A colleague of mine always got debt collection calls for someone else. Several times per day, sometimes several times the hour. I asked them, if they know how to block the number, but they just liked to curse at them or troll them. Especially since the calls (presumably) originated from a real company that just didn't want to believe them, that they're not the person theyre trying to reach.

Makes sense, they bought the debt and if the last known phone number doesn’t work they might have to sell that debt on again to the next company but at a 90% discount.
