Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise and my phone flagged it as a potential scam so I just ignored it. Then on the 12th of January, another call came through from the same area code but with the last three digits changed slightly. The latest number was 01243 256420, and the previous one was 01243 256390. Watch out for these sorts of callers, they’re definitely not to be trusted!

Got a call saying it was Thames Water about some drainage cover that needed renewing. I told them the number showed up as a possible scam, and that we'd get in touch with Thames Water ourselves. Then I just hung up.

They said they were calling from SES Water, trying to verify that all was fine since our cover was supposedly due for renewal. Problem is, we don't even have any cover with them. So I just ended the call.
