My caller ID identified the incoming call as coming from 312-895-3749.
An internet search showed me this is the company.
Merchants Credit Guide Co.So I gave a call over there and Harold Butler told me that I was getting the calls in error and that they were meant for someone named Sylvia.

He said that they'd remove my name from the list right away.
Cool. A collection agency that cares. :-)
I had the same call from Adam's friend Ken Hughes...... I did a search for the number and #2 listing on Google was your site, so I then called Ken and he corrected the situation....

Help Me please! I have gotten calls from hundreds of people over the past 2 years on my cell phone claiming that I just called them, but I didn't! apparantly what happens when you dial 312-895-3749 from certain locations in Arizona the call is automatically forwarded to my cell! my cell number begins with 602,, a phoenix area code. Sprint won't help me, I want to get ahold of the people in Chicago to tell them what they are doing to me... please help if you know anythin,, thanks

We've been getting these messages for awhile too. A google search led me to you. I will call Ken Hughes back. The funny thing is, he never says who is calling for... I was convinced it was a sales call.
ReplyDeletethanks, Alexa
Thanks so much for the information, I'm glad to be able to identify these parasites.
ReplyDeleteI have received two of these phone calls and I cannot get a hold of anyone. It was weird. I will try it again, thanks for the information.
ReplyDeleteThanks,

The guy has a speech impediment, speaks weird, if you ask me! :)
ReplyDeleteSteve, I've been getting the same calls, but from someone named "Ken Hughes." I researched this and found it all traces back to the same Merchants Credit Guide Company.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, I found this "Ken Hughes" character reported on two websites, badbusinessbureau.com and ripoffreport.com, both of which are, in turn, a scam operation by a fellow named Magedscen (sp?), who, according to several other sites, is a convicted felon who is attemping to get personal data he can use to scam people who register on either of his two websites. He also allegedly reports legitimate businesses on these sites and then charges them money to have their businesses removed from the sites.
I am writing this at ten minutes before my wake-up time, after having been awakened by one of these calls at 4:00am. I was so upset I couldn't get back to sleep again and this is not good, as I suffer from sleep apnea and occasional insomnia, as well, so the added burden of being awakened from what little sleep I managed to get tonight is not just a nuisance, but a very real threat to my health and my life.
