I got a call from this place called DJS Research, sounds like it’s a market research firm. Had a quick look them up online, and they seem to be on the level, nothing dodgy about them.

I don't get why these sketchy 0161 numbers still get through. Every single one of them seems pointless.

They've rung me a couple of times but never left any message, so I reckon it's just a pest call. I'm on the TPS anyway.

Got a call from a Manchester number round 7.45 in the evening, but no voicemail left. I called back and just got some recorded message about a survey. They said they'd ring me again later. Sounds dodgy to me - why would anyone call that late and then not even bother to leave a proper message? Definitely seems like a scam.

Got a call asking about how safe I think my neighbourhood is and if I could do a quick survey, ended up just hanging up straight away.

Called asking whether we had secure locks on the back and front doors, definitely a scam.

Got a call at half past one today from a polite man claiming to be doing a survey on the Police and safety around here. He mentioned he could provide a number to check if he was genuine, which seemed quite reassuring.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with the Greater Manchester combined authority, doing a survey about local safety. I told them I wasn’t bothered. The first time they rang, the number was hidden, but about an hour later they called again and this time my phone showed a Manchester number.

Got a call about some sort of council survey, said it was about the police around here. Seemed a bit off to me.

I got a call around half six in the evening from someone claiming to be with DJS Surveys. The line was so noisy in the background and the person on the other end was hard to understand. I ended the call pretty quick before they could say much more.

The phone buzzed three times and then just stopped. They left a voicemail but there was nothing to hear on it.

This number rang me but there was no sound when I answered, and they didn’t leave any voicemail or anything. So now I’m just wondering what that was about.
