Scam information

This content is based on victim and potential victim accounts. Government agencies and legitimate business names and phone numbers are often used by scam artists to take advantage of people.

Description

The lady calling did not provide a company name, but said she worked for a compliance office. She called from a local number that when I called back, was the number for 3 companies who provided electric, AC and plumbing services. So I think she phished using their number. She called asking for a friend of mine, when I told her wrong number, she then called me by my full name. She said she had my phone number and address. I did not give her any information about myself or friend. She sounded very threatening about finding my friend, and also left her a message to call an 877 number. I am worried that if she calls enough people we know, someone will fall for providing her with personal information, which would subject us to fraud.
