What I find amusing is that scammers have my phone number but my wife's name - so I get random calls where they say "Can I speak to Ms Arethuza" and I say "No" and end the call.

Weird. AFAIK nowadays the contacts are bought from lists out of online orders where your name is there. Do you shop in your wife's name?

No - she does book restaurants in my name as hers is quite complicated to spell!
