This is a collection agency, Receivables Performance Management.. If they continue to call you in error call them back and explain to them that the person they're looking for is not at that number and you will file suit against them based on the TCPA.
There is a huge difference between a "fake collection agency" and a real one that simply doesn't follow the law. For starters, you can't find any information on the fake ones. This one is not fake, which is good because they can be served with a lawsuit and the CFPB can fine them as well.
You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation, cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (think of it as the best $6.47 you 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.

I have to wonder why an allegedly “legitimate “business would need so many phone numbers to call out on?
Web page with contact info will not open for me.
BBB page accredited business with a B rating even though they have 322 complaints (6 complaints were removed so that they could keep their accreditation and score) and 38 negative reviews and the BBB has noticed a pattern to those complaints making illegal promises: http://www.bbb.org/alaskaoregonwesternwashing ... ood-wa-22666558

Lots more where they came from
It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and 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.
Read up on your rights here and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

same deal, just BLOCK it, there's news about they want to verify something with you (all conversation recorded by them), and when you say "Yes", they will cut that piece of audio out, and use it in some credit card charge voice verification, so beware.
