24.01.2022 Weve received a report of an unidentified person knocking on a customers door to demand immediate eftpos payment of a water bill. When someone from SA Water ...or our contract partners visits your property we are in uniform and able to produce identification. Importantly, we never knock on your door to collect bill payments. Please be alert to this scam and report any suspicious behaviour to Crime Stoppers South Australia on 1800 333 000. Please share this advice with your friends and family.

24.01.2022 Scam callers are at it again - apparently - so just hang up! I unplugged our home phone 2 years ago because 100 calls out of 101 were from scammers. It was pea...ceful. I dont know where our home phone is any more! I left a recorded message saying we were no longer answering it, but to leave a message. I get an alert on my phone if there is one, and once every six to eight months I get to ring a genuine caller back! Sadly, they have found my mobile number. Took them a while, but two days in a row I have had them call and ask me about the car accident I had earlier this year - apparently they want to sue someone on my behalf. Just hang up! Stay safe out there. See more
