Oddly enough, these so-called leak alerts from Thames Water often turn out to be clever ploys rather than genuine concerns. Recipients report receiving leaflets or messages claiming a suspected water leak, urging property access for inspections—classic hallmarks of a potential scam. Such tactics prey on worries about home maintenance to gain entry or extract details. Don't let anyone in without official verification; contact Thames Water directly via their verified number on the website or bill to confirm. Hang up on unsolicited calls and report suspicious activity to Action Fraud. Staying vigilant keeps scammers at bay without disrupting your day.
I received a similar offer to the earlier post, accompanied by a leaflet claiming I have a leak – quite odd.
I didn't dial them, yet a Thames Water message arrived claiming a possible leak and requesting property access for inspection.
