02030111679 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02030111679 👆 is reported as a scam operation targeting vulnerable and elderly individuals by fraudulently taking over landline numbers, imposing unauthorised charges, and setting up direct debits without consent. The companies behind these calls, including Zoom Telecom and Met Plus Telecom, have repeatedly been fined by Ofcom for malpractice such as “slamming” (illegally switching phone providers) and mis-selling. Victims frequently describe aggressive and threatening behaviour, with poor or no evidence provided for alleged debts. These firms often operate from overseas call centres, complicating enforcement. Affected consumers are advised to report to Ofcom, Trading Standards, and their banks to cancel direct debits and claim refunds through indemnity payments. Support is available via Alternative Dispute Resolution schemes if complaints are ignored. Blocking the number and not engaging with calls is strongly recommended.

Got a call the other day saying they needed to check on Microsoft licenses and had me down as the contact. Told them that wasn’t right, then they just hung up. I blocked the number straight away - definitely sounds like a scam to me.

I’m absolutely appalled by Metplus! They switched my elderly father, who has dementia, to a costly plan without proper consent. Now we’re being hit with a staggering £100 fee just to terminate his contract. It’s utterly disgraceful! Do yourselves a favour and steer clear of this company at all costs!

02030111679 Just a heads up, on 4th June 2021, OFCOM found that Guaranteed Telecom and Met Technologies broke three rules under General Condition 7 of the UK Communications Act 2003, mainly related to SLAMMING - basically, mis-selling throughout 2019. As a result, OFCOM can impose a hefty fine on Kunal Gupta, who’s the Director based in India for both firms, due to his registration here in the UK, and demand he fixes the issues for everyone who was affected.

Got a call from someone with an Indian sub-continent accent, saying BT needed another number for ‘Elizabeth Clark’ since her phone wasn’t working properly. I have no idea who this Elizabeth person is, and I wasn’t really sure where it was going, so I just ended the call out of boredom.

In our case, an elderly family member went through a lot of upset and harm due to the way Met Plus handled things. Their care was lacking and nowhere near what you'd expect. When we raised concerns, those in charge wouldn’t give a sincere apology or fix what went wrong, and shockingly, they even tried to bill us extra fees that weren’t meant to be charged. It felt like they were just trying to hassle us and our relative rather than sort things out properly.

Based on what we've gone through, it might help to know this: If you think a communications provider has switched your number without permission and won’t let it go, or they're stopping you from moving to a different provider against the rules, you should use the proper channels to get the UK telecom regulators involved. They can force the provider to free up your number or stop them from doing it again wrongly. This way, you can switch providers and keep your number, which you’re entitled to by law. OFCOM’s website has guidance on how to raise a complaint and what steps to take next.

If you’ve been stuck after roughly eight weeks of trying to sort things out with your CSP, especially when dealing with those companies listed below, you might want to give the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) a go. This is useful if you worry that vulnerable people might be involved too. In the UK, all telecom companies must be signed up to an ADR scheme, which will either be the Telecoms Ombudsman or CISAS. You can find which ADR schemes they belong to on Ofcom’s website.

Just saw on Ofcom's site that they’ve been looking into some firms since 20 November 2019. They’re checking out whether there’s been any dodgy mis-selling or slamming going on, both in the past and what's happening now. If anyone wants more info or needs to get in touch, all the details are up on their website.

From what I’ve gathered and reading others’ stories, in the UK there’s a Direct Debit Guarantee Scheme that protects us. If any payment seems set up without proper permission or done by mistake, you can ask your bank or building society to cancel the direct debit. Even better, you can ask for a refund through something called an 'indemnity claim'. If the bank agrees that your claim is valid, they should sort out a full refund straight away. It’s quite reassuring to know this protection’s in place.

My 80 year old dad has dementia and has been targeted by Zoom telecom, and like many others, he’s been caught up in this nightmare. When I stepped up to try and put a stop to it, they switched tactics and started hassling me for payment instead. Social Services got Trading Standards and the police involved, and now, following their advice, I’m planning to file a complaint with Ofcom. Trading Standards reckon it’s not a genuine company, but honestly, not many people seem willing to take real action to tackle this mess.

Got a couple of calls from them yesterday. They acted like they knew me and even mentioned my aunt, who’s got dementia, saying she owed them some money. Didn’t answer when they rang the second time, but they left a voicemail telling me to ring them back.

My 80-year-old sister-in-law got a call from someone claiming to be BT, saying she owed £300 and had to pay up or else there'd be consequences. She ended the call, but they phoned her again right after. They sounded really believable too.

Met Plus telecom is behind this number. They took over my ex husband's phone line - he suffers from dementia - and now they want a big sum to return it. Stay clear of them. Never share any personal info or sign up for anything with these lot.

Totally a scam, claiming to be TPS. Best just to block the number and not bother with them.

I got a call from this number, asking for someone I definitely don't know. I just hung up. Then they rang back saying their records showed we’d been in touch with a different number, and they needed to reach the person who owns it. I ended the call again. When they called a third time, insisting it was crucial to find and speak to the owner, I told them if they called again, I’d be reporting it to the cops and hung up. Had a chat with my partner later and turns out the number they mentioned was actually a nearby curry takeaway. Proper strange.

The Telephone Preference Management Service seems a bit fishy as there isn't any official website for it. Be cautious-it feels like a scam to me! Plus, the audio quality is rather subpar. Just to clarify, this should not be mixed up with the genuine Telephone Preference Service, which is perfectly legitimate.

Earlier this year, a direct debit was apparently arranged through the "Telephone Preference Management Service" without me giving any permission. Thankfully, my bank stopped the payment before it went through. Today, they rang again, mentioning they had contacted us back in March. We hung up straight away. This number is now on my block list.

Avoid dealing with these people! They called offering cheaper phone lines but never properly said who they were or even checked if they had the correct company. Worst of all, they cancelled our business lines with no permission. Such a hassle!

I keep getting call after call from Met-Plus Telecom, but they're constantly asking for my neighbour. I’m baffled as to how they’ve managed to track down our private number. Honestly, their dodgily spelled website doesn’t exactly inspire confidence either.

AVOID THIS NUMBER LIKE THE PLAGUE! It's a dodgy outfit trying to scam you into coughing up cash to 'stop' bothersome calls. They typically demand around £100 each time! Absolute charlatans, I tell you. They've already swindled my elderly parent, who’s 84, out of this money and refuse to refund it. Despite the fact that UK legislation allows you to cancel any contract within a fortnight - which we did - they aren't budging. I’m absolutely determined to reclaim this money. The police are next on my agenda!
