03303530243 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 03303530243 👆 is reported as a company often accused of targeting elderly and vulnerable individuals with aggressive sales tactics, offering costly call-blocking devices and nuisance call prevention services that are widely available for free through official channels like the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). Multiple reports describe unauthorised direct debits, unsolicited calls despite TPS registration, and allegations of misleading claims and fraudulent behaviour. The organisation has been fined heavily by the ICO for breaches related to unsolicited calls and misuse of data. Numerous consumers warn others to avoid providing bank details due to the risk of financial loss. While a minority claim the device works, the overwhelming consensus is to exercise extreme caution, report unsolicited calls to authorities, and consider official, no-cost nuisance call blocking options instead.

People who actually have success and money tend not to boast about it. If you read carefully, it seems likely that Montecarlo was just made up, and the ICO’s crackdown has ended up ruining a lot of company bosses financially.

Quick update, livin it up in Monte Carlo avoiding taxes and loving that I’ve not shelled out a single penny in fines. Guess crime really does pay off, especially since I let that clueless fool Rob Sturss (Peter Townsend) take the blame for me. It’s almost laughable if it wasn’t so sad lol 😅. Now off to the casino then dinner at Hotel Paris, and later gonna have some fun in the bedroom. P.S. cheers to all of you for footing the bill, you mugs 😆🍆💦

The ICO looked into and handed out penalties adding up to £590,000 to five more firms in the home appliance warranty and service plan industry. SGS Home Protect Ltd got slapped with a £70,000 fine, Cover Appliance Ltd fined £200,000, F12 Management Ltd also fined £200,000, House Hold Appliances 247 Ltd received £55,000 fine, and RHAP Ltd fined £65,000.

The fine was supposed to be paid off through a payment plan, so I’m guessing the business owner didn’t have enough cash to clear it all at once. From what the ICO records show, the entire sum still hasn’t been paid. I’m sure the ICO will be chasing them up for the money and could even go after personal belongings if needed to get the debt settled.

IT’S PAUL. Honestly, the person who wrote below is, well... not the sharpest. I sorted out the fine and I’m up and running again. Wanna know how I settled it? I flogged my place down at Brighton pier and these days I’m mostly hanging out at my villa in Monte Carlo. 128 grand? That’s just loose change to me, but like my partner always says, mind the pennies from the public and the pounds will sort themselves out! 😂

There’s been a lot more action lately by the Authorities looking into a bunch of firms selling home appliance service contracts, thanks to loads of complaints from customers. Some dodgy directors have already been slapped with fines, prosecuted, and even banned for cold-calling vulnerable and older people. If they don’t pay up, they’re getting chased down with their personal stuff at risk. It’s heating up big time, with a good few of these companies caught in the crosshairs. I reckon the bosses are in for some serious penalties given all the grief they’ve caused to so many folks.

Loads of dodgy businesses trying to sell all sorts, from call blocking to cover plans for kitchen appliances.

These clowns were quite sure they'd overturn their £170,000 fine on appeal, but they got it totally wrong and the penalty stood. I reckon they claimed they couldn't afford to pay, which led to a monthly instalment arrangement that they began but have since fallen behind on. I doubt the ICO will just let this slide now, and maybe the Authorities will move to seize assets or get a Court Order to force them to pay up.

I recently discovered that this bloke is behind another dodgy insurance scheme called National Home Cover, working from the very same office. They’re using the same old white goods scam like the one Service Monkey ran, which was also based in the same place as Yes Consumer Solutions. It looks like they’ve been swapping data and bank details unlawfully, even with TPS info. If you check out National Home Cover online, you’ll see they share the exact same address, and loads of Trustpilot reviews show it’s just a con aimed at the elderly and disabled. Pretty sure Paul Elliot is the one at the helm of all this mess.

A different firm down on the south coast that supposedly provided nuisance call blocking got hit with a fine from the ICO a while back. After Trading Standards had a good look into them, their boss ended up found guilty of fraud and got a 5-year jail sentence. I heard that the courts were planning to tack on a few more years if the fine wasn’t settled.

The bloke behind this business had already had a run-in with the authorities, so he must've realised he was skating on thin ice.

We didn't bother with the TPS check as we believed we were exempt since we're the ones trying to block the annoying calls. My team reckons I’ll definitely get the fine overturned on appeal, which feels more than fair. For now, it's back to business as usual - just doing things the UK YES CONSUMER way!

If I was in charge of a business like this, I'd be mortified. How can a company that’s supposed to prevent annoying calls end up getting slapped with a fine from the ICO for making nuisance calls themselves? It’s just laughable. On top of that, there’s buzz going around about them pushing equity release services via phone without the proper FCA registration (Prestige Equity Release, I think), all managed from some tiny one-room office with Service Monkey involved. Honestly, they could be facing serious trouble with GDPR breaches and potentially fraud. They really should be looked into thoroughly, especially since it seems they jot down customer bank details on actual paper - madness!

Back in January 2020, they charged me £149.99 and then £7.50 every month after that, saying the call blocking service would be free once I paid for January 2021. However, they still took another £7.50 payment from me for February 2021. After reading loads of reviews on their website, I’ve decided to stop the Direct Debit immediately. This feels like a total rip-off to me, and I’m planning to report it as fraud to my bank. The call came from the number 03303530243.

Back in November 2020, I decided to stop my direct debit with NatWest linked to this business because it seemed dodgy to me. T Stubbs.

