Calls from this number scream scam right from the start, with persistent tactics to extract personal details under false pretences. Reports highlight callers posing as utility reps, pushing bogus plumbing cover deals while knowing partial bank info to build trust—classic impersonation ploy. Hang-ups on answer machines and threats of violence in one case amp up the red flags; it's aggressive stuff designed to pressure you. Block the number immediately, report to Action Fraud, and never share account details over unsolicited calls. Stick to verifying directly with official sources to safeguard your privacy and finances—better safe than sorry in these dodgy scenarios.
Issued threats of violence if I didn't join their plumbing scheme; notified authorities
Picked up the phone, but the person on the other end disconnected immediately
Caller disconnected as soon as I picked up
Phone muted it, blocked now – sorted.
Chatted with a man asserting he represented United Utilities regarding plumbing insurance, claiming lower monthly fees. Requested my account details, already had my sort code. Insisted relentlessly that it wasn’t private data. Ended the call on my refusal. I don’t believe I’m insured with them. Caution: they sound convincing.
Showed all the signs of a fraudulent call, so I didn't answer. The search verified what I thought
The caller disconnected once my answering machine kicked in. After checking reviews, it's clearly a con, so I've blocked them.
Appears to be a highly persuasive fraudulent line. Exercise extreme caution if engaging with it.
