Don't bother answering calls from area code 062, because it doesn't exist. It's programmed by fraudsters into their caller ID system so that you think it's a genuine area code. And because it's a phony number, you can't even report it to the National Do Not Call Registry.
Speaking of which, the NDNCR is not very good, but it's the best we've got. It only sorts out those honest cold callers who take the time to see your number is on the list. It's worth registering: http://www.donotcall.gov/
And is better than it used to be because, if you've registered after February 2008, you never have to register again. There is a reporting mechanism for caller abuse, which doesn't get anyone arrested but makes you feel a little better about having been abused.
