Don't get angry, even though it's annoying. Have fun seeing how long you can keep them on the phone by just making up answers to their questions. If they ring back, try to beat your previous best! And for people who say " Don't be mean, they're just doing their job" Well, they should get a different job. Unfortunately, they probably didn't listen at school.

Apparently telephoning to do a survey on a bank. Beggars belief - Didn't advise any details and not intending to answer again. If it is genuine (and the jury is out on that one) some bank is wasting a lot of money on surveys.

This caller claimed to be asking about the householder's insurance. I don't think a genuine insurance provider would be calling a private home at 7.20 p.m. in the evening and therefore think this is a suspicious nuisance call.

What I found interesting, that No matter HOW savvy a Scamming Thief is,..... HOW Do they KNOW that You've walked into a particular Bank.... Today?? You see I Did Actually Walk in to the Bank, But I Forgot the envelope bills and other stuff at home, therefore I walked back out, I didn't GO to the counter, and they weren't guessing, because They Knew the accounts I HAD......So, somebody had to Tell themni was there....how else then....

Just received a call from a Scottish speaker guy who claimed he was calling on behalf of my bank re a telephone banking survey. As I have not made any calls to my bank told him that he had the wrong number and that I wished him to delete the number. He then said 'you have not made any calls to your bank' and I suggested that he get his facts straight before calling me. I disconnected the call

If you have been called by Motif on this number then it is NOT a scam, purely all they want is feedback on the service you have received from a specific company. Please don't spread nonsense as they are only trying to do their job! Motif is an independent market research company that have many clients that they do feedback surveys on behalf of. They can also not say the name of the bank or company until they know it is the customer they are speaking to purely due to customer confidentiality reasons!

Claimed to be from my bank wanting to do a satisfaction survey. When I asked them which bank they represented they just hung up. Believe this is a scam, when did you ever hear of a bank interested in customer satisfaction anyway!

I to have had these calls over the last few days it annoys me, as I'm ex-directory. But I have by if you don't change your company, as but have a number that you can call to have these numbers stopped, I have also received scam calls regarding my bank, it's an automated call to start with then a Indian comes on, and bingo they ask questions, concerning you doing internet banking. Don't answer it it's a full blown scam, and this new one is about hidden hearing. I got the message, as I looked at a site near my home in Derbyshire. It's unreal they must be stopped. Join the TPS they should also put a halt to these calls. I hope you manage to stop them, ps if your mobile company is EE be very careful it is owned by BT, my landline, so every time I now top up my mobile, I suddenly start getting scam messages. On landline the last number was as you suspect 08000803242, put it straight into spam.

They barrage people with messages on some numbers and there motives seem to be to unnerve people .My best guess is its sponsored by a small minded petty malicious deceitful organisation who seem to like the receivers of the call to be unnerved by giving the call center private information.Id imagine they have some kind of govt backing as the information is often private and involving banks, accounts or services

Caller said he was getting feedback about staff following a visit to a bank in a town I never visit. They knew my name and my bank name, but hung up after I was vague in confirming anything. Suspicious. Their phone number says they are from www.thisismotif.com, at least that is what it sounds like, some kind of marketing company, but the phone number could be actually for a different outfit.
