Caller was "North Cumberland County Council " and they were calling to conduct a consumer shopping survey. Wanted to know local people's shopping habits. Asked about home, car, and certain products I use. Also wanted to know my television provider. After a while I hung up because I changed my mind about answering.

Nuisance call, introduced herself as 'Nems Market research'. 20.05, an intrusion into our lives. I got rid of the time waster with my usual response: we don't know you and we're on the telephone preference service list. Goodbye. TPS is pretty useless, but we live in hope.

I got a call from the Canterbury City Council and they were asking about my shopping habits and this is odd to me because there isn't a whole lot of shopping in this particular area. I think these people are a breed of phone scumbags who want to build profiles on you for a database by pretending to be doing surveys. They later sell your data to other telemarketers so you can get more calls. Basically, a scumbag who checks to see what you can be called for to sell things to and then sells it to companies.

Received a call on Sunday afternoon and advised conducting a survey on behalf of Wellingborough Council regarding shopping habits. Again not alot of shopping in this area. I suspect the above mentioned Bitchin has got it right.

Sick to death of this company ringing my business line when I explain it's a business line they say sorry wrong number. Having been told this a dozen times this week you think they would remove my number. It's a market research company who obviously don't listen so can't be much good at what they do.

Missed the call but dialled 1471 and rang the number 05.11.15. Heard the name Nems Marketing and cleared down. Bitchin 24.07.15 is absolutely correct re compiling info and selling on our info. Also watched Channel 4 Dispatches, last Monday I think, they confirmed the purpose of these calls. They also lie about calling on behalf of Local Authorities etc.

Received call last night purporting to be from Rutland CC about shopping habits. Must have got me at a weak moment as I completed the survey. Kicking myself now for being stupid. I usually tell these people where to go. At least I didn't buy anything!

Claimed to be Bracknell Forest Council (which we are not under) Sounded less than enthusiastic. No other info as I hung up

Also called me claiming to be conducting a survey of shoppers in Hook on behalf of "Bracknell Forest Council", wouldn't give his company name. I commented that the Council name is Bracknell Forest Borough Council, made excuses and hung up. Hook isn't in the catchment of Bracknell, clearly the caller was trying to gain information under false pretenses.

Caller Company: Wouldn't give his company

Apparently scammers can use a 'local' code from anywhere in the world. Call it back - you could get Brazil at £300.

They were calling from my local council offices asking if I had time to talk for 5 minutes about shopping in my area, said goodbye.
Time wasters again, and again
Would not mind but I am X Directory ( that's a joke) in its self, ring BT and they are not interested when you ask how they get your numbers. something needs to be done to stop these morons.

Received a call from peterborough city /Cambridgeshire county council asking about what I thought to shopping in wisbech, and do I have a couple of minutes to answer some questions. I said no, they said ok and ended the call. Ex directory and registered with T.P.S. Wisbech is under going some major cash injection to revamp it's town centre, plans already in place, would they know this and take advantage of the area code?

Didn't catch where caller said she was from but said was conducting a survey on shopping. Asked for my postcode which I gave, she said this didn't come in the area they wanted, thanked me for my time and said goodbye. I won't answer in future having seen so many websites about this one number!

Just missed a call from this number - hung up when they got the answerphone. Searched the web and seeing the messages here made me put a block on the number. I am fed up with these creeps and pleased I did not have to tell them where to go...

This is a market research company who are asked by certain councils or areas to conduct surveys to improve area, encourage further shops or change things. If you are tps they can ring you because the TPS only regards to sales calls not genuine market research and only ask for your postcode as the council or shop only want information from specific and relevant areas to the changes that they want to make. It's NOT a scam

Said they were conducting a survey for test valley district council on behalf of David Bibby. Asked my age (which I stupidly gave) and then said I am outside their profiling range.

The caller was a pleasant-sounding middle aged empathetic woman.

Don't know if it is a scam but should have reminded myself not to respond to cold callers of any kind

Just had a call purporting to be from government. Many questions about how did I feel about "illegal cigarettes" meant nothing to me as I explained a couple of times. More questions about how dangerous did I think these things were. Referred enquirer to earlier responses. Then we got on to "was I full time employed" "who was the main earner in the household" etc. No thanks
