In the US it's illegal for them to continue calling once you've made it clear you don't know who the person is, and it's grounds for suing.

3rd party debt collectors know just how easily they can be sued, so while they do push the envelope, if you demonstrate that you understand the laws, they'll back off quickly.

They're either robocalls or they hang up the second I find out who they're looking for, so good luck even figuring out who the debt has been sold to :/
