Description

"Candy/Personnel Concepts" called a business where I volunteer regarding OSHA posters; the caller ID indicated "Kindred, ND." "Candy" initially asked to speak with Lois or Louis and was informed no one by that name worked at the business. "Candy" then explained the nature of her call. When informed the business had not ordered posters, she indicated Personnel Concepts had received a check and needed more information. I requested the check number -- which she gave me after I gave her my first name -- and a phone number that our finance chair should contact. She gave me a toll-free number -- 1-800-333-3795 -- and in searching that number, discovered the call is, more than likely, a scam. No money was lost but suspect phone calls will continue...…… I also found it "interesting" that she knew my first and last name. I had only given her my first name when I asked for the check number but I have not had any previous telephone conversations with anyone from Personnel Concepts. I do not know if "Candy" visited previously with other employees of the business to know "who" to speak with.
