nefarious means. On the flip side, it could also be a dodgy group of individuals whose caller ID is faked - potentially using hacked information to fish for further personal details from me. Regardless of the situation, this sort of contact is not something I appreciate, so I chose to ignore it. If 'my bank' actually wants to get in touch, they've got my email address! - Caller: unknown

Had a call on my mobile earlier today from a company called Network Research, apparently reaching out on behalf of my bank. They were looking for a chap by a specific name, but it turned out they’d dialled the wrong number. Oddly enough, I actually knew the person they were after! The caller quickly said sorry for the mix-up and then hung up.

I receive calls from this number two or three times daily, yet I never pick up. They don't bother leaving any messages either. It's quite bothersome, to say the least!

This number seems to ring me two or three times daily, but I’ve chosen not to pick up. Curiously, they never bother to leave a message. It’s such a bother!

I mentioned that my time is valued at £150 per hour, and if they wished to carry on with the conversation, they'd need to consent to that fee. Unsurprisingly, they hung up on me!

Had a call this evening inquiring about my son. They claimed to be from "the bank." I've swiftly added the number to my block list!

It's a tad unsettling, if I'm honest, to be quizzed about financial particulars, especially at our age.

I missed a call from this number earlier, so I thought I'd give it a ring back since it's a freephone. When I did, I was greeted by a recorded message that claimed to be from Market Research, prompting me to check out their site at www.marketresearch.com if I was keen on their services. No, thank you very much!

Received a call last night around quarter to eight. They claimed to be from "the bank," but I’m not inclined to engage with anyone like that. It just feels off, doesn’t it?

My daughter, who's just turned 18, got a call from this number on our landline - a number I hardly share with anyone. I could hear her chatting away, so I decided to take over the conversation. The poor chap on the other end was stumbling through his replies, only managing to mutter that he was with the bank. Curious, I quizzed him on how he’d managed to get our phone number, to which he claimed the bank had handed it to him. I couldn't help but point out the contradiction, asking, "Aren't you supposed to be the bank?" He was clearly flustered and quickly said “bye” before hanging up. Thank goodness I was there to step in!

I just had a phone call from this number, and the caller mentioned the exact date I visited Lloyds Bank, even naming the lady who assisted me. Quite peculiar, isn’t it?

I've noticed they've been ringing me non-stop all week, but I've never managed to catch them. What's the story with Tps these days?

This number has been incessantly ringing my phone, and it just won’t quit!

I've encountered these calls previously and now they’ve begun once more-got two yesterday and another couple today! I’ve chosen to ignore them, banking on the idea that they’ll eventually tire of incessantly ringing my phone.

My husband answered the phone with a cheery 'good evening,' and just like that, they disconnected the call.

Received a call claiming they were conducting a survey related to my bank's services. I firmly stated I wouldn't divulge any personal information over the phone. They insisted it wasn't anything confidential and merely wanted to gather feedback. I let them know I was quite satisfied with my bank, but I refused to offer any additional information. What a nuisance!

I received a call from this number not long ago. The caller inquired if I had contacted my bank lately. However, when I pressed them for the name of the bank, they dodged the question and then promptly ended the call. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

Received a call around half six this evening from someone claiming to be from Lloyds Bank, inquiring about a recent transaction. I thought it was best to hang up rather than engage.

They addressed me by my actual name and claimed to be calling from my bank. When I inquired about which bank, they insisted they couldn't divulge that information until I had cleared their security checks. I firmly told them goodbye and disconnected the call. Clearly, the Telephone Preference Service isn't doing much to help.

Just received a bothersome call that was utterly pointless.

Received two calls today, completely pointless as I’ve no intention of picking up!

Received a call last night around half past eight, claiming to be from Lloyds Bank.

These calls are really quite bothersome. I couldn't care less for them.

I’m rather particular about sharing my phone number, especially since I tend to be overseas quite a bit. It’s rather frustrating to receive calls from this number, and I’m baffled as to how they managed to obtain my contact details. After reading the feedback from others, I’ll certainly be blocking this one straight away.

I've received two calls from them already. I've requested that they cease contacting me. What's more, she couldn’t even pronounce my last name correctly!

Just because someone has a number doesn’t mean they can go about pestering individuals.

Tired of incessant and bothersome calls-I requested that they take my number off their records.

I’ve received a couple of calls from this number yesterday, another this morning, and one more just now. It’s really starting to grate on my nerves!

I keep receiving calls from this number, yet I choose to disregard them after having looked it up on “unknownphone” and reading the comments left behind. However, I can’t help but wonder what’s the use of us all voicing our frustrations about the harassment we’re facing from this number if nothing seems to happen with the authorities? These callers really should be penalised or face more serious consequences.

