Risk level: High
AI Analysis
Limited information: Frequent telemarketing and harassment reports from UK residents, despite many being on the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). Calls often feature pre-recorded messages, sometimes incomplete, related to PPI claims or bank matters, with the company rarely identifying itself. Some reports mention specific individuals and companies (Falcon & Pointer, QuickStart Recruitment) with links to Swansea, Wales. Regulatory actions against directors (e.g., a 6-year director ban) are noted, but the calling continues. Users express frustration over the ineffectiveness of TPS and the persistence of calls, even at late hours.
Likely purpose: Unsolicited telemarketing, possibly focused on PPI claims or bank matters, with a pattern of disregard for the Do Not Call (TPS) list and lack of transparency regarding the company's identity.
Most common user complaints
- Ignoring TPS registration
- Pre-recorded messages, often incomplete
- Failure to identify the calling company
- Persistent calls, including at late hours
- Relating to PPI claims or bank matters without consent

122yesterday Rings once and hangs up; also even after blocking lol.
Another call from this number: Same story every week and also every single day
Never leaves a message, plus for no reason!
Pure harassment, to make it worse always at the same time.
Another call from this number: Always busy when you call back, and worst of all and nobody does anything
yet another one: Pure harassment, and worst of all never saying a word...
today Sales pitch after sales pitch; also for no reason…
Some great news people: Ben Winchester has been banned from being a director for 6 years, https://www.gov.uk/government/news/director-of-swansea-nuisance-call-firm-gets-six-year-ban His latest efforts with QuickStart recruitment have faltered as it has now been the subject of a compulsory order. Yeay, victory at last. I might just give him a call to wish him well.
Finally got a verdict in the Ben Winchester case - 6 year director ban. Not really enough https://www.gov.uk/government/news/director-of-swansea-nuisance-call-firm-gets-six-year-ban.
12th Jan 2016: " ... has had its licence suspended". Is that all? Still, one small step for man ... I hope Falcon and Pointer and their ilk get fined to oblivion or end up in a cell with a perpetually ringing telephone
Rang three times, even though TPS on phone line. Now blocked number. How do they keep getting away with this.
As others have mentioned, auto-message start part-way through, telling you to press 9 to be removed. The voice is so unclear that I thought it was 'thousand and pointer.com', but someone here wrote 'Falcon and Pointer', so there we go. No mention by the company what they do/why. I get so many calls from various numbers, and have emailed my MP who I doubt will bother raising in Parliament. Feel free to email your MP
Annoying that this number calls what seems to be as often as - every day
On answering phone, caller launches into a pre-recorded talk. Doesn't respond to "Hello, who's calling?". very rude. Had this twice this week. Replaced receiver both times.1471 told me it was 01600469009.
Have called me everyday for a week at the same time of day. I don't answer thanks to the comments on this page
Phoned 3 times already, wish i could block this number.
Constant calls by a computer system I'm with tips but they don't care keeps calling day and night.
several calls upto 20:00 at night, Millions of years of human evolution and we end up with Wesh Idiots who can not manage to leave a complete message that starts at the right place, suggest use all prepaid responce envolopes and request for information cards to get a load of junk delivered to these idiots.
usual bank/PPI rubbish. They keep calling, recorded message - reported to ICO.
Pain constant ringing i pressed 5 when answered told the guy i had pressed 5 the wind up a parasite button he rang off.
Telemarketer ignoring TPS.
Many, many calls despite being on TPS and not having been mis-sold a bank account. Reported to ICO. A little digging and I believe this is one of the two gents involved although both have 'resigned' as directors: https://www.linkedin.com/pub/marc-winchester/2b/a09/679.
18:23 Today. A real Telepest. Also called 12:32 yesterday. Clear recorded Welsh accent talking about a dreamed up "bank claim". I'm with TPS. How can these people get away with working like this.
We have had several calls from this number over the last couple of weeks. we are on the TPS so have reported the company to them, have also reported the company to the CMR who are regulators for claims companies. I have also sent emails to the company themselves, but so far have had no reply
Recorded message about PPI. I wonder how amused the MD of this scumbag outfit would be if I rang his home every day trying to sell him my goods? I expect he'd soon be crying foul
Reported them to ICO after second call today. Why can't something be done to stop them? Maybe we should all go to their office and sort it out ourselves.
Total pain in the neck. Have recently had a number of calls from them even when on TPS. Report them to Action Fraud please if they call you http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/.
The third recorded call from Falcom & Pointer today and dozens over the past few weeks. I am fed up with them wasting my time
Automated call about 'mis-sold packaged bank accounts'. Option at the end of the call to press 9 to have your number removed; however, I did that last week and have received the same call twice since then. TPS don't deal with automated calls; to report this number, go to the ICO website: https://ico.org.uk/concerns/marketing/report-automated-calls/ Falcon & Pointer claim to be registered with the ICO and with the Government's Claims Management Regulator
5uckers all me every day. TPS totally ignored. About time ICO and BT pulled their fingers out of their b@cksides and shut this sc@m down.
Its this Falcon and Pointer lot again hiding behind a call centre in USA. 3rd call in a week. TPS useless have reported the calls with full details to ICO and TPS. Got another for them now. Can someone in Swansea go and tell them there's a big fine coming
Getting called repeatedly by this number, as soon as my answer machine cuts in they clear (i'm in the TPO but as usual that makes no difference to these scammers/spammers) Why is the ICO so useless with these people).
These muppets have obviously completely ignore TPS and call anyone they want and no one at ICO seems to pay any attention
This company keeps calling - & leaving recorded messages. I am delisted for phone calls but this company is not interested & does not care. How do they expect anyone to do business with them if they act like this. They deserve to go out of business - the sooner the better
Some recorded message about banking.Have had calls previous week with exactly same message from a different number,but obviously same annoying firm.tried to ring the numbers back,but get number unobtainable tone.How do they call me from a number that doesn't exist?.Fed up.
nuisance caller keeps trying despite being registered with TPS.
Yet another call from this number. Pity I'm not living nearby, as I'd pay them a visit. BT knows exactly who all these callers are, but prefers to make money out of them, rather than do anything about it
Fed up of calls.
Two recorded message calls in an hour re: bank charges. Reported to TPS.
Two calls (both recorded messages) in just over an hour from this bunch and I have reported them to the TPS - I suggest you do too
Phone rang. Picked up. Recorded announcement. So hung up. My number is XD & signed up to TPS. I get very few unsolicited calls, so don't know how this one got through. Will be reporting them
Was called today at 15:01 by someone stating they were Falcon & Pointer. My number is unlisted plus I signed up for TPS years ago. I am sick to death of these illegal calls
I have reported them to the ICO. Hopefully something will be done about this blight
Automated call re misspelling of packaged bank account (I don't have one.
Press 9 if you do not wish to be contacted again. Welsh accent. Address given as Falcon & Pointer, Princess House, Swansea. SA1 3AW. Shows up as 33 Oxford Street Swansea. Also gave website as falconandpointer.com.
PPI Claim scam cold calling.
Recorded message call now made twice despite TPS listing of my number
Quick-fire recorded message mentioned types of(bank?)account and finished with a menu of keypad responses - not pursued.
Called several times by this number. Am tps registered and ex-directory. Company accounts are all debt. Avoid
Falcon & Pointer about PPI claim. Fifth call. Don't call back on 01600 number. Get the number from their site - 0300 404 2984. I asked for my number to be taken off their list. 'Jan' said it was done immediately. Now if they call TPS can act. You must tell F & P not to call otherwise TPS cannot help
