Phone number ☎️ 01243256390 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance from scam callers pretending to be utility or insurance companies, often mentioning emergency plumbing or contract renewals.

Got a missed call from a number almost identical to one I saw missed before. Looked it up here and decided to block and report it straight away.

Didn’t pick up when they rang me yesterday, and they didn’t bother leaving a voicemail either. After reading what others said, I’m pretty sure it’s a scam.

The call showed up as possible spam, so I just ignored it and blocked the number afterwards.

I've been getting loads of these dodgy calls lately, don’t really know why they keep ringing me with all this spam stuff.

Got a call today from 01243256390, the person said they were from United Utilities. It was Sunday and I could hear loads of noise like other people talking in the background. Something felt off straight away so I ended the call pretty quickly. Just had a look online and it seems a lot of others reckon it’s a scam too. Didn’t expect any calls like this so I’m guessing it’s dodgy and could be risky. Would be careful if you get a call from them.

Got a call from someone pretending to be my bank, but as far as I know, banks don't actually ring you up like that. Definitely a scam.

Got one of those silent calls on my mobile again. Looks like another dodgy scam, just like others have been warning about. Blocked it straight away.

Got a call and they wanted to talk to a Mr North - thats not me tho. I said "this is he," and then they just dropped the call. Blocked the number right away.

Got a call from 01243 256390 saying they were Anglian Water about some emergency plumbing at my house. They mentioned that my direct debit was ending and asked about the amount I was paying, but I never set up a DD with them anyway. Seemed genuine at first, but then they asked for my bank info, which felt really dodgy.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with the water company about renewing some emergency cover. They kept telling me my existing 3-year plan was ending and that the cost was rising each month. When I told them I never signed up for anything like that, they kept pushing it but then suddenly cut the call. I phoned back but no one picked up. Quite suspicious if you ask me.

I picked up but they just ended the call straight away. After seeing this, I reckon it’s one of those dodgy water company scams.

So this girl called me and asked if I was "...". For some reason, I said yes even though it sounded a bit weird. Right after I said that, she just ended the call straight away!

Someone said they were from my plumbing insurance, but I don't have any, so I just ended the call.

Got a call from this number on my mobile. The phone flashed a scam warning so I just ignored it. I'm thinking I'll block it now.

The number popped up as likely spam and the bloke asked if I was (my name). I asked who he was, and when I questioned why it was showing as spam, he started rambling some nonsense about it being because I hadn’t saved him in my contacts 😂. He claimed to be from Welsh Water and said my emergency plumbing cover was due for renewal. I told him I didn’t have any cover with them, but he insisted, “I’m certain you do.” I just laughed at that and he tried to say all he could do was cancel it - by then I was well over it and just hung up 😄.
