I am one among many who have been incessantly bothered by numerous calls from IPSOS Mori, a market research company. They call from over 30 different numbers, making it impossible to identify and avoid their calls. This year alone, I have received countless calls that end up with them hanging up on me. It's distressing and feels like being stalked.

IPSOS Mori operates in various regions across the UK, so there is no single STD code to be wary of. The constant barrage of these unanticipated calls has led me to stop answering any call from the 0131 numbers altogether.

The Telephone Preference Service (TPS) exists for a reason - to protect individuals from unsolicited sales and marketing telephone calls. Yet, it seems like companies such as IPSOS Mori are not bound by this service.

Moreover, in an era where online surveys are prevalent and most people rarely use their landlines, why does IPSOS Mori insist on making these intrusive phone calls? Why can't they shift their operations online?

This petition seeks your support in urging regulatory authorities to mandate that IPSOS Mori only make calls from one central number rather than the multitude they currently use. This will allow individuals the choice of whether or not they want to engage with them.  It also means that you only need to block one number.  Some blocking options such as Choose to Refuse only allows blocking of 10 numbers.

It's time we reclaim our peace of mind and our privacy rights! Please sign this petition if you believe that everyone deserves respect for their personal space and time.

The Telephone Preference Service exists to stop us from telephone pests, and it's about time IPSOS Mori accepts that they are just a nusiance.  I'd love to discuss that with them, but of course, they always hang up on me, I believed you weren't supposed to make too many outgoing calls if you don't have the telephone agents to be able to speak to the outgoing calls your making, maybe they feel they are exempt from this too.
