The caller states that extension cables need to be laid along the drive by workman “the next day”.

A Lincolnshire Police spokesman said: “BT will not send a team of workman the ‘next day’ as all their work is scheduled in advance.

“Do not enter into a conversation with these persons but simply replace the receiver and report any calls to Lincolnshire Police on telephone number 101.”
