AI Summary
Based on 1 community report
Calls from this Sheffield-based number are a bank-details scam. A single report describes someone claiming to be from United Utilities and trying to renew a direct debit for insurance, then pressuring for bank details. The caller had the sort code but not the account number and tried to move the conversation to written paperwork; a 'manager' and later a 'higher manager' followed, with escalating persistence. With only one report and no upvotes, confidence is limited, and the 80/100 spam score suggests a high risk scam. Be cautious: Do not share bank details over the phone, and end the call. If you’ve already disclosed information, contact your bank immediately and report the incident to the appropriate authorities.

1 totalSaid they were calling from United Utilities to renew the direct debit for insurance. then said the insurance company was linked to United Utilities. Wanted my bank details. They had my sort code but not the account number. I declined to provide it saying I wanted details by letter. Was transferred to a 'manager'. I continued to decline and asked for written details. Call terminated after the manager agreed to write. Further call 5 minutes later from a 'higher manager' who had listened in to the earlier call. Paperwork could not be sent without my account number. Eventually, he became very argumentative so I terminated the call.
