Honestly, I don't think this was legit. They called me on my work phone and there was no reason to call me about "feedback" with anything. As i only talk to clients. the person also sounded sketchy and no one else would have my work number unless it was given out to someone who isnt trustworthy. I personally think this was to get more information out of me

This number called me to conduct a survey about my smart meter on behalf of Accent Market Research. The caller was polite & friendly. She clearly explained who the company was, the purpose of the research, and reassured me that it was a genuine research call rather than a sales call.
