"0800 009 3806 called at 8.15 am. Didn't answer because companys don't usually call customers until 9.00am but I know this number gets used by scammers pretending to be Thames Water. TW is managed so badly they get cyber-security problems. Customer information isn't safe which is why their CEO Chris Weston has the nerve to want a bonus of £193,000 on top of his £1 million pay this year. Bonus for what? increasing customers bills and making our water dirty. So there's no point telling TW about this, they dont care. Just dont answer 0800 numbers."
