This number has tried to call me 4 times. On the last call I gave the person verbal abuse with expletives. Maybe they won’t call again

Starting getting angry with me when I wouldn’t confirm my telephone number then hung up when I asked where she’s calling from
Just received a call. They asked for me by name. She said her name was Lisa and just wanted to take a few minutes of my time. I told her I'm at work and can't take personal calls so she thanked me and hung up. I've since blocked the number to prevent further calls.
I’m in Surrey. Have just had this number call me. An Indian man, asked for a Mr. (I didn’t hear the name but it also sounded Indian) and then asked if I was Mrs. X. I said no, and I’m pretty sure he said I’m going to kidnap you over the phone, so I said you can try.. then he said the technology makes it quite different and that he can’t help me any further and I said bye then and he hung up 🤣
I have had 4 calls from this number over the last 2 weeks. Keep asking for me by my maiden name (married 14 years) and my address from 9 years ago. Hang up when I say "that's my old name"
I asked why they wee calling? I knew it was a scam, but i like to play with them) she told me that she wasn't selling me anything. I said "oh great, so its about the weather then?" she put the phone down on me. hahaha knobs.
