Apparently "cambridgeshire County council" doing a survey... I don't like anywhere near
Call from Fieldlocker doing a survey for county council. After I had asked for details of the business she started asking me "demographic" questions - age, first half of postcode, employment status etc. And then she said they already had enough responses from people like me and that was that.
Claire on behalf of Cambridgeshire county council sounded like a automated system
Some local council survey. Suspicious. Very insistent young girl. I’d spilt water on the floor, genuinely, and that wasn’t a good enough reason to let me go! I hung up
Claimed to be calling with a survey on behalf of Cambridgeshire County Council . Accent was British but difficult to understand. Wanted to know my postcode which made me suspicious so I ended the call.
They claim to be working for the local council asking for feedback on a questionnaire and that I had won a voucher I guess they just wanted my bank details

business rate scam
They asked to speak to the business owner. i asked them who was calling, they said something I didnt understand what, so I asked them to repeat. They said it was a business rates company. When i said the business owner was not available the line went quiet. I hung up
They asked to speak with the business owner. When i asked where they are calling from and his name there was a long pause as if he didn't know what to say and when i asked the second time he said he is calling from business rates company and his name is Jay. He then ended the call and when i tried to call back the number was not "connected"
weird phone call and the guy just started swearing. 100% scam
