Sounds like he was from a calling center -- asked for accounting manager by name.  He refused to leave a voicemail - opting to call again tomorrow.

"RJ" left a voicemail message with his extension but couldn't understand the company name.  Caller ID showed Buena Park.  He said it was about a national account.  Called back, automated answer, entered extension and it kept going back to the original greeting of "Thank you for calling, if you know the extension you may dial it now.  For a directory by name press star."  Probably a scam.

Same as above probably a scam.

This lady has been calling every day in spanish saying that we need to call her back. I could hardly understand what company she represents but after 5 days I finally got it...She said she was from MHG LLC...who knows if that company even exists. I could hear voices in the background. It seemed it was a calling center.  She leaves messages all the time saying we need to call. Sorry, I will not call because you don't even know our names, she only says our last name and can hardly pronounce it.

Your not so sneaky spam ad has been reported for deletion.

"RJ" left a message with his company name - Martin, Huse & Grassman. LLC - cant find them on the internet anywhere. He said it was regarding a national account that he needed to talk to us immediately about. Hehe didnt even know who he was leaving the message for - he mentioned 3 different last names.  I could hear voices in the background - like maybe he was in a calling center.  Probably a scam.

But the phone number is in southern California. They are a legit firm (a collection agency for businesses). But I have my own goons for that.

There are no "legitimate" debt collectors.  Not a one of them can follow a simple law.  But thanks for bringing this criminal enterprise to our attention.

I already caught them in a lie.  Stay tuned for more on this wonderful "legitimate" debt collector that spoofs phone numbers.

Caller ID says Alejandro Arauz and wanted to talk to the owner. Then he said can I touch your pee pee? WEIRD ?!!?..then hung up.

You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

Website says they are in Florida and have a Judge in their pocket (wonder how much bribe money that costs?):  http://mhg.bz/contact/
Something else interesting.  Their website claims they are accredited by the BBB, but the link returns back to their website, not the BBB’s website as it should.
BBB gives them an A- and specifically says that they are not accredited, that they have 8 complaints, and 2 negative review:  https://www.bbb.org/south-east-florida/busine ... ach-fl-90352573

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Called for the accounting division at our business, and tried getting detailed information of what it was concerning and got that he was looking for a payment status, I had asked if he had an invoice number and didn't, so I had asked for the load information and he hung up...sounds like a scam caller to me!

Calling from (561) 450-5424 (FL), but giving a return call # of (714) 209-7376 (CA)
This time "Chris" asked to talk to Accounts Receivable, and then asked if xxxx was Accounting or the Owner?!  To take a message for A/R I actually had to ask him for his business name - he was not  going to volunteer it.  Of course it turned out to be Martini, Hughes & Grossman.
(They've called us several different times in the last few weeks, although we've told them we DON'T NEED their collection service.)

Called our office on 2/5 and asked for accounts payable. I needed to know what they were calling for, and they offered collection services. I told him that we are not in need that our customers are good about paying and no there are not any outstanding debts owed to us. They said they will try back later, but I told him that AP would tell him the same. These unwanted and extremely annoying calls stop with me, the best phone guard ever!

They can stop permanently with a certified, return receipt letter on a company letterhead sent to these crooks, who by the way have a habit of stiffing the businesses they claim to collect for.  See my post on the front page.

Sean Hernandez called with a terrible connection.  I could barely understand what he was saying.  I constantly had to ask him to repeat himself.  He said he was calling from a debt collection agency and wanted to know if we needed their services.  We don't need their services but if we did we wouldn't do business with a company who illegally cold calls numbers on the do not call list.

This number 'cold-called' me to ask if I needed any help recovering debts from 'anyone that owes' me. I quickly informed them I'm not interested and to remove my number from their list. Based on the comments I read here, let's see if they do!