It’s horrible how some dodgy traders trick elderly folks into giving up their state pension. We really need better ways to stop it.

This scam is well known for going after older people and those with disabilities, especially since many are on the TPS. It's totally illegal, and I heard their payment company is now under investigation for fraud and running a pyramid scheme. I've already reported Yes Consumer Solutions to both Action Fraud and trading standards. Considering their website’s disappeared and they've left their offices at Intergen House in Brighton and Hove, it really makes you think the authorities are close to catching them!

Just discovered a direct debit agreement for my late stepdad, who passed away last Tuesday. Seems like they charged him £149.99 upfront and then £7.50 monthly. We have no clue what these payments were actually for, especially since we keep getting calls from other companies trying to sell stuff - probably all connected to this dodgy outfit. It’s baffling how these scammers are still allowed to run their scams, targeting elderly people like this. It honestly makes me feel sick how greed drives folks to do things like this.

The only time these lot will be involved with the Government is when the cops turn up to arrest them for fraud. Absolute scumbags taking advantage of old and vulnerable people. I’ve already reported this firm (Yes Consumer Solutions) and their Director to Action Fraud.

My folks supposedly sorted out an international call block about 3 years back. I had a peek at our bank statements, no charges showed up. Then, out of nowhere, I got told it needed renewing for £179 to cover another 3 years! Lucky I was around to double check; a quick google of the number and a call to the bank made it clear - total scam.

Its really frustrating when these calls keep coming non-stop, particularly to numbers that are listed on the TPS. What they are doing is against the law.

So this firm, Yes Consumer Solutions, they say they can help block all those annoying calls for you, but it’ll set you back £190. But here’s the irony - they themselves ring you up uninvited, basically pestering you to buy their service! Proper frustrating that is.

Got a call from YES CONSUMER SOLUTIONS claiming they can block annoying calls. Honestly, it felt like a total scam trying to con older folks and those who are vulnerable. From what I’ve heard, the people behind this have been caught up in other dodgy scams before. If you get a ring from this number, just end the call and put them on your block list. Don’t waste your time.

I'm rather curious as to why there wasn't any oversight regarding your mother's actions. As we mentioned in our initial remarks, it's essential for customers to exercise caution, and I'm afraid our policy does not accommodate refunds. Oh, but we did throw in a complimentary pen and box, so there’s that! Truly a bargain, wouldn't you agree? (Yours sincerely, Peter Townsend)

Got a call just the other day from Debra saying she’s with "Yes", asking for £79 plus £10 a month to renew some service. I looked back and saw last year (8/1/19 - a guy named Tom rang me) I already paid £119, thought that was it sorted. I’ve also got a CPR blocker I never even set up. Maybe I should’ve been more careful, but I’ll be ringing the bank soon to cancel stuff just in case. Still get some dodgy calls now and then, but nothing like the amount a few years ago. I’m based near Edinburgh. Anyone else had this?

Watch out!! An elderly pensioner had their bank and debit card info stolen over a year ago. The card was changed and the bank gave back the £160 that was taken. But recently, the same firm set up a dodgy direct debit and took £150 from the same vulnerable pensioner's account. The bank managed to refund that too. Absolute scumbags. Hope they get what's coming to them.

I asked a few questions about some doubts I had after reading the reviews, and someone got back to me in just a couple of minutes, which really helped calm me down. I’d do whatever it takes to get these calls to quit, so cheers for that. Honestly, don’t trust everything you see online.

I received a rather unpleasant phone call from a rather abrasive woman named Lisa, who sounded as if she'd had one too many drinks. She turned quite confrontational when I refused to share my card information. Seriously, what would possess me to fork out £100 to put an end to their irritating calls? It feels suspiciously like extortion, doesn’t it?

My poor elderly mother was taken for a ride by these crooks - I’d suggest steering clear if you’re not keen on being scammed. On a brighter note, I’ve caught wind of a whistleblower who’s been feeding intel to Action Fraud. They ought to be quaking in their boots!

It’s truly disheartening to see individuals who would stoop so low as to exploit the vulnerable, such as the elderly and disabled, just to snatch their bank details. They masquerade as if they’re aiming to reduce nuisance calls, while in reality, they’re preying on the unwary. Remember, the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) offers this protection at no cost, so there’s really no need to engage with these deceitful charlatans.

Got a phone call from some scammy lot called YesSafeCall Solutions, trying to charge £100 to block nuisance calls. Thing is, blocking these calls is free through the TPS anyway, and you definitely shouldn’t be handing out your bank info over the phone. They even tried to trick my 89-year-old mum into giving her details, which is just awful.

Got a new BT phone with a CallBlocker feature since my gran tends to be a bit forgetful and ends up sharing her bank info with random callers. Fingers crossed it stops all numbers apart from those in her contact list. We already lost about £80 thanks to those dodgy scammers.

Thankfully I was home before that so-called ‘call-blocking’ gadget was connected, but I doubt my nan will see her £80 refunded even though I sent it back the very next day (and we had to cover the postage ourselves). The company, yes it’s called consumer solutions, also sent a letter confirming a direct debit of £10 a month which we’ve since cancelled. I’ve just ordered a bt4600 big button phone for her, which fingers crossed, will block all unwanted calls once I’ve programmed in her contacts (including those idiots if they try phoning again to twist her arm!).
