39Telemarketers. Do not pick up / call back.
after unsolicited calls from this number I barred it suggest any one else with this facility do the same
Market research (NEMSmr.co.uk)
Anyone care to organise a campaign to write to David Cameron and/or your local MP to ask if they receive nuisance calls such as this. They then might do something.
These people are a damned nuisance. It is , as others have said, a market research company called nems . Their website offers this email address for requests to cease calling your number: [email protected] - remember to include your number in the email.
Spam call to my answerphone. Sounds like telemarketing. Answerphones are great! Record "Humberside Poli.. (static) (pause) Sorry about that.. (clear throut)" "How can I help you?" It's amazing how many spammers hang up before the beep!
Called us in the evening after we'd had a busy day at the Office, just relaxing after evening meal - extremely annoying - unsolicited and unwarranted call. Time these "Market Research" Companies were held responsible.
Claimed to be researching shopping habits for Havering Borough Council (well they certainly got the council right)would I take part. I said no thank-you and hung up. TPS waste of time
I received a telemarketing call from a consultancy firm based in Middlesbrough about 6 weeks ago, I asked to be removed from their data base. They called again the following day so I blocked them from my phone (this simply sends their call directly to answer phone) since then they have called me 26 times and left a recorded message every time. I feel this amounts to harassment. The number is 01642 257875 the name of the company seems to be deliberately garbled in their message, '[something] Consultants'
Just rang me to say they were doing a survey on retired people in Bury St Edmunds and could I spare 3 minutes. Told her no and she accepted that. Does she really know if I am retired or not?
Re 01642373357 Received call saying they were conducting a survey on behalf of Bath & North East Somerset Council. I do a lot of work for the council and was surprised. I said 'Really, that's unusual. But go ahead'. Caller mumbled 'we're a market research company' and then hung up. I have let the council know as I have no idea what they were looking for but it clearly is not a legitimate company.
Claimed to be calling on behalf of Bath & East Somerset Council to conduct a survey. I'm not in that council area, as they should know from my area code.
Received this number on my caller ID. No message left.Who are they?
Any ideas anyone, keeps calling and calling !
answer phone on always because of this sort of pest they ring several times a day on occasion . am on tps too
they call me all the time, it's really annoying me.
I got a call from the above number on 9th May 2014 early evening. I am Ex-Directory and registered with TPS to stop cold calls. Nems is a 'Market Research' company so the law does not prevent them from annoying people by calling them. I frequently travel internationally with my work and to be woken up with a cold call when I am trying to get some sleep after 20 or more hours traveling is annoying beyond all belief. To be fair when I said we do not accept cold calls of any kind the girl said 'fair enough' and rang off. The last time my wife answered the questions from 'market research' company, we got bombarded with sales cold calls a week later from companies saying that they agreed that they could call us. We never agreed to any cold calls. I can't say if this would have happened with NEMS but once bitten twice very shy & cautious! Their address is NEMS Market Research 22-23 Manor Way Belasis Hall Technology Park Billingham TS23 4HN Their Directors are :- Richard James Lindsay 51 Goose pasture Yarm Cleveland TS15 9EP Roger Lindsay Jane Carol Lindsay Martin Hunt Geoffrey Siggens Martin Hunt Company Number 03938078 If I could have tracked down one of the directors home telephone number I would have checked how much they would have appreciated being disturbed by an annoying telephone call when they are trying to get some sleep!
They called me at 7.30pm I ignored them, didn't recognise the number. I get at least 3-5 of these blasted calls daily, including SUNDAYS. I never answer anymore.
Market Research Company Middlesbrough told them I'd done a search on them and not to call again as was a nuisance call.
Repeated calls from this number. I never answer as they are in my BLOCKED list. They are: NEMS Market Research 22-23 Manor Way Belasis Hall Technology Park Billingham TS23 4HN Also on T: 01642 37 33 55 F: 01642 37 33 50 E: [email protected]
I am fortunate that my cordless phone has a "blocked caller "list. So I just put this on there to keep company with all the other timewasters. I am on TPS and exdirectory and not on the for sale electoral register.
Caller asked general questions about where I shopped in the local area.
Nuisance
These callers are a damned nuisance, now we leave our answerphone to filter all calls and this one never listens long enough to hear the end of our outgoing message. They are not the only ones who make unsolicited calls. Yes we are registered TPS and off the electoral roll.
An f'ing pest!
they called me and when I said i didn't have any time the chap said "well fuck you then!"
Rang my house phone yesterday. Has just rung my mobile phone too.
I had the phone call saying Wirral borough council survey. asked how old i was told him 66 he said sorry i have a lot of people of that age,sorry to bother you,and sorry is there a male in that household. I got a bit frightened then tried to phone back to check engaged.
Called me yesterday but no one there when I answered. I'm registered with TPS but it's a waste of time, I'm always getting unsolicited and unwanted calls.
this lot constantly call, never anyone there if answered!!! who are these tw@ts and how do i waste their times like they do mine?
Said he was calling on behalf of Telford and Wrekin council doing market research on shopping have I got 5 mins to answer questions NO I AM ON TPS AND EX DIRECTORY Makes no difference
At 86 yrs old and at home all day this caller is really annoying Is there nothing that can be done to stop this type of call
I have found out that the TPS does not stop, or apply to, organisations that do market research! Yes, I was astounded by that. Check the TPS web site and see for yourselves!
Keeps calling every day even on Sundays. Surely there is something can be done to stop these people (hefty fines etc).
I don't know anyone in Middlesborough and I don't expect to be called up on a Sunday afternoon by a legitimate business. They didn't leave a message just moved on to another 'sucker' I suspect.
I use an answerphone to screen calls and they hung up during the message, so no idea what they wanted. If it was important they would have surely left a message, and you'd think they'd only call someone on TPS if it was important. I am on TPS, and they didn't leave a message, therefore possible scam / company of bad practice.
This number called me. I didn't answer but knew that I don't know anyone in Middlesborough and then looked up the number here. I wasn't surprised to see that others have been bothered by it too.
'Lewis' called me yesterday evening claiming to be representing Colchester Borough Council. I immediately thought it was a wheeze to get credibility and replied that it was surprising an outfit like CBC wasn't aware of the TPS. And hung up.
Received this number on my caller ID. No message left. Have not got my number listed in any phone book. Who are they?
