Some bloke with an English accent rang me up, saying I’d taken out a pipe and drainage insurance policy with Anglian Water. When I probed, he insisted I’d paid a lump sum back in 2022. Thing is, I’ve never had any such insurance. He did know my full name and address though. Calls like this really wind me up.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from Severn Trent Water about renewing pipe and drain insurance. Thing is, I've never taken out any insurance like that. I played along for a bit before telling them I wasn’t falling for their scam. What worried me was that they had my phone number and name, but the address they mentioned was my dad's. I do help him with online stuff, so maybe that's how they got info. The moment they asked for bank details, I knew for sure it was dodgy.

Pretty sure it’s just another water firm scam, same as the ones mentioned already. Wouldn’t trust it at all.

I barely had a chance to say hello before they hung up - straight to BLOCKED from me!

Beware of scammers pretending to sell bogus insurance policies. Never pick up calls from unknown numbers! If you get suspicious calls, make sure you report them to the police or Ofcom through their official channels. You can text details of the call, even silent ones, including the number, to 7726. Follow any prompts to confirm your report. Also, use your phone’s spam reporting feature for both calls and texts. For scam texts, forward them to 7726, report them as spam, and email a screenshot to '[email protected]'. Check out the results yourself.

If I don’t recognise the number, I just don’t pick up! Seems like there’s loads of scams flying about lately, guessing it’s one of those again...

Got a call from a number I didn't recognise, so I just let it ring out. Most likely just some scammer trying their luck again...

Got a call saying I had a policy due for renewal with Wessex Water. When I started asking questions, they just ended the call. Definitely a scam!

Someone rang claiming I had a policy with Severn Trent. When I said I hadn’t, she told me I must’ve started it in 2023. I told her that wasn’t true and then she just hung up on me.

Got a call from someone claiming I had a water pipe insurance policy with Severn Trent that needed renewing. Thing is, I've never had any policy with them at all.
