theres absolutely no reason to not tell them who you are. In fact, to persue telephonic harasment charges in my state anyway, you need to identify that you are the account holder of the line and that they have no communicative purpose to be calling you about. Pretty hard to do that if you play the i'm not saying who i am game.
Answer that it is you, then entertain them enough to get at least what company they are from, then advise them not to call you anymore, then follow it up with a letter advising same.
Also it may not be a collections agency, many "prescreened" offers are instructed to only talk to the person who is listed on their call sheet, and to arrange a call back if that person is unavailable.
