Automated message asking for somebody at my business, somebody we don't know and this was the number on caller ID. Company is Elmwood Associates and the message they left stated that they had "Personal information" that needed a "response" that same day by that person or their attorney.  The number they left to call was (888) 352-9849.

Upon further research, it appears to be a new crop up of yet another junk debt collector (out of Buffalo, NY of course) using illegal and harassing tactics. Per their website, which looks pretty amateur, "Elmwood Associates is debt recovery company specializing in the recovery of bad checks and authorized ACH drafts."  They claim to be a "leader" in the industry, but their web domain was only registered in April 2012.

Also using (951) 571-3947 and (562) 353-4161

More dummy numbers so it looks like homebody local is calling, increasing the chance you'll pick up. You block on, they just call back from another.

I'm handing this over to our attorney now because they are harassing our business line for somebody who doesn't even work here.
