There is no "federal legislator of customer affiliate of state of california".
There is no "Russell Miller", no "John", no "Shirley", no "Mike Wilson", no "Mike Cooper". They are all fake aliases.
Complaints against this number show a range of fraudulent telemarketing schemes. They appear to be phishing.

"I get a call every couple of days from this number! It's always the same female voiced recording talking about how the government has money for me or something."
"This number, 1-701-920-9465, 1-406-219-2076, and 1-701-920-9878 take turns calling every single day. All have the name HELPCENTER as their Caller ID name. "
This number (referenced in complaints against the above number) appears to be part of a block, indicating a call center. Again, complaints start January, 2011. Confirmation of "mortgage forclosure assistance" scam.

"recorded message is always left stating they are offering mortgage lending via government assisted programs."
The phone numbers they gave you appear to be red herrings, scams but possibly not even associated with this scammer. Usually such "debt collection" scammers use direct numbers, but change them every month or two.
Other complaints against this type of scam indicate they may be using phony on-line "payday loan" sites to get consumer information to use in their scheme, but they might also have access to credit reports, which would give them access to account numbers and SSN or DOB information, as well as skip-trace information which is used to threaten and harass relatives or employers.
Assuming you have not provided your account numbers to any such scammers, and you have not applied to any on-line "payday loan" sites, they may have finally gotten access to U.S. consumer account numbers. Their use of credit file and skip-trace information already indicated that they had infiltrated the legitimate financial data industry, and the fact that althrough they were operating from overseas, they had access to the payment system to get money out of U.S. consumer accounts indicates they have found payment processors willing to look the other way and ignore disputes.
Based on the other problems you have had with fraudulent charges, you need to open an account at an entirely different financial institution, before your current bank trashes your Chexsystem rating and makes that difficult. You might try a credit union, as you might get more personal help with this problem with a financial institution based locally.
Try to block or ignore the calls. DON'T GIVE ANY PERSONAL INFO!!!!
