This number keeps calling but leaves no message.  Seems like these guys are still in the scam business.

keeps calling no id no callback available

A guy named Robert left a cryptic message saying he needed to talk about "bankruptcy". I'm a bankruptcy attorney, so that is what a potential client usually says.  Well, he is no client.  He is a telemarketer.  Beware.

I received countless calls, night & day, from this number. I never answered any of the calls, I am on a "Do Not Call" list but still received them. How do I stop them from calling me again? This is harassment!! Do I call the police and/or BBB?

Got the exact same message tonight.

Attorney General files lawsuit against two Englewood businesses, their owners suspected of defrauding more than 700 businesses
12/18/2009

DENVER — Colorado Attorney General John Suthers announced today that attorneys from his office’s Consumer Protection Section have filed a lawsuit against two Englewood-based businesses and their owners, Tyrone E. Tymkovich (DOB: 12/30/1977) of Aurora and Sam Levine (DOB: 2/1/1967) of Castle Rock, who are suspected of defrauding more than 700 businesses in Colorado and other states between July 2006 and September 2009.

According to the complaint, Tymkovich, Levine or their employees at Englewood-based Corporate Acquisitions Group and Englewood-based Global Acquisitions Group would approach small businesses and inform them that either buyers were interested in acquiring their firms or their businesses could be sold. Tymkovich, Levine and their employees are accused of convincing more than 700 businesses in Colorado and other states to allow them to conduct an appraisal of their business for $5,000. Of the $5,000 Tymkovich and Levine’s businesses collected from their clients, only about $1,000 of the fee was actually devoted to completing the appraisals.

Throughout the process of courting new clients, Tymkovich, Levine and their employees are accused of lying to client businesses about the success of Corporate Acquisitions Group and Global Acquisitions Group. For example, Tymkovich and Levine are alleged to have created promotional materials that said they have taken in $7 million in revenues in 2007 and implied that the profits were due to sale commissions. In fact, of the $2.8 million Tymkovich and Levine’s businesses reported over the past two years, less than $100,000 came from sale commissions. The other $2.7 million came from the appraisal fees they charged.

Tymkovich and Levine also are alleged to given the clients a money-back guarantee in the event of no sale occurring. However, Tymkovich and Levine only followed through when a business complained to either the Better Business Bureau or the authorities, according to the complaint.

The Office of the Attorney General has requested that an Arapahoe County District Court judge order Tymkovich and Levine to stop their fraudulent business operations, bar the duo from committing fraud in the future, and order Tymkovich and Levine to pay restitution.

Run...He is a notorious scam artist thriving on small business owners who may wish to sell in such a questionable economy.  Go with an established, credible and honest firm like Business Acquisitions, IBG, CBR or Touchstone.

Got a message in Denver from this number at 7:06 pm. Sounds like a scam. Be smart people. Don't give out info over the phone to a random caller.

Thanks for the site.

I got a call from this number also and a year or so ago another from a Colorado number. They claimed they had a customer wanting to buy our business. I did a little reasearch, got all the same contact info (office on Inverness Drive) and drove out there. They do have their name on the list of businesses in the building, but all of the offices looked empty of furniture and people. Very interesting. Who the heck are these people. They wanted all sorts of info. about us but the meeting never materialized.

Rick Webber (?) from some "Acquisition" group. Reached us in error.  Sounded like a recorded message.

I called the number and got a whole list of extensions and full names.  maybe we should google their home numbers and call them...

Same message...has anybody spoken with Rick? Or does he just call at night?

Same message from Rick Weber at Corporate Acquisitions - something last week (November 20-ish)
I did reverse look-up for the phone number and it's listed for Young's Auto Supply on Halstead St in Chicago.

Sounds like a scam, but since I'm interested in selling my business, it got my attention.

I received a similar message on my business voice mail. I didn't bother calling back either esepcially after reading the posts on this site. I am not even selling my business at this time....

Same message, thought it was probably a scam.

Got the same message as Sue did.  I know Mr. Webber didn't know who he was calling because we are a municipal government not a business.

same message  as sue..  11/20/2008

Got a message at 7:15 monday night from a Rick Webber at Corporate Acquisitions in Chicago stating that someone is interested in paying top dollar with commission and value of business.  It sounds like a scamm to me !  Thanks for this website.

Tyrone E. Tymkovich, CEO of Corporate Acquisitions Group LLC, has had his real estate license permanently revoked in the state of Colorado as of April 27th, 2009, because of outstanding violations, and he has a list of outstanding fines to the State.

You can find a PDF of the stipulated agreement here on the Colorado Division of Real Estate website:

Rick Webber, Ty Tymkovich(Corporate Acquisitions Group, LLC), and Marvin "Randy" Hicks(PBS + Alliance Acquisitions) are all part of the same scam system.

They offer clients a ?100 percent money back guarantee? that they will find qualified buyers for businesses. When clients tried to claim the refund, they deny the claims.  Sellers are required to pay a designated fee to the scammers for acting as an intermediary with buyers, a designated sum for hiring an independent firm to prepare a valuation of the business that was being sold, and a fee for successfully matching a seller and a buyer.  In order to deny the guaranteed refunds, they provide clients with sham matches. The buyers claim they are qualified but in reality have no interest in purchasing the clients? businesses.  In order to deny the guaranteed refund, they provide clients with references identifying individuals who were represented as business owners who had sold their businesses through the efforts of the scammers.

Marvin Randolph Hicks: One count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, six counts of wire fraud via telephone calls and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

You will get more info on Rick Webber, CAG Chicago and their scam.

Just got a call from them too. Couldn't even hear the name, just the phone number.

One more strange thing.  I just Googled this number, and according to:

http://www.payphone-project.com/numbers/usa/IL/CHICAGO/312-821-9022.html

the number belongs to a pay phone at Young's Auto Supply near 128th and S Halsted.  But I just called the number back, and auto voice mail picked up saing, "Thank you for calling Corporate Acquisitions."

Just got a call from this number.  Caller ID said Chicago IL.  I answered it, and a recording said, "Sorry.  You have have been reached in error.   This is the Corporate Acquisition Group.  312-821-9022."   Then it disconnected.  Very weird.  By the way, it would be midnite in Chicago when the call was placed.
