I had a spam call today alleging to be from BT
Initially it was very convincing and telling me that BT were carrying out work n my area for the next 4 days
I was told I would be getting a temporary connection and my normal line would be automatically reconnected when the work was completed
When I pushed him if I needed to do anything to connect to the temporary line he became evasive and kept saying that why he was calling to explain what I needed to do
He stared to say I needed to down load an app and he started to tell how to do this
My spam indicator went very red at this point
I told him that as BT had my contact information he could email me the instructions, his response was that you needed to be technical to understand the process
I asked how he knew I did not have a technical background
At that point the line disconnected
I have only posted this as he was very convincing and almost had me fooled

Your first sentence should have rung alarm bells, BT don't carry out any work locally, Openreach do.
