Repeated nuisance calls from National Survey

ffox

I am the subject of repeated calls from various people claiming to be National Survey. They call from a mobile phone number.


Anyone know of any company called National Survey because I haven't?


Each time they are adamant to ask me three questions but they won't get to the point.


I'm curious to know what do they hope to achieve from this?


I would appreciate it if anyone has any info on this.

Never mind what they want, if you don't want to answer their questions then just say "I'm not interested, bye" and hang up.

It would be helpful to know who they are and what they want so that people can decide for themselves if they want to participate.

National Survey could be the real NS see google or a bunch of scammers who know with no number.

That should tell you all you need to know, do not engage.

I get calls from them all the time but they hang up on me before I can tell them to take me off their call list. Always an Indian accent. I have blocked the number but each time they call it's on a new number!

They spoof their caller IDs. Once they used a courier's package tracking number as the phone number of their caller ID. Perhaps they realised that people don't answer to withheld numbers. Bizarre.


I don't quite see their point or motivation to do this.

Having the same issue for a few months now - calls almost every day always from a different number, which I block after they hang up the moment I say "please take my number of your system".

Then they know your number is live and sell it on .

Newbie then, been having them for over 15 years daily its gets to you unfortunately i aint so nice.
Blocking wont do any good most spoof to look like its a UK legit number, you have to answer if run a business and mid job that stands a good chance of scrapping on return to it.
