Arjang, The scammers don't have your details. They randomly dial numbers :)
Just ask them: Who did you call? What's my name? What's my address? and they bugger out :) A quicker escape is "Me not speaking English. Me not speaking English." :) That actually even works with the guys knocking at the door selling different churches or better gas/electricity plans. You only have to say it about 5-6 times with a big smile and shaking your head and you'r done :) Corneliu.
