A man named Paul claimed to represent BT Open Reach and said they were nearby to fit fibre, but the background noise made it sound like he was in a pub; I told him we weren’t interested and ended the call.

Expertomdöme
Calls from this number often masquerade as official BT Openreach reps pushing fibre broadband upgrades, yet the dodgy accents and chaotic backgrounds scream scam. One punter even clocked a 'Paul' from something like Sallex, while another got the hard sell on 5G rollout – classic nuisance tactics to hook you in. Don't bite; these cold callers thrive on unsolicited chats, so hang up sharpish and report to Ofcom or Action Fraud. Block the number pronto, and consider a call screener app to filter out the rubbish. If they persist, note details for potential do-not-call list beefs – better safe than stung by fake tech offers.

The caller claimed to be from Sallex, sounded Indian rather than British, and sounded like a sales pitch. I didn’t engage, but I do answer just to waste their time.
I was contacted out of the blue by an organisation claiming to be a BT Business partner offering fibre broadband; I asked for a written proposal and they hung up.
A missed call arrived from an unknown source, with no further information.
A voice with an Indian accent talked about 5G rollout in the area – which is already live – and then told me to find a cosy spot and choke myself.
The landline was blocked by Call Guardian, and as usual no message was left – another entry on my blocked list.
