On 16th May 2025, I got two calls. The first one came at a bad moment, so I asked them to phone later. When they called back, it was someone else claiming to do a survey for Accent for Offwat. They said I worked for some company called Hawthorn something, but I had no clue what they were on about. I just told them I had no idea, and we both ended the call. Proper confusing!

Seems like this number is for Market Research or something. Thing is, I never share any info, like ever. So no clue why they’d bother ringing me.

If you’ve had a call from Accent, it’s actually a company doing market research. They’re not trying to sell you anything, just gathering info for surveys. I had a ring from them the other day and was curious too, but after a quick search I found out they’re legit and just doing some research work.

Someone rang me and I just picked up without saying a word. They were going on about some iPhone or messenger thing! Then when I asked "who the heck is this?" they just cut the call. Definitely felt a bit shady!
