1 yearI got two calls today from someone named ‘Tom Smith’ claiming to be from Pioneer, wanting to talk to the CEO about some email supposedly sent by them. If that were true, he’d surely know the CEO’s name properly and probably have their direct number. When we mentioned this on the second ring, he got a bit rude then just ended the call. He wouldn’t explain what the call was about or why it was important to connect him.Tom SmithPioneerTom1 yearKeeps phoning to set up a meeting, really won’t take no for an answer.1 yearI had a bloke named Patrick Winton from Pioneer ring me up, and when I told him we don't deal with unasked-for calls, he lost it pretty quick. He started banging on about spending his cash somewhere else - like I cared. You could hear the usual call centre racket behind him. Honestly, the faster these cold callers get stroppy and try to intimidate the front desk, the more obvious it is they're just dodgy telemarketers.Patrick WintonPioneer1 yearWe kept getting calls from some Laura Smith, who had apparently also looped in my manager via email. Took quite a while, but eventually I called her out on all the fibs she was telling. Total scammer, best just to block and not deal with her at all.Laura Smith1 yearLike many here, I’m not convinced 'pioneer’ is legit at all. Sounds shady to me.Pioneer1 yearAvoid picking up if this number rings you, it's just some pushy salespeople and they come off really cheeky and disrespectful.1 yearToday I got two calls from someone named 'Maria Clark' asking for the director, saying 'he’ll know who I am'. Since he wasn’t around, they didn’t get through. After checking the comments here, looks like this number is probably being blocked.Maria Clark1 yearSomeone called me claiming to be Tom Smith from this company called Pioneer. Said he was following up on an email supposedly sent by our CEO, which totally wasn’t true. When I asked what the call was regarding, he wouldn’t say a word and as soon as I pressed him for answers, he just hung up on me.Tom SmithPioneer1 yearI was asked to get the MD by name, and when I said I'd talked to him before, they refused to say anything else. When I kept asking, they said they were from some firm called Pioneer. After that, they got quite rude and pushy when I asked why they were calling. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now!Pioneer1 yearWe keep getting calls from this one company pushing HiHi phone systems on our business. They keep saying there’s been some kind of upgrade to the network or that we qualify for an upgrade or something like that. No matter how many times we say no or ask them to stop calling, they still ring up at least once every week. It’s really frustrating...1 yearSome bloke called "tom smith" said he was ringing for himself but wouldn't say why. He kept asking for our CEO, messing up their name, and said the CEO was busy on the line. Then he claimed he was one of our clients and wanted my name like he was gonna complain. We don’t have any clients at all, so I just ended the call.Tom Smith1 yearI had a really bad run-in with a woman who was super rude from the start. She told me she wasn’t going to answer the phone and then hung up. What shocked me more was when she called again just to complain about how impolite we were towards her. Told you, she’s going straight on the block list!1 yearGot a call from someone saying his name was Matthew Smith, asking for the MD specifically by name. He mentioned he was from Pioneer and reckoned the boss would know him, so he wanted to be put straight through. I told him the MD wasn't around and he could ring back later. Definitely planning to block that number.Matthew SmithPioneer2 yearsGot a call from some bloke who was really rude, asking if he could speak to our Director. I said he wasn’t in at the moment. He claimed he’d already emailed him. When I asked which email he used, he got all defensive and refused to say. Then he had the nerve to call me rude for just checking if he’d got the right email! Some people honestly act like we’ve never dealt with this kind of thing before! Complete muppets.2 yearsWe got a call at the office from someone called Laura, though I’m not sure if that’s her true name. She said she knew the MD, but when we pressed for details, she only gave us the company name “Pioneer” after asking her a couple of times. She kept dodging our questions and then abruptly ended the call when we called her out on it. Seems like they’re using the same spiel on every business. Laura, if you happen to see this, you seriously need to work on your sales techniques.LauraPioneer2 yearsGot a call from some bloke called Matthew at Pioneer, claiming he was in a chat with my MD about consultancy stuff. Total lie. Crikey, these annoying calls keep coming, and they’re constantly trying to sneak past me to reach the big boss. Seriously, why do these cold callers reckon they can just ring up someone at that sort of seniority? It’s baffling.MatthewPioneer2 yearsI got a call from someone called Grace at Pioneer, she kept acting like she was an old mate and wanted to chat with one of the directors. When I asked her what it was actually regarding, she kept hesitating and couldn’t really explain what the call was about!GracePioneer2 yearsLaura Jones Someone dodgy was phoning the MD, pretending to be a close mate. When they got asked tough questions, they just started dodging and getting all defensive. Thought it best to leave a note that this call happened.Laura Jones2 yearsGot a call from someone called Hayley at ‘Pioneer’ - she barely said much, just kept trying to get to the MD. Honestly, just hung up, wanted her to buzz off!HayleyPioneerMD3 yearsGot a call from someone named Harry Clark who was asking for our Managing Director. He sounded like he knew her, but when I double checked with the firm and said 'Pioneer', he suddenly said she’d just arrived at the office and asked if he could ring back later. Then, out of the blue, he just disconnected the call!Harry ClarkPioneer3 yearsSome bloke from Broadband telephone systems rang me up claiming he’d emailed and chatted with me ages ago, apologising for not getting back sooner cos he’d been really busy. I couldn’t remember ever having a word with him. He was pretty insistent, so I told him we’d hold off for now since there’s no hurry. That didn’t go down well and he