Scammers posing as “water board” employees have been spotted in Surbiton, according to police.
The bogus callers are criminals who try to gain access to steal from people’s homes by posing as the employees of utilities companies. More than 50 per cent of the con artists claim to be from the “water board,” according to a Thames Water spokesman.
People are advised not to keep large amounts of cash at home, to examine any caller’s identification cards and to be aware that the water board no longer exists.
