They called me from Chichester then ended the call right away and phoned back immediately. There wasn’t a voicemail left, so I’ve blocked the number now.

I saw a missed call from this number and decided not to pick up. Later, I checked it online and realised it was one of those dodgy plumbing scams.

No matter how many times I block those numbers, I still get calls coming through from Chichester. It's really annoying!

Got a call in Nov 2025 about renewing some plumbing cover. I live in a park home and know the site owner is in charge of the outside pipes, so straight away I was suspicious. When the bloke started asking for my bank details I just told him to jog on. I'm 71 but not daft enough to fall for that. Total scammers they are.

Somebody rang me, said they're from United Utilities and really wanted me to say who I was. When I didn’t give them my details, they just hung up on me.

Got a call from a Chichester number, claiming to be Yorkshire Water saying my cover had run out. Thing is, I don't even have any cover with them. Pretty clear it was a scam.

This was definitely a scam. The caller was trying to sell me something and just wouldn’t stop pestering me. I ended up hanging up and then blocking the number.

Got a call claiming to be Thames Water about renewing my pipes or something similar. I don’t even have any subscription like that. Definitely sounds like a scam to me.

Total scam. They called saying my pipe insurance needed renewal, but I don't even have one. I rent from the council and they always deal with the pipes.

Got a ring from someone claiming to be from the water company in my area, asking if I want to keep the insurance for my plumbing and pipes. She then said the payment method had switched to a monthly direct debit and asked for my bank details. Obviously, I told her no way. She kept insisting it was legit and that sharing my info was safe, but I wasn’t convinced at all. Just to be clear, I don’t have any kind of external coverage on my pipes anyway.

Got a call about renewing a plumbing insurance policy that we definitely dont have, seems like a total scam to me.

Got a call from some water service, no idea which one, asking if I fancied renewing my water pipe cover. They wanted my card details and said the policy lasted three years - said I’d last sorted this in 2022! I told them I needed to check my papers and asked for a callback number. They said there wasn’t one and they’d ring me when it suited. I asked a couple more times for a number and then the line just went dead. Definitely feels like a scam...

Got a call from a Chichester number but didn't have a clue who it was. Decided not to pick up. No message was left on my voicemail. After reading the notes here, happy I didn't answer. I've gone ahead and blocked that number now.

Picked up a call from a number I didn’t recognise, but there was nothing but silence before they just hung up. Feels like it was a scam to me.

Got a call saying I had insurance on my internal pipes and outside ones too. They told me I actually signed up three years ago and that today was my last chance to renew with a supposed special deal. But I never even bought any cover back then. Felt like a complete con to me.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with a utility firm I’d never heard of, telling me my plumbing cover was about to expire today. I told them I didn’t remember signing up for anything like that and just hung up. Pretty clear that was a scam.