started pushing for a rep to visit in a couple of days. I got a bit sharp with him and he just got more wound up, so I ended the call. Honestly, I doubt he was legit.3 yearsWhen I told him I wasn't interested, he ended up getting really annoyed.3 yearsTome Smith got in touch with us, saying he had a chat with the MD a few months back about some business stuff. He mentioned he’d be sending an email to the MD soon.Tome SmithMD3 yearsAnswered a call from someone called "Harry" who claimed to know the MD. I wasn’t impressed and pretty sure I told him off good, don’t reckon he’ll ring me again. Seems a bit shady, so best steer clear of it.Harry3 yearsYeah so it was this bloke called Freddie from Pioneer who rang me up. He told me about something but then said the MD would be the one who knew more about it. I’m pretty sure it was just a scam though, don’t buy it.FreddiePioneer3 yearsToday, a bloke named Freddie Wilson gave our firm a ring. He was asking for one of the Directors and even called them by their first names. When I asked which company he was with, he said Pioneer. I then asked what exactly they do, and he mentioned something about business infrastructure. When I pressed him for more details, he replied that it was too complex for me to get and insisted he had to talk to a director.Freddie Wilson3 yearsThis caller was quite persistent and spoke really well, but refused to share their own name, number, or purpose of the call. They just seemed interested in whether I was free. They did know the first name though, but when I said only the person wanted should get in touch, they just hung up.3 yearsI kept telling Freddie Wilson I needed to speak with the Managing Director. After a while, turns out he was calling from Pioneer. He was pretty abrupt and told him to remove our number from their calling list.Freddie WilsonPioneer3 yearsI suspect this could be a dodgy operation! A chap named Sam Brown got in touch, claiming to represent Pioneer and wanting to discuss business phone systems. He even reached out through email too. Just a heads up to everyone - keep your wits about you!Sam Brown3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with Pioneer, talking about business phone systems. They were really vague though, kept saying they needed to see if we were “eligible” for what they were offering but wouldn’t explain anything else. Felt a bit off, like a scam to me.Pioneer4 yearsI just got a call from some bloke named Robert Ward - last week it was Dan Brown - who claimed he’d been in touch with the Director a few weeks back and was checking up on an email supposedly sent around the same time. When I asked what it was about, he dodged the question completely. I called him out, telling him straight the Director hadn’t reached out to him at all and accused him of being dodgy and dishonest. After that, he suddenly said the chat wasn’t going how he wanted and just hung up on me.Robert WardDan BrownDirector4 yearsTotal rip off. Honestly, don’t bother picking up.4 yearsThis guy calling himself 'Sam Brown' kept insisting he was just following up on an email that I never actually received. He was acting like he was tight with the boss or something. I asked him for a contact number or any details about where he was calling from, and he just wouldn’t tell me. Said he'd send another email, but I’m pretty sure it’s a scam. Really dodgy behaviour.Sam Brown4 yearsGot a call from Sam Brown at Pioneer, said he’d follow up with an email. Claimed the director would know who he is. He said he’d just send an email since we’re not answering his calls. Honestly, what’s the point if the director doesn’t even know him? I just said goodbye and that’s that. Poor Sam, looks like tough luck for him.Sam BrownPioneerSam4 yearsSome bloke said he was Dan Farmer and that my MD had emailed him wanting a callback. I had no clue about any email, so I asked if it was a sales pitch. He told me it wasn’t. When I asked where he was ringing from, he just said nowhere, then quickly hung up. I tried ringing the number back but got cut off straight away.Dan Farmer4 yearsGot a call at 10:13 on 20 Sep 22 from 01243 212682. A bloke named Dan Gibson said he’s with Pioneer but didn’t mention the company right away. He told me he’d emailed the MD already, so they’d understand the reason for the call. Mentioned something about infrastructure work but said it wasn’t urgent and he’d send a follow-up email anyway. Had to prompt him to confirm the company's name since he wasn’t clear at first.Dan GibsonPioneer4 yearsGot multiple calls from 01243 212682, some bloke called Glenn Williams kept saying the MD told him to get in touch. He really didn’t like it when I told him I wasn’t interested and asked straight up what he was selling. Proper pushy bloke, not someone who takes no easily.Glenn Williams4 yearsKept getting a robo call repeating my 17 year old daughter’s full name ####### ##### nonstop. Really weird and annoying.4 yearsThis number won’t stop ringing, like every 20 minutes from morning right through till evening. I finally picked up to see what they wanted and it was something about deposits, which I’ve got none of. The lady just hung up on me quick after that. Feels like one of those phishing scams to me, so watch out and just block it. It’s really bad when they won’t leave you alone during work hours, calling non-stop from nine until six. Proper annoying.4 yearsThis chap wouldn’t stop insisting on chatting with my manager, sounding rather mechanical in his approach. He claimed he was ringing from ‘Pioneer’. When I quizzed him about what exactly Pioneer was up to, he just brushed me off, repeating that my boss was anticipating his call. To cut a long story short, he definitely wasn’t getting through to anyone!Pioneer4 yearsI’ve been looking around online but can’t seem to find any reviews or ratings for this number anywhere, which hopefully means it’s harmless... Has anyone else come across it before? I even tried searching using different ways of writing the number, but nothing turned up.4 yearsI couldn’t find any reviews for this number anywhere online, which I guess is a good thing... Has anyone else had any dealings with it? Tried a few variations of the number too, but nothing came up.4 yearsAbsolutely relentless... they seemed incapable of accepting a courteous "no."Submit Your Own Report (01243 212682)
