I used to get these things all the time in Phoenix. They would leave messages telling me that I (Wayne) had a complaint filed and they wanted my side of the story. Even provided a case number.

These people called today. I didn't answer. The "voicemail" they left was just a bunch of people talking in the background. Another one to block I guess.
