See who's calling

M&S Customer service scam call, rang every 3 minutes for over an hour.

Robo call said it was wessex water. On our landline first announced there would be a text. Then came the read out text. Fire hydrants in use. Water to homes may be discoloured. Please acknowledge by pressing 1. Sounds very suspicious.

Didn't answer but then did internet search to check whether number safe or not and found these comments. Even if it were Wessex Water, that number oughtn't to be calling a household in Scotland, so, on the basis of the two previous comments, I suspect it's a scam. I've also just checked on my own water supplier's website to see if there's any mention of a water-quality problem - and there's not (so far).

This was a genuine call from Wessex Water reporting a potential water supply in my area (which didn't actually affect me though). I called Wessex Water to check and they confirmed that this method of a recorded message (robot) was used to tell multiple customers of an issue. I was also able to check the website and see the incident in my area.

Robot left message on answer device (unusual, they always hang up when detect answer service) 09: 19 G.M.T. 26-12-21. It 'Reported' there had been an incident in my area which could result in cloudy water; then asked me to press key 1 to confirm I had received message, also informed I was not obliged to do this. It carried on to elaborate : Fire appliances had been using fire hydrants in my area, this could affect water quality.................. Then asked me to key 1 followed by # ; this last
