Woman with accent says she is from some type of water check company , she had my name and said she was speaking to me today to organise a FREE WATER INSPECTION. Put phone down . Take care
English voice said he wanted to arrange a water efficiency survey. I replied that my water was already efficient and he rang off.
Called me and began asking me to confirm my name and address after mentioning Affinity Water. There is no legitimate reason for anyone to disturb someone and ask such questions. I would very much doubt whether this call is from Affinity water but if it is they should change their practises as it is not acceptable. I would treat such calls from this number as a potential scam or fraud.
I got a call from this number 10 times within 2 minutes did not answer I've tried to call back numerous times to see who it may be but no answer or anything. It's a scam it has to be do not bother answering.
Caller just hung up when I answered
I don't think this is a scam - it's part of the Save Our Streams initiative from Affinity Water offering water saving advice and home visits or virtual visits to help identify any leaks or issues with your water supply. The phone number is published on their website https://www.affinitywater.co.uk/saveourstreams/homevisits
Call said from Affinity Water and wanted to send someone round to show me how to save water. I said, in no uncertain terms, that nobody is coming here to show me how to use water. To which he replied Have A Nice day.

Incoming call to mobile while on silent. Left no message.
27/6/23 Received a call from an African lady claiming she was from Affinity water, She said Affinity Water were sending around engineers to do a carbon footprint measurement or something. Asked me to confirm my address for security purposes due to GDPR. I didn't give as I was suspicious. I called the 0808 175 0440 number from a different line and they answered as some affiliate of 'Affinity Water'. Definitely not Affinity Water. Avoid or hang up.
The lady named Mary, called me on wrong sir name, which I guess she found from my email address, but it wasn't my sir name, I heard her and before she asked me, I asked her to confirm my door number and postcode, by asking that she got frustrated, I could feel it in her change of tone, finally hung up.... They are scam.
said she was from Affinity water, She wanted access to my home, as far as I could make out but I couldnt understand most of what she was saying. I got the sense they're trying to force water metering ilegit as I questioned her where she got my number from she hung up.