I arrived back from work to find that I had quite a few missed calls from this particular number.

Received a call from this number earlier today. It was just a pre-recorded message stating they were doing some sort of market research and assured me that “this isn’t a sales call.” I decided to hang up.

I received a phone call from someone who requested to chat with my husband directly regarding financial investments. Strangely, he didn’t mention his name or the company he represented. He also stated he’d call back later. It all seems rather dodgy, doesn’t it?

What a bunch of deceitful sods! They can do one as far as I'm concerned.

This number has been calling me repeatedly during the late hours of the night.

I've got to say, this is an absolute con! I strongly advise against taking any notice of those so-called scam report websites where a handful of individuals claim that this operation is above board or that they're a legitimate research firm. If you look closely, you'll see that the same names keep popping up across various dodgy sites, all insisting that this number isn't involved in any shady dealings. It's pretty obvious they're just recycling the same text over and over again to perpetuate their little racket, all in an effort to swindle folks out of their hard-earned cash. I've had a few calls from them myself, and I wouldn't trust a word they say! - caller: 08000128015

Received a rather odd phone call during the late hours claiming I had visited the bank with an issue-only trouble is, I never set foot in there!

I've been receiving persistent calls regarding some bank survey-it's incredibly annoying and feels like harassment! This needs to be put to an end.

Who’s this then? It’s quite bothersome, to be honest.

This evening, I received a call from a lot of individuals claiming they were conducting a survey regarding my satisfaction with a recent conversation I had with my bank. Naturally, I enquired about which call they were referring to, and they mentioned it was linked to my credit card. To this, I replied that I hadn’t made any such call. Yet, the reality is, I did indeed contact my bank to report my missing credit card. So, I can't help but wonder how Research Network is aware that I had reached out at all?

What an absolute nuisance! I received a cold call from these chaps wanting to chat with my wife regarding a bank. However, they flat-out refused to reveal which bank it was unless they spoke to her directly. This was rather odd, especially since she could clearly hear everything on the line. They’ve got a real knack for raising suspicion and they carry an air of unprofessionalism about them. To whoever is backing them - take heed! They’re likely causing you more harm than any potential good!

Just tell them to shove off!

I've had a slew of calls from this number, and it's becoming downright irritating-almost as bothersome as scaling Mount Everest! Thankfully, I've got call ID, so I don't pick up, but it's still a bother having to rush to my phone every single time just to check the screen. It’s really testing my patience!

This is the second occasion on which I've received a call from them. They claimed they wished to speak directly to my wife. When I inquired about the subject matter, they mentioned something regarding a visit she made to the bank last week and that they needed to discuss it with her. I mentioned that I had attended the same meeting, so I could quite easily provide the information they sought. However, they insisted that they could only converse with her. After a bit of back and forth and a few pointed remarks on my part, I eventually hung up. I’ll be reaching out to the bank to clear this up.

A while back, I had a chat with my bank regarding this sort of inquiry. I made it quite clear that I had no intention of participating in any telephone surveys and asked them politely to refrain from calling me in the future. Yet, it appears my wishes were completely ignored!

This number keeps ringing me nearly every couple of days at odd hours. Lately, they've even tried reaching me past eight in the evening. I’ve just begun picking up, but funny enough, as soon as I do, they hang up without a word! Quite the nuisance, if you ask me.

I picked up the phone, yet there was absolute silence on the other end. It's quite intriguing to see others' remarks, especially since I've just set up an account with TSB recently as well!

I've received a total of three calls from this number over the past four days. Today, I decided to pick up and they asked for me by name. When I confirmed my identity, suddenly they couldn't hear me at all, and then the line went dead. Rather strange, I must say!

I can assure you that this call is completely legitimate. I previously worked for Network Research, a firm hired by your bank to gather feedback on the service you received. Participation is entirely optional, and if you find the call bothersome, feel free to voice your concerns to your bank. They provided Network Research with your contact details expressly for this purpose. Just a note, they do hold back on revealing the bank’s identity until they verify that you are indeed the account holder. It’s important not to take your frustration out on the callers themselves; they aren’t particularly fond of these jobs but need to make ends meet. Many of them are students or individuals who have unfortunately faced redundancy. They often work on zero-hour contracts, facing enormous pressure to hit specific targets - failure to do so can mean fewer hours for them. If you’re looking to get in touch, the number 08000128015 is for their outbound calls, while 02076805100 can handle both inbound and outbound inquiries, making it the number to dial if you wish to reach out to them. - Caller: Network Research

I was inundated with calls from this number, which really got on my nerves. Unfortunately, I can't pick up as I'm deaf and rely solely on texting for communication. I've now decided to block this number altogether.

