9 monthsGot a call from someone claiming my Anglian Water pipe cover needed renewing. They said I’d already paid for 3 years in one go and had to renew quickly to keep a big discount that was ’only for a limited time’. They even had my name and address, which made me wary since nobody pays that far ahead usually. When I hesitated and tried to buy some time, they got rude and accused me of making excuses, demanding my details.

Like 5 mins after I signed up with them, the junk calls began nonstop. This number said it was from sw. water saying I had to sort out insurance payments. They already had my full name, address, and dob. Basically, everything needed to scam me proper.Channel 49 monthsThis caller was telling me my water pipe cover had expired. I told them I never even got any cover in the first place. They claimed it was from last year via Northumbrian Water, which apparently works on its own now. I said I'd ring Northumbrian Water to verify and they just hung up straight away. She kept acting like I was daft, saying "oh bless" as if I’d lost my mind, which was really rude. Total scam, no doubt about it!Northumbrian WaterSubmit Your Own Report (01243 256493)
