No such thing as the Waterboard
08.03.2010
If someone knocks on your door and says they need to come in because they're "from the Waterboard" please be very suspicious.
To check the identity of anyone who says "it's to do with water pipes" or "leaks" ring Anglian Water on freephone 0800 145 145.
As part of the Water UK campaign to raise awareness about distraction burglary where ‘waterboard’ has been used by criminals as a means of tricking their way into peoples homes, the telephone number 0800 145 145 has been set up to check the identity of any ‘‘waterboard’ doorstep caller.
