That means “Cold Call”: Unwanted telephone advertising
A so-called “cold call” is an unsolicited and unannounced advertising call. In German, these calls can also be called cold calls. Cold calls are made by companies to private individuals and are quite unpopular with the latter.
Companies often try to sell something through cold calls or get private individuals to make an appointment. They are persistent and follow a clear strategy. That can be pretty aggro.

- “Yes, I know that. Cold calls are just f*ck!”
