Water Bill Scam Alert!
Summary — +441722466359
Expert Opinion
Have you ever picked up to a caller who seems to know just enough about your bills to sound legitimate? Reports indicate this number often masquerades as reps from water utilities like Wessex Water or Severn Trent, pushing fake renewals or cover updates to extract personal details. In one instance, the caller hung up abruptly when challenged; in another, they pressed for sort codes before disconnecting. An answering machine message points to a marketing outfit, but the persistent, evasive tactics scream scam. Hang up immediately if they probe for financial info—never share over the phone. Verify directly with your provider using official channels. Block the number and report to Action Fraud for good measure. Stay vigilant; these fraudsters prey on trust.

When I called back, the answering machine identified the caller as a marketing firm, so I blocked the line.
They rang as a business, said nothing, and then hung up – clearly spam.
Someone pretended to be Severn Trent about a renewal, chatted briefly then cut off when we refused to give sort codes or account numbers – classic dangerous scam, right?
A man claimed to represent Home Cover for my Wessex Water service, mentioned unlimited call‑outs, then abruptly hung up after saying I wasn’t covered.
