Scam calls from people claiming to be 3

Keep getting calls from this number: 03333381017 - by people with "offers" for my 3 plan. They are very persistent and I have good reasons to think they're scammers but just wanted to be certain they're not some overzealous subcontractors working for 3.

Just had the same phone call from a scottish takeaway offering 35% - I said to them this is too good to be true and they stated it was because I was loyal (only been back with 3 since February). Just hang up!

I have had persistent calls for the last few weeks, one earlier today from 020 4586 8496 and another one in the last 5 minutes from 07490 274935 saying they can offer 30% off my 3 bill. People from work call me on my personal number and I can't change the settings to silence all unknown numbers for this reason. 

What is being done about this scam, or is this legitimate?

I just had a call from 020 4571 2776 offering me the same thing, I must admit I almost fell for it, until she said they had to pass to the manager and fill an application. 
I hanged up and blocked the number as they don’t stop calling, they even left a voicemail - which Three would never do.

I get these calls once of more every day, from all different numbers, same call centre. I called up 3 and changed my preferences months ago but the calls still persist. It's a real nuisance and I will leave 3 as soon as my contract is up and get a new number. Their customer database clearly got compromised and they are obliged to do something about it.

They actually sell the customers numbers, which is crazy. I'm leaving 3 as well.

I've just had a call offering me a new phone and contract, which would wave my current contract have another year on my contract. They called from 01644216451. Definitely a scam.

They are so annoyinggg, today I was almost scammed, they sent me an email from info@threepromotions.co.uk and I thought it was real, until I called the 333 line and they said they haven't called me or offered me something in 9 months.

The tel numbers they used to call me today for the scam were:

020 4525 1625

020 4525 2409

020 4525 2416

020 4525 2350

020 4525 5325
