Warning of sex survey scam

Hello all, I am writing to warn all students of a sexual health survey scam going on, this has happened to me and others I know and it seems this nan has been doing it for years…

A caller with no caller ID claiming his name is Martin will say he works for NATSAL and Brook (both sexual charitys) and is conducting a national survey for sexual attitudes and lifestyles; the questions will be standard at first like asking name age etc, but then he gets very inappropriate and will Bombard with calls.
Stay safe everyone

Hi, I am a journalist writing for the Londoner News site. I am currently investigating the exact story that you described - people receiving harassing calls from a man named Martin pretending to conduct surveys of a sexual nature.

I would be very interested in talking to you about this as an example of someone affected. This problem seems to have been ongoing for a long time and I think it deserves more attention from media/police. If you would be willing to answer some questions on this please let me know!
