6 monthsSomebody rang me about a drains and pipes cover I supposedly had, but honestly, I’ve never signed up for anything like that. Told them I don’t have any cover at all.7 monthsThis afternoon I got a ring on my phone from someone saying they were from Thames Water. They started chatting about my insurance for pipes and drains, asking if anything was wrong. I told them I never took out any pipe or drain cover with them. They insisted I’d had a policy for three years and said it was now only £11.99 a year. I corrected them, saying I’ve never had any insurance with Thames Water, and then they just cut me off. The bloke spoke really well, sounded quite posh too. Just a heads up to be careful!Thames Water8 monthsI usually dont pick up calls from numbers I dont recognise. If it’s important, they’ll leave a voicemail, then I’ll listen and call back if necessary.8 monthsWatch out for Utilities Scan, it’s something you want to steer clear of! ####8 monthsI usually ignore calls from unfamiliar numbers, so I didn’t pick up when this one came through.

Feels like a scam to me.8 monthsI got a call from 01243 256421, claiming to be Severn Trent Water from Chichester. The lady on the phone was really hard to understand. I told her to speak with my husband, since he handles the water bills, then she just ended the call. Just so you know, Severn Trent has never had my mobile number before.Severn Trent WaterChichesterSevern Trent8 monthsThey rang but didn’t say anything or leave a message.
