My phone warned me it could be a scam, so I chose not to pick up.

I'm registered as a priority customer with my electric company, and recently there was a local blackout that hit my place. During and shortly after the outage, I got a missed call and a voicemail explaining what was happening and when power was expected to come back on. Later, I got contacted by a market research firm accredited by the Market Research Society (MRS), checking how I felt about the outage and how UK Power Networks managed the situation. Having previously worked at MORI Opinion Polls (now IpsosMORI), I’m pretty certain this was all above board. The questions were straightforward, nothing dodgy at all. The caller followed the MRS Code of Conduct perfectly, doing the usual thing of repeating questions with those annoying “on a scale from 1 to 10” prompts. All procedures were followed properly - I’ve interviewed loads of people in the past, from MPs to scientists and top executives, so I know a proper survey when I see one.

Got loads of calls from the same number and every time my iPhone tells me it’s either a scam or spam. Quite annoying!

They rang me on the 28th and again on the 27th of February, but both times there was no sound at all.

This number has called me a few times, once yesterday and three times today. I’m thinking of just blocking it.

This number has rang me a couple of times today, always cutting off after just a few secs and then ringing again later - I reckon it’s probably some kind of scam.

Got called twice today, both times from different numbers and area codes. Didn’t leave a message either. Honestly, feels like it’s turning into a bit of a nuisance now.

Don’t pick up, it’s a scam for sure.

I picked up the phone thinking it might be a scam, and I could hear a lot of chatter in the background for a few seconds from what sounded like a busy call centre before the call got cut off. Definitely seemed dodgy, so I went ahead and blocked the number.
6 months
They called me a couple of times already, I didn’t pick up either time but got a feeling it’s dodgy so I just blocked the number.

Got a call from this number, but I didn’t pick up since it looked unfamiliar. I don’t use voicemail, so if it’s important, they’d better send a text. There’s so many dodgy calls going around lately, it’s really getting on my nerves.
6 months
Got a call supposedly from Essex and Suffolk Water but the number showed up as South Shields. They asked me to do a quick ten-minute survey. Weirdly, they already had my full name, but I wasn’t about to let them dig for more personal stuff. Best not to pick up if you get this sort of call!
