They claimed to have worked for Northumbrian Water and that I’d bought drain cover three years ago with a one‑off fee, now due for renewal – I’ve never heard of it.
Utility Scam: Guard Your Bank Details
Summary — +441722466403
Expert Opinion
Calls from this number often start with a silence or hang-up, leaving recipients unsettled. Surprisingly, some interactions reveal a polished script where callers claim affiliation with water utilities like Thames Water or former Northumbrian Water, referencing fictitious policies for drain cover bought years ago. They push for bank details confirmation, blending friendliness with urgency to seem legitimate. This pattern screams scam, designed to exploit trust in essential services. Hang up immediately if such claims arise—never share financial info. Report to Action Fraud and block the number to avoid repeats. Stay vigilant; these nuisances prey on the unaware.
