Wiltshire Council make warning of scam housing phone calls

Tuesday, 29 July 2025 06:05

Wiltshire Council are reminding residents to stay alert after reports of scam phone calls.

Several residents have reported suspicious contact from individuals claiming to represent Wiltshire Council, particularly regarding housing complaints or repairs.

These calls often come from mobile numbers, mention vague 'urgent issues' and provide no clear justification.

If you're not sure whether a call is genuine, it's okay to end the call and check with Wiltshire Council directly.

For peace of mind, use only Wiltshire Council's official housing repairs number or email: 0300 456 0117 (option 2) / housingrepairs@wiltshire.gov.uk
