01243256385 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01243256385 👆 is reported as a nuisance and likely scam call, often claiming to be from water or plumbing insurance providers. Callers use familiar personal details to appear legitimate, but genuine companies communicate through official letters or emails and provide policy documentation. Many recipients experience silent calls, hang-ups, or no message left. It is advised not to respond to unknown numbers and to block the calls, although blocking alone does not prevent future scams from different numbers. Reporting these calls to official UK authorities, such as via text to 7726 or through dedicated online reporting systems, helps combat and track scam activity. Users are encouraged to remain vigilant, avoid sharing personal details, and report any suspicious contact promptly.

Someone rang up saying our 3-year plumbing and water cover needed renewing. They said it wasn’t set up on direct debit. They knew my name and where I live and claimed we paid £190 a few years back. We told them we had no clue about any such policy but asked them to send us something in writing, which they agreed to do. Feels dodgy to me, like they’re fishing for card details over the phone. Real insurance companies always send policy documents by post or email, not just ring out of the blue.

Picked up the phone but there was loads of noise in the background so I just hung up.

I picked up and it was just dead quiet for ages. Ended up blocking the number.

Got a call from an unknown number, but didn’t get any voicemail. Never heard of the place they mentioned, Chichester, and I’ve never been there either. Pretty sure it’s dodgy, so I’ve just blocked the number.

I got a call about renewing plumbing and drainage insurance supposedly from Bristol Water. Since I’ve never actually had any service with them, I’m pretty sure it’s just a scam.

Got a call from Chichester at around 11:45 this morning, caught me off guard completely so I just ignored it.

Today, the number 01243256385 called me at about 11:20 in the morning (6/2/26). When I picked up, there was silence on the other end for a few seconds before they just disconnected without saying anything!

Got a call from 01243 256385 but I have my phone set to block anyone not in my contacts. So I never got to hear who it was or what they were after. They didn’t say anything or leave a message, just didn’t pass the screening. Bit annoying really!

I didn’t pick up since the number looked unfamiliar to me.

Got a call from 01243256385 and all I got was silence before they just cut the call after a couple of seconds. Bit strange.

Never heard of anyone from Chichester ringing me before. Most likely a sales call or some sort of scam, but since they left no voicemail, I’m leaning towards it being a scam.

Wasn’t home when the phone buzzed and didn’t recognise the number, so I just figured it was some telemarketer or something.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Portsmouth Water, wanting to chat about some Home Cover thing I've supposedly had with them for three years. Never signed up for anything like that!

This number has been ringing me quite a bit lately. Once, when I answered, there was just silence on the other end. Still not sure who or where they’re calling from.
