Letter Delivered In Belper Area Purporting To Be From Severn Trent
Derbyshire County Council’s Trading Standards Service has received an enquiry from a member of the public in the Belper area who has received a letter purporting to be from Severn Trent.
The letter was hand-delivered through the letterbox, with the person’s address freshly hand-written, and asked for the person’s details (including date of birth) in order to set up the account for the water rates.
The letter carried a poorly-copied Severn Trent logo at the top.
Severn Trent plc has confirmed they do not hand-deliver letters to customers and this is not their correspondence.
Derbyshire County Council’s Trading Standards Service would urge people not to respond to any unusual post without checking with their utility provider first. To do so, please use the official contact details found on their website or previous bills.
If you do receive something similar, please report it to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or at the following link: https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/
