Expert Opinion

Calls arriving uninvited often mask urgent pitches for plumbing or drainage cover, pretending ties to water firms like Welsh Water or Thames Water. Scammers probe for personal details, claiming renewals on policies you've never held, then hang up when challenged. Persistent ringing, with slight number tweaks, suggests evasion of blocks—classic harassment tactic. Block immediately and log with Action Fraud to curb the hassle. If they know your name or address, verify independently through official channels, never share info. Hang up firmly on suspicious claims; these nuisances thrive on confusion but falter against scepticism.
