Imagine you pick up the phone and a stranger says they’re conducting a survey for DJS Research. The call is brief, offers no clear identifier and then disappears when you try to answer. Do not share personal details such as name, address or financial information, even if the caller mentions well‑known organisations like Prudential or the Met Office. Register your number with the Telephone Preference Service and add the number to your phone’s block list. If calls persist, lodge a complaint with Ofcom and report the incident on consumer‑watch sites. Staying vigilant and using built‑in blocking tools are the quickest ways to stop the nuisance.

Received several calls from this number over the past few weeks. No one speaks when I answer, just office background noise. Had three missed calls today. I'm expecting updates from Yorks Water about pipe replacement, so I thought it might be them with a poor connection. Blocked it now.

Mystery shopper feedback provided
Following an online review of the FSCS, I received a call from this number and was pleasantly surprised that they didn't request any sensitive information beyond what's publicly available, offering a potential £50 Amazon voucher for participation, and upon further research, the company appears to be legitimate.
