Expert Opinion
Never answer calls that claim to be Yorkshire Water unless you verify the source. Imposters often ask you to press 1 or 2 to repeat a bogus message, hoping you’ll disclose personal details or make a payment. Let the call go to voicemail, then cross‑check any alleged outage on the official Yorkshire Water website or by calling the known customer service number. Verify the caller’s identity, block the number on your device, and report the incident to the Information Commissioner’s Office or Action Fraud. Staying cautious stops scammers from exploiting genuine water‑service concerns.
