Me - Ermmm, .......(try to think what they're up to) ........ no.

Them - OK, thanks for that, sorry to take your time.

Weird, must be some sort of scam, BT wouldn't do that, and I'm not a customer of theirs. Any ideas? I can only think it's the start of a scam and they decide whether to pursue it depending on who answers.
Probably a scam of some sort - daughter had something similar on her mobile the other day.
