03301229978 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 03301229978 👆 is reported as a number linked to aggressive cold calls claiming to offer big savings on BT line rentals, often from companies like Transparent Telecom or Premier Telecom.

Many find the calls pushy, with rude behaviour or hang-ups if questioned. Some targets include vulnerable elderly people who have had distressing experiences or been nearly scammed out of money. While a few say offers seemed genuine, most warn it’s a scam or at best sharp sales practice with misleading info. Overall, it’s considered an unsafe number involved in questionable telecom sales tactics.

I got a call from someone pushing me to switch from BT to Premier Telecom to supposedly save a bunch of cash. She kept going on about how Openreach owns the line and they'd tell Premier my usage so they could bill me directly. When I asked if it sounded dodgy, she insisted it wasn’t a scam but it was obvious she was just trying to sell me something. I told her I was fine with my current provider and ended the call. Anyone promising a 50% discount like that is probably not legit - I'd steer clear of Premier Telecom.

On 21/09/20, my elderly mum got a call from someone named Amy who claimed that Transparent was replacing BT. Amy persuaded mum to hand over her bank details from her cheque book, even though mum felt quite unsure and asked questions. Amy was really insistent and pushy about it. After the call, mum was really distressed. Makes me think about how Amy would react if it were her own mum or grandma going through this. It’s really awful.

I received a call regarding my BT account, aiming to help me lower my bills. They claimed to be Openreach, not BT, and mentioned that Openreach monitors line usage to relay this info to BT for billing purposes. Supposedly, dealing with Openreach directly could lead to substantial savings. I'm now expecting some documentation to back this up, but I must admit I felt rather suspicious about the whole conversation.

They said they could help me save cash, and I was like, "oh yeah? How would you know that?" I told them I could say the exact same thing, since they have no clue about my earnings or bills. The bloke kept interrupting me, but I wasn’t having any of it. It dragged on a bit before he just hung up. Then, the same number rang again a few minutes later, but I didn't pick up.

Got a ring on my landline from someone named Harry, claiming to be from Transparent Telecom. He reckoned they could cut down my phone bill compared to BT. Thing is, 1) I don't even use BT 2) My number’s on the TPS list, so they’re basically ignoring the rules about marketing calls. Would you trust a company that treats your privacy and the law so carelessly?

I got a call from this number and a woman answered, sounded like she knew exactly who I was and even mentioned my BT payments. I asked where she had my info and she said it was from Openreach. I told her I was about to ring Openreach on my mobile to find out why they’re sharing my details with other companies. She quickly said I didn’t need to bother, so I asked if she wanted me to contact the police instead. She said no and then just ended the call.

My nan, who’s 91, got a call from someone named Amy Roberts about switching her phone supplier. She sounded super friendly and like she knew what she was talking about, really convincing. But when Amy started asking for bank info, my nan, who’s quite sharp for her age, quickly hung up. We’ve taught her to be careful since she’s been caught out by scams before and lost money. Proud of her for spotting this one though!

Got a call from these people a few days ago, felt a bit iffy at first but I let them carry on with their spiel. Surprisingly, the deal they gave me ended up being cheaper than what I was paying before, so I decided to stick with it during the 10 day cooling off period. When the welcome pack arrived, I was quite happy to see they hadn’t asked for my bank details straight away and vanished. It’s a cheaper alternative to BT, and they seem pretty genuine to me. After reading some comments, I reckon some folks just label it a ‘scam’ without much thought. No issues from my side at all!

Becky keeps calling from 0330 1229978, pretending to be from BT. She sounded pretty believable when she said she could cut my contract costs by loads. I hung up as soon as she started asking for my bank info to arrange a new direct debit. Sadly, I'd already given her my mobile and address by then. I haven’t checked this number myself, but based on other people’s experiences here, it looks dodgy to me. Watch out!

S#### phoned my elderly client while I wasn’t around, which is a shame because I’d hidden her bank cards at her family’s request thinking she’d be protected from scams like this. But when they realised she couldn’t provide her bank info, they had her check her cheque book and got the details that way. They offer a low line rental deal for 12 months then sneakily charge almost £30 more each month on useless extras like Care Package and Call Divert. If loads of people targeted by them reported this to OFCOM, I reckon they would have been shut down by now.

I got a call claiming they could switch me to a cheaper supplier and that I'd get a big refund. They talked for ages and then asked for my bank info, which I refused to give. I did ask them to send me some paperwork first, but they said that’d only happen once I handed over my bank details. After chatting with my family, we agreed to just ignore it. Pretty sure I won’t be seeing any letters from them though.

My dad got a call from someone claiming to be Transparent Telecom - a name neither of us had come across before. Just like a few others have said, they tried to pitch him a deal to bring his line rental down to £9.99 a month. Since he’s moving soon, he said no thanks.

Got a call from 0330122978 today, a polite young guy claiming BT charges me £19.99 for line rental every month and Transparent offers a cheaper deal at £9.99. Right away he messed up my name, so that was a bit suspicious. When I told him I already pay my line rental upfront and am quite content with my current plan, he asked when my contract ends so he'd call again with a supposedly better offer from Transparent. I just said no thanks and ended the call.

Got a call from 03301229978 recently. My neighbour answered and it was a really friendly woman on the line. She said she needed bank info to move payments from TalkTalk to this company called Transparent Telecom. Said it was much cheaper, big first payment then lower after. My neighbour thinks she shared the details but then got suspicious and tried to ring her bank to stop it. TalkTalk then called back and said they cancelled the transfer cos it was a scam. Quite scary!

Got a call from someone saying he was Harry Hayes from customer services. He went on about BT and claimed they were shifting billing to Transparent Telecom, gave lots of detailed info which sounded convincing enough. But then he asked me for my bank info to set up a new direct debit - that’s when I got suspicious.

This afternoon, I got a call from a bloke named Harry who gave a long spiel about BT and Openreach, saying he was there to let me know about cheaper phone and broadband deals as a BT customer. When he tried to get me to confirm the average monthly cost he quoted, I asked him to send me something in writing instead. He told me to grab a pen and he’d run through the numbers again. That’s when I told him straight I knew it was a scam and ended the call. It’s the second time I’ve had a call like this this year.

Got a call from a guy called "Harry" who said he was ringing from Transparent Telecom regarding our BT phone bill. He wanted to talk to my husband directly by name. Harry started to say it was just a quick chat about the charges, but since my husband struggles with hearing, he asked if Harry could send the details through email instead, which BT should already have on file. Harry insisted it would be simpler on the phone and wouldn’t take much time. My husband again said he’d rather just get it by email, then ended the call.

When I asked again for something in writing, he just hung up on me. Not sure if it was a scam or just very cheeky, but I’m not hanging about to find out.

They rang my father-in-law, who's 89, saying something about saving him money on his broadband. Next thing you know, they somehow got his bank information. Honestly, I was shocked - he wouldn't even share that kind of info with me if I asked nicely! At his age, broadband isn’t even something he needs. These people must be really good at what they do, but seriously, don’t ever hand over your bank details to anybody calling from that number. It’s just not safe.

I got a call today from a hidden number 03301229978, this young woman, said her name was Becky. She sounded quite believable and told me that BT no longer owns the landlines, so I'd be getting a big rebate since I pay my bill upfront. She claimed my whole package would drop by about a third. Then she said she’d send me all the details in the post, which I thought was fair enough. But next she asked for my bank account number and sort code to create a new direct debit. It all sounded so legitimate, but honestly, don’t trust it!
