Caller said he was from Thames Water, that my plumbing was under contract with them and due for renewal at a discounted rate. All good so far. He knew my name and address and then asked me for my bank sort code. I refused to give it to him and when he asked why, I said he called me, I was trusting who he said he was but I never give my bank details over the phone. He became aggressive and said I couldn’t get the discount without confirming my bank details…he said he could give me the sort code - again my answer was NO. He swiftly hung up on me. Good riddance!

Said he was from northumbria water (my supplier) informed me that our plumbing and repair policy was about to expire and did I want to renew! Apparently I paid up front in 2022 for this! No idea that I had but obviously I asked too many questions because he hung up on me. I'm thinking this was a scam?
