Two bogus BT workers called at a home and tried to talk their way in.
But the pair, who visited a home in Belle Vue Road, Wivenhoe, did not have identification and were turned away.
Police said later checks with BT revealed they did not have any staff in the area at the time of the call.
Acting Det Sgt Mike Sheeran, of Colchester CID, asked anyone who had had similar visits to come forward.
