A call claimed to be from Affinity Water, asked me to confirm my name, and hung up the moment I replied “yes”. I'm uneasy about any unseen agreement, so I’d recommend not engaging with such calls.

Expert Opinion
During a quiet afternoon in the home office, reports of unsolicited calls from this number raise red flags. Most describe callers impersonating Affinity Water staff, pushing free water efficiency checks or flow tests that legitimate utilities wouldn't cold-call about. Genuine companies like Affinity confirm no such outreach, marking these as classic scams to gain entry or extract details. Hangs-ups and no messages add to the harassment vibe. Block the number straightaway and report to Action Fraud if engaged. Never confirm your name or agree to visits—hang up and verify directly via official sites. Stay vigilant; these tactics prey on trust in essential services.
