A female caller said she worked for Home Cover in partnership with Yorkshire Water and that my cover had expired today. She explained it covered drains and pipework, and that the monthly price had dropped to £11.90. According to her, I had taken a three‑year plan in 2022 with a one‑off fee and that payments were now only via Direct Debit. I pointed out that I didn't reside at the property in 2022, so the claim made no sense. This sounded like a scam.

Expert Opinion
Approach calls like this with utmost caution, as they often masquerade as legitimate services to extract personal details. These reports consistently describe fraudulent pitches from fake water company reps pushing drain or home cover insurance, complete with invented policy histories and urgent renewals. The abrupt disconnections and mismatched details scream scam tactics, designed to pressure quick decisions. No genuine utility ever demands immediate payments over the phone for such add-ons. Block the number straight away, report it to Ofcom or Action Fraud, and double-check any real insurance directly with your provider. Staying vigilant avoids unnecessary headaches.
