Phone number ☎️ 01243256503 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number targeting UK residents with calls pretending to be from water companies like Welsh Water, South Staffs, Severn Trent, Bristol and Wessex Water. Callers use well-spoken English and personal details to sound credible, offering fake plumbing, heating, drainage or boiler insurance covers that recipients never signed up for. They often abruptly hang up when questioned about their identity or company and try to gather bank or policy info. Many have declined the offers, blocked the number, and warn others of the suspicious tactics including insistence on direct debits or pressuring to renew cancelled policies. The consensus is it’s a fraudulent operation resembling earlier scams, prompting calls for police investigation.

8 monthsI got a call from a bloke with a proper English accent, claiming his firm supplied my plumbing and heating stuff (which is odd, cause I already have a plumber and a maintenance guy). When I asked for more details about who he was and where he worked, he just cut the call suddenly...?8 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be Welsh Water asking about my bill.Welsh Water8 monthsThe caller spoke clear English and seemed to know my name and address. He claimed he could get us a better deal on plumbing insurance from his company. When I asked which company he was with, he just hung up! So clearly, it wasn’t our current provider. Reminded me of those Sky scams from years back. If I had kept talking, I’m sure he would have tried to get me to pay for a service that isn’t real. Be careful with anyone promising huge savings. This should be looked into by the police, it’s clearly a scam.8 monthsGot a call supposedly from South Staffs Water. They had my name and address and said some insurance I’d got with them was about to run out, asked if I wanted to renew it. I was pretty sure I never took any insurance with them so I said no, and the woman said she’d cancel it then. I ended the call. Felt a bit dodgy!South Staffs Water8 monthsDefinitely a scam, I told her to email me the details and she just hung up straight away.8 monthsGot a call around lunch on 27Oct'25, but as soon as I picked up, they just cut off straightaway. Decided to block the number after that.8 monthsGot a call outta the blue. They didn’t leave any voicemail.8 monthsthey said they were from bristol and wessex water, gave my address and kept saying i have drainage and boiler insurance with home uk, which they claim i paid for in a lump sum for 5 years. ive never had any insurance like that with anyone before. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SCAM. do not get tricked by it. ive blocked the number now.ive9 monthsGot loads of calls from this number, every time I try to ask who they are and what they want they just cut the call. Proper annoying!9 monthsIt showed up as maybe spam, so I didn’t pick up and decided to check it out here instead.9 monthsCalled phone spam hub and they just left me on hold, I could hear loads of the operators chatting away in the background. Proper annoying!9 monthsGot a call from a lady saying she was with Severn Trent Water offering a cheaper deal for pipe coverage and other damages. She said it was just £11.40 a month. I told her I’d never signed up for anything like that before, but she insisted I had a 3-year plan from 2022 that cost over £200. I said I’d check it out and asked her to phone back tomorrow. She already had all my info, like my full name and address. I’ve blocked the number now, will see if she rings again.Severn Trent Water9 monthsSome lady said she was calling from Southern Water to talk about my insurance with them. At first it seemed legit, but then she asked for my bank info which felt dodgy, so I just ended the call.Southern Water9 monthsGot a missed call from some spammy chichester number, looked it up and came up with nothing.9 monthsMy phone just rang and as soon as I picked up, they hung up.
