Is this a scam? Im abit worried now....

It's still happening guys so please beware, I got a call today from a private no to say I have won a water purifier valued at $400 + and only have to pay for the first cartridge of $134.95 for the first 12 months. I told him I would have to confirm with my partner first and asked for his no and his name is Rob gave me this no to call back on
1300 009 308 sounds familiar anyone?

Sick to death of this company hassling my family, get a life guys and a real job.

Just got same call. Don't even think I did a survey. I don't recall but usually never do them.

It is most definitely a scam. I recieved a call from Kevin saying all of the above - free purifier, pay for filter after 2 weeks, "personal number" 1300 009 308, reference number blah, blah. Tried to say no but they were very pursuasive. Even checked the Pure Water Systems website and they talked me through it making it seem legit - not hard to look at a website and tell you what you want to hear.
This all stemmed from a survey call a week or so ago.
The number that called me was a private number - very odd in itself.
Watch out anyone who did this. Cancel your card and report to your bank about this ASAP.

please stop calling me, I have had enough. Your pentair housings are made in china and carry a health warning label about may cause cancer and reproductive harm etc

I had this lady call multiple times a week for a few months saying the same re: water system and to pay for a cartridge.
I ignored it for a while and then blocked it.

so is this PWS DODGY?

For those that gave their details, did they follow through, did they take more than what was promised???

This scam is still going on. I just got a phone call today and said I have won a purified water system which cost $400+ but I just have to pay $134 for the cartridge filter. I don't know why I gave my credit card number as they are very persuasive. After I read all these comment, I quickly cancelled my credit card, and I will not going to answer their phone call. I hope they won't be able to find me.

Worked at PWS Part time for 4 years..Now in Mining thankgod..Relocate is all i can say to telemarketers..

Yes this is still happening. I got the same call saying they have a water purifier for me. I never asked for a one. It's the same number they ask to call 1300 009 308. (Oct 2015)

I also just received the call saying I'd won a purifier and had to pay $134 for a 12 month water filter. Her name was Tracie she told me about boiling lemons in the kettle before used the purifier for the first time so make sure that it was purified from all the toxins that would have built up in it... Didn't give my credit card details but asked for more info to be emailed through first. She said she would email it through but received nothing. Got a missed call and voice mail today asking if i'd received the info and to call them back on a 1300 number. Hmmm... suspicious...

They are called pure water systems and the owner name is graham lewin. He is a con man that used to sell kirby vacums and insurance. Everything they tell you is lies. There products are chinese made and overpriced by 400%. Stop callling my home or else

This scam is still going on!! When they first called a few weeks ago the lady didnt even introduce herself and the company etc and started a survey. Today I got the private number call saying I had won with needing to pay for the first filter etc.. Give it a break guys! Everyone is onto you.

Dont purchase the under sink model, they are from china and leach toxins into your water

Yes, just had the same call...Has anyone actually installed this system?

My partner filled out a survey and also won a free $130 water filter tap which he does not want as it sits on the bench and not under the sink however we could pay another $150 and they can put it under the bench. They said but the cooling off has passed but under consumer law Australia telemarketing and cooling off periods require a contract to be signed by both parties and this did not happen. Off to Consumer Business Affairs we go. This is a scam for sure.

Beware of this. It's a scam and still going. Today(22 September 2014) I have received a call from a lady telling me the same things the above folks have mentioned. Earlier this month I have received a phone call from them asking for a survey and not to worry he is not going to sell me anything. Very sneaky indeed.. Anyhow the lady today told me that I have won a water filter for a water purifying system valued at $400.00 +. All I need to do is pay 137 dollars. I told her I don't need this as we have a hydrotap water system at home valued at 4000.00 so we don't need this. I am a firm believer in 'if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is' - I jumped online to see if there are any warnings about it and came across this website. Very clever and sneaky indeed.

This is a total scam, the system is only worth $100 at best. They have called from a private number and gave me a number to call back which was the 1300 number. I looked at the test results on the pure water website that they claim are for there CC1E water filter cartridge but right there in black in white it states another filter was tested that was made to the same formula as their filter. What a load of rubbish. Something should be done about how this company operates.
