I did not answer this call because I did not recognize the number and do not know anyone in Torquay. The number began with an (03) area code, which raised my suspicions since genuine mobile numbers usually do not include an area code; they just present the mobile number alone.

This number is definitely a scam. Just for the record, anyone claiming to conduct market research should have a legitimate message or communicate directly. It seems like this is just a tactic used by scammers to verify if they can reach someone before bombarding them with unwanted calls in the near future.
