312-242-3640

A new one to me, but they show up online at other similar sites. Definitely an unsolicited should-be-blocked (DoNotCall) telemarketing junk call.

This is a company looking obviously looking for fax machines or possibly modems to importune or worse.  No human at the other end.  A dead call after I answered and said "ehllo."

just got a call from this number, saying they were "Corporate Acquisitions Group", wanted me to call Rick Weber at xt 701.

I just received a message from the number, identifing themselves as the Corporate Acquisitions Group. Said to dial extension 710 and ask for Rick Webber. Said they had a "Top-dollar buyer" for a business in my sector. Yeah, right....

had the identical calls, two messages left at my shop in az. did you ever speak with "rick'? and if so what was the real story.. thanks, mlb.

Recieved a call at work, when I answered I received a recorded appologie saying that my number was reached by accident.

Voice mail from Rick Weber x701

I got a voicemail from Rick Weber at Corporate Acquisitions Group at work.  The message was cut off and I didn't get the area code.  When I did a quick google search for the company name and phone number, I ended up here.  So... thanks to everyone for saving me the time.  I won't be calling him back.

Same thing happened to me last night.... left me a bit curious and suspicious because it was a recorded message,not a human

yeah i got this call too.  what's the scam here people?

Received the same call from Rick Weber.

I can't find a link for Corporate Aquisitions Group in Chicago?

Has anyone else found it?

I got the same message today at my small business. I called back the number and did not get a person only a message saying that "they were going to do their due diligence before contacting me back"
I will update you if I ever hear back. But, it stinks of scam.
I also searched for Rick Webber and can only find the General Hospital character! There isn't anything for Corporate Aquisitions Group in Chicago.

312-242-3640 is an automated voicemail number subscription service from Gotvmail.com  To complain call them at 800.820.8210 or direct at 617.395.5700 or 617.395.0078 for Corporate Relations.  They are based out of Needham, Mass, but they provide these fly by night phone services for losers and other wanna-be real business people all over the U.S. so that it can appear that they actually got an education or ever applied themselves to any job... when naturally, they have not.  Shame on them for not being proud of waiting tables... it paid my way through college.  Anyway, Rick Webber is actually a trans-sexual of sorts but they botched his operation and placed a horse's anus where his mouth should be.

I am Rick Webber from Corporate Acquisitions Group, http://www.cagglobal.com 
You can go to our web site and find my email under "our staff" but I'll give it to you now: rick@cagglobal.com   303-792-2010

I understand some criminal has been using our company name and my name.  Please call me or email immediately if you've gotten such a call.  That's the only way I can help stop this problem.
Thanks, Rick Webber

Met with a senior business analyst from corporate aquisitions group after the company contacted me looking to help my business. They called me first so I expected that the company was not doing cold calling. was led to believe they had buyers lined up to look me over. The analyst has said after reviewing my business he is confident they can find a buyer at a price 29% above what I would have asked for. The catch is that they want me to pay 3 grand for an independant analysis/appraisal to use as a selling tool for prospective buyers. he said it would be refunded within a year if they do not produce a buyer willing to pay the amount he came up with, not the independant companys five different values. When i asked him why they would not purchase the analysis and charge it to me at the point of sale the response was we are looking for serious sellers up front. So far my lawyers and financial advisors say that is fishy and brokers generally cover those kinds of cost. So now i am looking for more info on this company and am looking for references

As a FORMER telemarketer, I can offer the following:
The calls are generic in content & specific, as per paid lists from brokers (as to who they call). I am on a do not call registry, so the recorded message, coupled with this information, makes them a candidate for a lawsuit.

Based on my reading here, the group has several problems brewing. If I were a slick Rick Weber, I would move out of Town & form another scam. If I were an honest Rick Weber, I would mail letters!!!

Voicemail message from man (recorded man, no doubt) claiming to be Rick Webber, Corporate Acquisitions Group, Chicago. He claimed, "We are a buyer's mandate search firm . . . we have a top-level buyer interested in buying a firm in your sector." I was to call him back at ext 701, and leave a message if he did not answer.  

I could not tell if he was a guy or a recording, because it sounded very conversational; but I thought it sounded fishy that he said "in your sector" ... seeming not to know what sector our business is actually in.  Hmmm.  Seems to me that if there was a buyer, he might actually know what type of business the buyer wanted to purchase.

The caller states we are to call 312-242-3640, ext 701.
Rich Webber, who entered his info here (1/10/08) and claims that "some criminal" is using his company name, told us to call him at 303-792-2010. He says he is the legitimate Rick Webber, of CAG, an LLC based in Colorado.

HOWEVER, BOTH of these phone numbers ring to the SAME "company" ... the same outgoing voicemail message with the same female airhead voice. On both phone numbers, entering extension 701 brings you to an outgoing voicemail message from Rick Webber.  He promised to call back after I leave certain information (my business name; my name; our phone number; state in which our business is located).

I think I'll call and talk to him tomorrow ... he sounds like a real nice guy.

His 1/10 entry here makes me think he believes he is so smart he can chat here with impunity. Interesting.

Unfortunately, the HONEST one who posted on this website is the SAME EXACT PERSON as the dishonest one who is calling all of us. See my second post 1/10/08.
