In Chichester this afternoon, reports of unsolicited calls from an unfamiliar number have surfaced, leaving many puzzled. Most recipients note no message left and no local connections, sparking caution. One claim points to Yorkshire Water about a supposed contract expiry, yet the caller lacks ties to West Sussex, hinting at potential scam tactics. Advise screening unknown calls via apps, registering with the Telephone Preference Service to curb nuisances, and never sharing details without verification. If persistent, report to Action Fraud for investigation. Staying vigilant protects against fraudsters exploiting trust.
I received a mobile call from a Chichester number I don’t recognise, not saved in my contacts and I have no acquaintances there. No voicemail was left. I haven’t blocked it yet, pending any further calls to decide if it’s a scam.
I also got a call with no message left; I only know one person in Chichester and it’s a mobile, so I didn’t answer.
A call claimed to be from Yorkshire Water about my contract ending, but I have no such contract.
I never picked up and have no idea who the number belongs to.
