Hello were are asking you to take part in a survey for Blackburn with Darwen Council. I hung up.

Which local authority employes people on a Saturday afternoon, and not only that, but rings numbers outside Blackburn with Darwen area.

Somebody trying a scam or what. anyone else had this.

Retlaw
On Monday morning ring the council offices on 585585 and ask for Member Services, then ask to be put through to any of the Executive Members that are in the offices. Ask them if they have commissioned a survey. If there are no Exec members present I would ask for Colin Rigbys secretary, she is usually very helpful and reliable.

This needs taking further as it could be a scam.
