Received a call on my home phone earlier. The caller wanted to chat with a person who isn’t residing at this address. They claimed to be affiliated with Offwat and mentioned having a conversation with someone using this number back in August. I politely informed them that it’s just me at this residence for the past three years.

I tend to avoid picking up calls from unknown numbers; it’s always safer to do a bit of research first. Recently, I found myself needing to contact UU, and funnily enough, they've sent out their own feedback forms. Thank goodness I decided not to pick up!

BMG Research is currently running a survey, acting on behalf of Ofwat, concerning a recent interaction with a Water Authority. The caller was well-informed about my (work-related) engagement with Severn Trent Water and posed a few brief questions to gather feedback. I can confirm that no personal information was sought during the call.

I received a rather peculiar call from a chap with an awkward way of speaking, claiming to represent some 'official body'. He insisted on discussing my so-called 'recent communication with Severn Trent'. I had to inform him that I hadn't reached out to them at all. He simply apologised for the inconvenience and I promptly ended the call. Quite an odd encounter, really!

I received a call at 6:55 this evening from a woman who claimed she was conducting an Ofcom survey regarding my water supplier. She had my full name, which was rather unsettling.

I recently participated in an Ofwat market research survey. Interestingly, they didn’t ask for any personal details. The questionnaire was quite brief and focused on my latest interactions with Cambridge Water. It seemed they were already aware of my name and mobile number, and they had correctly pinpointed when I last reached out to the water service.

I’m at a bit of a loss regarding this number and its reason for reaching out to me. Reading through previous remarks has jogged my memory – I've been in touch with Thames Water over the last fortnight concerning a drainage issue. Following that, I was inundated with calls and texts that clearly seemed to originate from their office, soliciting my thoughts on their service. During my conversations with them, I made it clear that I'd be out for the entire day and provided instructions on how they could access the drain. Now I'm left wondering who else might have received my contact details.
