Received a call from this number. Recording said something about acquisitions and apologized for calling the wrong number!? Maybe because I picked up and there were no operator available?

Barry Adams, Tayna West, Rick Webber, Ty Tymkovich(all of 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.
