I think it's fine to turn down roles as long as you have a good reason, eg another (better) role came up / it's too junior / not for me.
I always think it's good to go and see what happens, the worst that can happen is that you have an unpleasant experience, the best is that you get an offer...
I'm really glad I spotted this thread. We live in the countryside and only get 1mb download speed so horrendously slow broadband. BT have just sent me an offer inviting me to their broadband for £10 a month but it sounds as if that's £10 too much atm. We currently pay £16 via O2.
I know someone who received a call like this but the caller actually had some pertinent details: address and dob I think (no idea where from). Anyway, it was convincing enough that the poor bloke actually gave them credit card details in the end. I think the scammers are getting better at it.
