The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 USC 227) says that each of these calls is worth $500 minimum in statutory damages -- and may be trebled to $1500 per call if shown to be willful. Assuming you live in the US, this is a great case and you should keep track of the calls.

Problem is that they never identify themselves, they just say "we're looking for [xyz]" and hang up when I say I'm not them. I can't keep them on the call and the caller ID is faked to be some random local number.
