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.

Pure harassment, to make it worse always at the same time.

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.

Anonymous

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

Telemarketer ignoring TPS.

Anonymous

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.

Anonymous

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

Anonymous

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

Anonymous

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.

Anonymous

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

Anonymous

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).

Anonymous

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

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.

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

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
