25calling on behalf of OFWAT asking about my water company. Seems legit - I was happy to tell him what a shower southwest water are and no I wouldn't recommend them to anyone else!
Friendly lady from Accent MR (www.accent-mr.com/), conducting survey for WRSE (Water Resource South East) about water usage and draught. survey is quite long. Not a scam. Numbers are generated at random by computer which is why even ex-directory numbers like mine get called.
Chap with a Scottish accent called from "Accent", asking for a person who works here by name.I asked what the call was regarding and he suddenly decided he had the wrong number. Very Strange.
My phone rang just once 18:15 hours; I had no chance to answer.
Scam call. A guy called from Accent on behalf of Water Company asking information about a plumbing job.. but he refused to give me his contact details to call him bank. I quickly googled the phone number and When I asked if they were based in Scotland he hung up the phone..
Called saying here doing a survey for western power distribution
missed call on my mobile earlier...blocked for future JUST IN CASE
Caller wanted details regarding postcode and water supplier.. led him on a merry chase around the Scottish highlands before he hung up seemingly unamused.. mission accomplished
nice man asking about water supply
Called on behalf of recent smart meter install, gave number for Market Research Society for clarification 08009759596
Nice guy on the phone. Only a couple of questions about water supply. Short survey
Called at 7:45pm. Not acceptable!
OFWAT survey. All seemed legit.
Just missed this number call me but from the reports above I;d say genuine as Ive had a lot of contact with major work with DCWW recently so will answer if they call me again. As it turned out DCWW were really good!
Called saying survey on behalf of OFWAT. Polite and was fine when I said I didn’t have the time.
Survey for OFWAT
Calling on behalf of United Utilities, so appears undertaking surveys for more than just one Water Company.
Legitimate market research company, checked their website and with the market research society who are the regulator for market research companies .
Missed call today. Although it is an Edinburgh number rom comments aboe it is on behalf of Welsh Water. I live in Northamptonshire so dont understand why they would be calling me as its opposite side of the country

Cold call. I checked with my supplier Welsh Water who confirmed it was a genuine marketing call. I recommended to Welsh Water that their website should state that Accent make calls on their behalf. Otherwise Welsh Water will be wasting its money if recipients of call refuse to respond to the survey.
persistent silent calls
I was informed that the call was from a company, based in Edinburgh, contracted by Welsh Water to carry out customer surveys. I was asked for the first part of my postcode, after which the gentleman told me that they already appeared to have a sufficient sample of results from my postcode area. After apologies, call was terminated amicably. Seemed to be above board - no inference of any scam.
