Description

Caller claimed to be from Experian reporting that my account information was “red flagged” and my credit card info was at risk for being stolen. Asked for my name, social, and credit card information without identifying who I actually was (I.e. caller did not state any of my info to me, just referred to me as “sir” & “you/your”.) I do not own any credit cards in the first place, hence the reason for this report.
