Received two calls from this number. Let it go to voice mail. He states it's an important matter and hungs up. Does anyone know who he is or what company he may represent?

It's a bill collector, trying to collect OLD debts. These are debts that were written off by the creditors. These vultures buy it, and try to collect what they can.  DO NOT ANSWER THE CALLS. They have no legal recourse. IT's just an annoyance.

I finally went to the Federal Trade Commission Call enforcement division at:
https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx?panel=2

and filed out the online violation form.  I figure with our taxes we can have federal government enforcement of unscrupulous business use of our phone system, which we pay for.

Here is a good way to deal with these Hitler Youth rejects and their disreputable tactics; First, never mind the number on your caller ID, it’s virtually always a fake and strictly one-way.  But the call-back number on the voice-mail has to be real, otherwise they could never scam a dime out of anyone.  Also, if you know for sure which collection company it is, visit their website and if the e-mail address under “Contact Us” doesn’t readily suggest a debt collector use that too.  Write a realistic-sounding too-good-to-pass-up add for anything appealing to as wide a range of people as possible using their contact info. - then post it on Craig’s List! The ruinous overload of calls and E-Mails will soon cause their networks to crash and with these vermin, down-time is money down the drain.  The vast majority of collectiods took the short bus to school and are therefore notoriously slow learners, but this method will likely get the point across.
