I have to wonder why an allegedly “legitimate “business would need so many phone numbers to call out on?

Looks like they get sued a lot:

Looks like they are predisposed to breaking the law: http://yourcreditrx.blogspot.com/2013/10/unit ... a-v-credit.html
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) 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, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

they call every other day and ask for my adult daughter. when i tell them she is not available, they say they cannot give me any info but are calling from a collection agency. we checked her credit report and there is nothing showing on it. I asked if they would leave a number for her to call back or mail her something so she would know what this is about. They said there is nothing they can do and that they will just drop my phone # from their list.
"....they say they cannot give me any info but are calling from a collection agency..."
That's illegal. A bill collector can only tell the debtor that they are calling about debt. Telling you that they are a collection agency proves they are not legitimate debt collectors. Ignore them. Ask your provider if the calls can be blocked.
If you haven't told your daughter about the calls you need to. She needs to check her credit report on all 3 agencies and keep checking until this scammer gives up.
