I didn't take the call from this number, but interestingly, when I searched it, it led me to Ryecraft Motors & Bodyshop Ltd in London. They might be legitimate or perhaps have dialled incorrectly, but I reside in Aberdeen and last visited London by flight. Thus, I wasn't surprised to find numerous reviews about scammers associated with it. No voicemail was left, so it couldn't have been urgent!

Expert Opinion
From the pile of complaints the number +442077134810 looks like a classic market‑research scam. Callers often pretend to be from banks, government bodies or charities such as Age Concern, asking for personal or business details. They usually hang up if you push for an email or refuse to answer. If you get a call out of the blue, don’t share any information, ask for a callback on a verified number and report it to the TPS. Blocking the number and staying sceptical are your best defences.

BDRC research was the alleged purpose of the call, but it turned out to be a scam
The company in question is https://www.bva-bdrc.com/. They are frequently employed by other firms to gather data on customers or audiences. Banks or other organisations share your details with them, often because you've agreed to it in some lengthy data policy when using their service or website. In my case, it was my business bank. They posed fairly generic questions, all of which are publicly available on HMRC. Then they asked a few more questions about how likely I would be to recommend the bank's various services. I chose to remain anonymous when providing this information back to the bank, hoping this would prevent calls trying to upsell me services. Naturally, stay vigillant with the information you provide and the types of questions you're asked. But I don't believe this is a scam.
