not being funny danny but lol 1) no offence meant by this, but if they sound foreign then thats the first sign of suspicion 2) If you dont recognise the number, or the number is hidden thats the second sign of suspicion 3) As soon as they mention the whole "how much are you paying" doo dah i hang up or just tell them a load of crap back Telemarketing calls can be fun, especially when they phone me. But just say no leave me alone and hang up, dont wait for them to say anything
