international call about winning an i-phone

I have had 3 calls in two days from an international number and indian sounding woman asking if i remember entering an online competition for an i-phone and that she needs to verify my details. I have entered lots but unsure if this is legit as asked me to verify my email and date of birth, at that point i cut off first time as had dodgy sky call beforehand (and they added things onto my account i said we didnt want). Today when she called (as sounds like same women each time) i said i didnt enter a competition and she got shirty with me and said i had and i must have forgotten so i hung up. Sorry for being so long winded but should i give my details and see if won?

    I don't think I would be giving any details to be honest.

    If she calls again ask her which Competition and you could look it up, but I have alarm bells ringing.

    More likely 3 mobile trying to sell you a 'free' phone on a contract, their sales call centre is in India and they are ruthless sales people, who you can only get rid of by hanging up!