Absolute blighters, I tell ya! They're really pushing my buttons!

Absolutely legitimate. I’m employed at a bank, and I can confirm that all major high street banks utilise this market research firm. They’re strictly governed by data protection regulations, which prevent them from disclosing any information about their call origins until they've engaged with the account holder directly. These phone calls are instrumental in enhancing the quality of service you experience at your local branch.

Absolutely authentic, I assure you. I’m employed at a banking institution, and it’s worth noting that virtually all major banks collaborate with this market research firm. They are obligated by strict data protection regulations, which restrict them from disclosing their calling location until they have established communication with the account owner. These telephone surveys are designed to enhance the quality of service you receive at your local branch. - caller: Network Research

I just had a rather unexpected phone call, inquiring about my daughter, who thankfully wasn’t home at that moment. As soon as I mentioned she wasn't around, the caller hung up without another word! I was quite taken aback to see a number left behind, as most of these sorts of calls usually keep their digits hidden. Really appreciate the heads-up from everyone about this. - Caller: Network Research

I've been receiving cold calls two to three times daily, but I simply choose not to pick up the phone.

I’ve received this number ringing me thrice now-two times on my mobile, which I’ve since blocked. The most recent call came through to my landline.

Received a call earlier claiming I’d requested some information regarding my bank and wanted me to partake in a brief five-minute survey. The thing is, I haven’t made any such enquiry, and as soon as I mentioned this, he abruptly ended the call. Just another typical scam attempt, if you ask me.

I didn't recognise the number, so I chose not to pick up. However, I've got an answering machine set up, so if they have something to say, they can always drop me a message.

I've been receiving calls every evening this week, so I've decided to let the little ones pick up. They keep mentioning Battersea Dogs Home, and before long, the callers are hanging up. It’s quite amusing, really!

I received a call from them earlier, and when I inquired about their identity, they merely cited 'customer confidentiality' as a reason for not disclosing their name. Yet, they seemed quite keen on getting my name. Honestly, what are they thinking?

Someone inquired about the bank I use and wanted to know my name, so I reckon it’s time to update my PIN!

Received a couple of calls, the first one on Friday, 1st September 2015 at 19:23, but it was a silent one. The next was on Saturday, 10th September at 11:20, where a lady asked for me by name. My wife informed her that I wasn't around, and she mentioned she would ring back later. I attempted to lodge a complaint with the TPS yesterday, filling in all the necessary information, only to be met with a barrage of Captcha prompts. After wrestling with twenty different Captcha challenges, I tried contacting their webmaster to file my complaint, but the same Captcha trouble resurfaced. It feels like they're deliberately hindering complaints in order to manipulate their figures.

Rang me on two occasions, and now it's saved as 'unknown' on my phone.

I’ve been inundated with calls on my mobile from these persistent individuals - I really have no interest in engaging with them. I suspect it’s all a ploy to con people. It’s quite frustrating, especially as I have a family member who is unwell, and I’m eagerly awaiting important calls regarding their condition. I would greatly appreciate it if these calls could be halted, as I don’t need any added stress at this time. Cheers!

I've had this number ringing me all week and I'm thoroughly annoyed by it now.

I've received calls from this number four times now. I've chosen not to answer since it's quite an unusual one. A quick search online revealed some details about it.

I recently received a call from Network Research, a company I was briefly employed with! They are engaged in market research and frequently work on behalf of several prominent banks to gather customer insights, mainly because these banks are well aware that their clientele doesn’t particularly relish being contacted. The feedback collected is then channelled back to the bank's personnel and specific locations. It’s essentially an undercover operation by the banks to keep tabs on their staff, as the queries largely pertain to the employee who assisted you-things like their friendliness, the wait duration, and their level of expertise. Network Research operates until 9 in the evening, which I find to be quite absurd for making such calls, and it was one of the reasons I decided to leave. So, if you've visited your bank for any reason, even if it was just a simple inquiry, it's likely you’ll get a call inviting you to partake in a brief survey about your thirty-second interaction. The banks have instructed us not to disclose their names until we connect with the account holder, supposedly for confidentiality reasons, which honestly frustrates quite a few individuals-a sentiment that’s entirely justified! If you express that you’re not interested in participating in the survey, we categorize that as a refusal, so ideally, you shouldn't receive any further calls after that. Additionally, if your voicemail picks up, the system automatically schedules a follow-up call. But let me assure you, the level of dissatisfaction with their jobs among the staff is truly palpable. - Caller: Network Research and Marketing LTD.
