2 yearsThis number’s owner keeps sending me emails about some unpaid water charges, been happening quite a lot lately.2 yearsGot a text from UKSL about a Southern Water bill with a phone number and ref number. Checked up on UKSL and they’re actually debt collectors for Southern Water. Thing is, I don’t owe anything to them. I replied asking what they wanted and they asked for my first name. Told them it didn’t match their details and they insisted I call straight away. Pretty sure it’s a scam so I’ve blocked the number now.UKSLSouthern Water2 yearsPretending to be Southern Water, this scammer tried to contact me, so I reported it to Southern Water immediately. I used to be one of their customers and have no outstanding bills, so it’s clear this is a dodgy outfit attempting to scam people for cash and gather personal info. Whenever you spot something like this, it’s best to let the legitimate company know so they can look into it and hopefully stop these crooks.Southern Water3 yearsTotal con artist, absolute rip-off!3 yearsI've been bombarded with emails claiming that I have an outstanding debt, which simply isn’t the case. The messages are coming from UK Search Ltd, supposedly representing Anglian Water. After doing some digging on this site, it turns out it's just a scam!UK Search LtdAnglian Water3 yearsThis number keeps sending me emails but I’ve got a water direct debit set up so I’m definitely not behind on any payments. Plus, the address they mention isn’t even where I live. Honestly, just disregard it.3 yearsI got an email linked to this number that was meant for my husband, but I had no idea who it was from. Thank goodness I found this site to investigate it; turns out it was a scammer!3 yearsGot a call from 01246 488916 about an overdue water bill, but I already have it sorted as it comes straight out of my benefits each month. Bit annoying getting asked to pay again!UK3 yearsI got an email about some debt issue and they wanted me to ring them back. Luckily I checked the number first, or else I might've fallen for a scam. Good job I did a quick search!3 yearsI’ve been receiving persistent emails claiming that I have an outstanding debt, which is absolutely not the case. The messages are coming from UK Search Ltd, acting for Octopus. After doing a bit of digging on this site, it seems I've stumbled upon a total scam!UK Search LtdOctopus3 yearsTotally a scam, would avoid.4 yearsSo, I got an email sent to an old address of mine that I haven’t used in about 10 years, but it still got forwarded to my current inbox. It looked super official, telling me to ring them back, and if I wasn’t the person they were after, to call and unsubscribe or whatever. It caught my eye because about a year ago, I had an issue with UTILITA, the energy supplier, and the email subject was something like UTYLITAHIGH. It was signed off by someone called Jon Kirwin. Just putting this out there - be cautious with these sorts of messages!Jon Kirwin4 yearsI’m so happy I looked this up before anything else. Got a message from someone called Jon Kirwood, seemed proper official and all, but I pay every single bill on time so this felt dodgy straight away... guess it was a scam, sigh.Jon Kirwood4 yearsThis is clearly a con orchestrated by despicable lowlifes trying to pull a fast one. Best to steer clear of them or even notify the authorities about it.4 yearsI got an email scam the other day and was told to call back, but I didn’t.

The address they mention is somewhere I moved out of ages ago, plus the bill was never even registered in my name. Quite annoying!4 yearsGot an email saying I should ring a number about some unpaid debt, it came from uksearchlimited.com. Not sure if it's legit or just a scam. Just a heads up for anyone else getting the same.4 yearsGot a few emails from some bloke called “John Kirwin” and they somehow had my address, which was weird since I’ve never had money problems or debts. Knew straight away it was dodgy. Blocked ’em and reported as spam right away.John Kirwin4 yearsI replied to the message and they wanted me to give my full name, birthdate, and address. I was like, no chance. Asked who they were, but they refused to say unless I gave them my info first. I ended up ringing my housing association, and they said they never reached out to me and there’s no problems with my account.5 yearshey this number looks like a scam to me5 yearsI've been getting loads of emails from this number, which is linked to their email address. I definitely don't owe them anything, it's totally a scam. Best not to ring this number at all.5 yearsThis number's just fishing for live email addresses, probably from some data leak or something similar. They don’t really offer any useful info. Best thing to do is just block it straight away and don’t bother trying to unsubscribe or get in touch with them. Complete waste of time.5 yearsI received an email supposedly from a John Kirwin at uksearchitd claiming I owed money for electricity. They urged me to call a number or else I’d face legal trouble. Knowing how many scam emails flood my inbox, I immediately suspected something was off. The guy even gave me a separate number to stop receiving their messages.

It was signed by John Kirwin, who’s apparently the chief operating officer. But nowhere did it say what the emails were actually about. Bit confusing really.John Kirwin5 yearsI looked up the number because they never even said who they were on the phone. Their emails are pointless too, just asking me to confirm my name without giving any details. Definitely feels like a dodgy debt collector trying to scam.5 yearsI recieved an email from john kirwin via enquire@uksearchitd, but there was no info about what it was regarding. The number 01246 488916 was listed in the message.John Kirwin6 yearsThere’s this bloke called John Kirwin in the UK who emails saying he’s working for a water company. He claims you still owe money, but the weird thing is, they only get in touch through emails. Just be careful with those messages.John Kirwin6 yearsGot an email from UK Search Limited saying they’d listed my email as the contact for someone they only named by initial and surname. Problem is, it’s not me at all. They said if I don’t get in touch to say otherwise, they’ll keep using my email to reach that person. Bit of a nuisance really.UK Search Limited6 yearsGot a message asking me to verify my email and give them a ring about it. They mentioned my water company, but normally any emails from them come directly under their name, so this seemed off.Submit Your Own Report (01246 488916)
