She insisted we were on the TPS list, yet argued TPS only covers sales, not market research. I told her to remove us regardless.

Ever wondered why a courteous voice keeps ringing from +44 1642 680768? Most reports describe a polite young lady or man claiming to conduct market research on local shopping habits, often mentioning a town name to appear legitimate. In reality these calls are unsolicited survey attempts that frequently ignore the Telephone Preference Service. The safest approach is to let the call go to voicemail, never share personal or financial details, and add the number to your block list or call‑protect service. If the caller refuses to identify a reputable company, report the incident to the communications regulator. Regularly reviewing your TPS registration helps keep such telemarketing intrusions at bay.

An unsolicited outreach from a well‑spoke young lady claimed she represented a marketing firm conducting local shopping research – she even named my town correctly – and asked if I’d answer a few queries. I declined politely and hung up. Curious that a Middlesbrough‑based outfit was probing a southern English community.
A friendly young lady named Gemma called, saying she was carrying out market research about shopping, then hung up.
A call came in after 18:00; I hung up before answering and flagged the number as a scam, then blocked it.
After politely requesting that they stop calling, the line kept ringing. In the most recent call I demanded a copy of the recording and a transcript to use as evidence in court, then asked them to cease contact.
On 13 August 2025 at around 14:15, a man called from 01642 680 768, saying he was conducting market research that would take only four minutes and would be recorded for training. He asked where we shop for food, how much we spend, whether we do secondary shopping, and the locations and amounts spent. He then listed categories like furniture, electronics, jewellery, and utensils, asking where we purchase each. He inquired about my transport mode, age, and whether I was the driver or passenger. He sounded polite with an English accent. Good luck to anyone answering.
Received a call with no sound.
Call Protect flagged it as a nuisance; I’d love it if they just stopped.
My BT Call Protect blocked the call—no voicemail was left, so it was likely a cold‑call or scam.
The caller said they were from a market research firm; I mentioned our TPS registration and asked why they were calling. He claimed the number was generated and that legitimate researchers wouldn't call, yet couldn't explain his own call. He ended the call abruptly.
Got no response, so I blocked it. cheers.
It follows the typical pattern of an unknown number going to voicemail and leaving nothing—a classic scam call.
Got a silent ring, I hung up after the answering machine played its message, yeah.
Random cold call, number unknown – blocked it after seeing other reports, bruv.
Ring at 19:16, nobody answered when I picked up – glad I checked, looks like a load of bs, mate.
Based on the entries, it looks like a poorly executed shopping survey, yet it's odd that my southern local council would hire a Middlesbrough market‑research firm. It feels like a scam; I never spoke to anyone and no message was left.
They kept calling, so I decided not to answer unknown numbers and have blocked this one from future calls.
Got just one ring before Call Guardian grabbed it, no further chat, blocked. Cheers.
A cold call from Mens? NEMS Market Research, which is non‑compliant with the TPS.
He claimed to be conducting a grocery‑shopping market survey. When I mentioned I don’t shop for groceries, he politely acknowledged it couldn’t continue, ended the call nicely. cheers.
Seems to be a generic scam.
