I've been filling out surveys for this research firm for some time, and every now and then they actually pay me. Honestly, market research really isn’t a con, despite what people think 🙄

Got a call from some bloke claiming to be doing a survey about how secure people feel around Manchester. He asked right off the bat where I lived. I said Blackpool, and then he just said I wasn’t needed for the survey. His pretty rough accent made me realise it was dodgy right away.

Got a call from this number on the evening of 2nd November, around 8pm I think. Then, when I picked up my phone this morning, it was saying ‘line busy’. Sounds like someone might’ve been on my landline all night long. Any advice on what I should do now?

After it rang six times, they just hung up. I can't see any way this number would need to get in touch with me. Feels like it might be a scam.

I just did a survey and they didn’t ask for any personal info. It was mostly stuff like what gender I am, my age, how secure I feel where I live, and whether I’ve reported anything to the police recently. Pretty straightforward questions really.

I answered the call but they hung up almost instantly, like within a couple of seconds. I’m not based in the UK, the only connection I’ve got with there is studying at The Open University. No clue if that’s why they called, since nobody said a word.

Got a call about a survey on sewerage and water, sounded dodgy to me. They only asked for my age range and which water supplier I use, no personal details or anything. Feels like a scam to me.

Tonight, I got a call from a woman speaking with a northern accent claiming she was from some organisation about water research - I can’t quite recall the exact name. She wanted me to take part in a survey about my water and sewage provider. As soon as I told her I wasn’t interested, she ended the call pretty quickly. I’ve blocked the number now, since I doubt a genuine research group would ring numbers on the Do Not Call list like that.
