Expert Opinion

Ever wonder why a call pretending to be Thames Water feels suspicious? The number 0800 009 3651 is frequently used by fraudsters who mimic the utility’s branding to pressure victims into paying bogus bills or handing over personal data. Callers often claim missed payments, ask for account numbers, DOB or bank details, and then disappear or transfer you to an automated line. If you didn’t receive a recent water bill, hang up immediately, don’t share any information, and verify the call by contacting Thames Water through the official website or known customer service number. Block the number and report the scam to the UK’s Action Fraud centre.

Calls from Thames Water typically mean an overdue bill, but answering can be helpful. The staff are friendly and can even arrange a payment extension if needed.

448000093651 Harassment Call Thames Water

From the comments it seems likely that Thames Water is behind these calls; the number has been ringing repeatedly without leaving voicemails, presumably chasing a missed payment. I’m up to date except for one bill, yet they call several times a week. When I asked why I’m charged the same as a three‑bedroom property, they said it’s an estimate based on bedroom count because a meter couldn’t be installed under new rules. Two occupants don’t use as much water as three, so the estimate overcharges me – they might actually owe me money while still pursuing that single missed payment.
