I chatted with ‘Tom’ who tried to persuade me he’d spoken to another director, which wasn’t true. I suggested checking with the director or ending the call to save time. He was pushy and rude, and hung up after that.

Expert Opinion
Pushy salespeople from telecom firms often resort to deceptive tactics, like falsely claiming prior conversations with directors, to gain access. These cold calls can feel invasive, especially when callers ignore polite rejections and persist rudely. No messages left on unanswered attempts suggest they're targeting businesses for contract pitches. To handle this, screen unknown numbers, use call-blocking apps, and firmly end chats without engaging—hanging up is perfectly fine if needed. Register with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on unsolicited calls. If harassment escalates, report to Ofcom for investigation. Staying vigilant protects your time and peace.

An overly aggressive sales pitch.
A couple of calls went straight to voicemail today, but no message was left.
About six weeks ago a sales rep phoned, requesting a visit to my office about a new telecoms contract. I declined, yet they were extremely pushy and followed up with an email confirming a visit date, which I cancelled. Today they called again, refused to hang up, and kept pressing despite my polite refusal, so I finally ended the call.
An aggressive sales rep from Pioneer Telecoms called, falsely requesting the managing director and claiming to follow up on a prior discussion.
