Steve people who do that from my experience are normally competitors that want to see how much you would charge. What you should do is make these fields compulsory.
Don't let any designer tell you that you people don't like giving out telephone numbers, these days people give out mobile numbers without too much fuss because it is costing the caller a lot especially across networks.
This is a good way of getting rid of time wasters.
Another tip use 0845 numbers instead of 0800, let the prospect pay. Register your number with MPS. Stop all unsolicited calls or junk mail - details below.
This service is free.
Unsolicited mail
Mail Preference Service:
Unwanted, unread Direct Mail has no place in anyone's home. And if you're not interested in receiving it, MPS will update their records for Direct Mail companies to see and adjust their lists as you request. Unwanted mail can be reduced/stopped by registering on line or by writing to the MPS.
Royal Mail Door to Door can help prevent unaddressed (The Occupier) mail. You should ask for an application form which should be completed and returned accordingly.
