Assuming USA, sue them. They owe you $500 per call after your number has been on the do-not-call registry for 31 days or after you told them not to call you again. If the violation was willful, they owe $1500 per call.

that means you also have their number right?
make a craigslist listing with content like "free concrete mixer" "free plushies" or something like that and their number as contact info, won't work on robocalls probably
the effect is twofold: first they will get calls (originating from real numbers) from cheapskates wanting their freebies. then their number may be picked up by a crawler and get cold calls from unrelated spam operations. this all in addition to figuring out what just happened
If OP is blocking their numbers and they keep calling from new ones, most likely they're spoofing numbers. Doing what you're saying could in that case affect someone completely innocent
if you get it right you might force them to change phone number
while it's a certified chaotic move, this might be not entirely legal
Tell them you will sell it for 2x what they offer and only go up from there every time they try to haggle.
You don’t own the property, so tell them you’re willing to sell, go through whatever process they give you, wasting as much of their time as you are willing to, then inform them that they’ll have to talk to the owner to finalize the deal.
Make sure to wait 1-3 days between each communication to drag the process out as long as possible.
So if you’ve filled a do not call, why aren’t you following up on that?
Go contact whoever operates your DNC and find out what options are available to enforce it.
robocalls or humans?
Get an air horn and use it when they ask.
bonus points for talking quietly, so they turn the volume up a bit
A while ago, there was a story about a man who made pretty good money from filing lawsuits against companies that ignored his do-not-call requests. If the laws still allow it, it might be a good way to make them stop.
I believe that all he had to do was to keep notes about the businesses and numbers that called him and when he asked them to add him to their do-not-call lists.
Ahh finally. Injunctive relief!
This was happening to me (although maybe not at that frequency). I ended up googling the property they kept asking about and found some site (clustrmaps.com) that had incorrectly associated my contact info with the property. I wrote to the company from a contact us page on their site and requested they correct the data removing my name and phone number from the property. They wrote back apologizing for the error and confirming that they had removed my info.
Have you tried searching for that property online? I wonder if you might have a similar problem where they could remove your info from that property.
Dude, i wish i knew! Lost my mom last year and the predatory fuckers contacting me about her house won't let up! Every day i get mail and everyone on my phone plan gets calls and texts.
Report them to the state attorney general
I tell them I'm accepting offers of $2,000,000+. My home is worth about $100,000.
Where do you live that any home is only worth 100k? Even looking 100 miles away I can only find undeveloped land or dilapidated, former hoarder nests for less than 150k.
This. But where do you live in where you can find undeveloped land or dilapidated, former hoarder nests for less than 150k?
More than double that in my country.
accept selling the propeety and ghost them at an in person meetup /s
This, but not sarcastically
Find their phone number and set up your own robo call operation for just them.
