Sales calls from Talk Talk & Eon after bogus survey

  • Are you sure he didn't say consumer research and you misheard? Or deliberately made it sound more like cancer research than consumer research? Can't think of any reason why talk talk and cancer research would team up, or how cancer research would benefit from you giving information out about your utility companies.

    Jenni, I am wondering if I misheard as the line was really bad, but I asked him to clarify it was Cancer Research and he said yes--it's also possible that he misunderstood me as well! Although my partner says he wouldn't put it past them to let me believe it was Cancer Research.

    Spike7451, interesting you mentioned that, but I did a credit check with Equifax out of curiosity back in mid January. I hope the two are not related.

    Thanks for your input, everyone. If I hear anything else I will update.
