How do I get property buyers to stop harassing me? (self.asklemmy)

The same company has been harassing for the better part a year now wanting to buy a property I don't own. I have filled a DO NOT CALL registration, I have blocked their numbers multiple times, I have told them to stop calling and to remove my name from their list, and now I'm getting maybe 1 or 2 calls a day and multiple texts.

Threaten then with legal action. If they're smart that should be enough; if they aren't, sue them.

Tips:

Most places in the world have laws against against disturbance of peace. Check the ones that apply to you, and mention them as you're telling them to stop calling you.
Start recording their calls as proof. Make sure to consistently say "do not call me further". Depending on the place you might need to include some warning like "your call is being recorded".
If you can't/don't want to record them, at the very least annotate when they call you, and keep every single piece of text that they send you.
