They are phishers. The call list originates at junk collectors. They use these automated calls to confirm contact numbers of people they are collecting on. This is how they establish that you exist and are not out of the country or dead. As long as you exist, your debt never dies, and therefore is fair game. Check your state's laws on defaulted debt.
You can only block the call from ringing and accepting voice mail. But it will always connect to your number. If you pay per call, it will hurt your wallet. They want you to surrender.
