Calls from this number often masquerade as representatives from water companies like Thames Water or Severn Trent, pushing unnecessary drainage insurance or debt relief services. Recipients report rude behaviour, abrupt hang-ups, and pressure tactics that scream scam. One caller even switched scripts mid-conversation, a classic red flag for fraudsters fishing for personal details. In the UK, genuine firms don't hassle like this—always verify independently via official channels. Hang up immediately on unsolicited pitches; report to Action Fraud if details were shared. Block the number to avoid repeat nuisances, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service for fewer cold calls.

A representative from Severn Trent phoned about plumbing and drainage insurance; after I mentioned we are council tenants, she abruptly ended the call without apology—rude.
