cold caller
Uninvited sales caller
A cold caller is someone who contacts potential customers without prior relationship or invitation, typically by phone.
The practice is associated with sales pitches, telemarketing, and sometimes scams.
I hung up on another cold caller trying to sell me insurance.
The term can also apply to job seekers reaching out to companies unsolicited.
