We consider the scattering problem for a class of strongly singular Schr\"odinger operators in $L^2(\mathbb{R}R^3)$ which can be formally written as $H_{\alpha,\Gamma}= -\Delta + \delta_\alpha(x-\Gamma)$ where $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$ is the coupling parameter and $\Gamma$ is an infinite curve which is a local smooth deformation of a straight line $\Sigma\subset\mathbb{R}^3$. Using Kato-Birman method we prove that the wave operators $\Omega_\pm(H_{\alpha,\Gamma}, H_{\alpha,\Sigma})$ exist and are complete.
