Expert Opinion

This number belongs to a scam operation impersonating water companies to peddle fake insurance policies. Callers falsely claim you're due for renewal on drainage or plumbing cover, citing bogus past payments to pressure you into signing up. Hang-ups and silent calls are common tactics to annoy or probe. Don't engage—scammers fish for personal details or payments. Block the number immediately, report it to Action Fraud or your phone provider, and never share info over unsolicited calls. If concerned about real insurance, contact your legitimate provider directly via official channels. Staying vigilant keeps these nuisances at bay.
