Yesterday afternoon, a wave of reports flagged calls from the 610‑973‑5998 number claiming to represent Dun & Bradstreet. Most callers identify themselves as telemarketers trying to update business information or sell credit‑reporting services, often demanding credit‑card details up front. While some legitimate vendors do use D&B branding, the pattern of vague scripts, pressure tactics, and requests for financial data points strongly toward a scam. Protect personal and business data by refusing to share financial info, verifying the caller through official D&B channels, and blocking the number. Report suspicious activity to the FTC and consider adding the number to a do‑not‑call list.
Dun and Bradstreet are basicly crimminal extortionists, report them to your state attorney ASAP.
It seem like a disreputable scam operation of some sort when i answer the call from a local number and no one speak, i did hear someone saying hello faintly though
Today, I got a call from 1-610-973-5998...
Similar to the previous report, the caller claimed to be from Dun and Bradstreet, stating my credit rating had dropped due to a late payment on a non-existent credit line, and referred me to a suspicious website.
Despite expressing disinterest, the caller persisted, questioning how the decision was made without knowing the purpose of the call, which was met with a firm dismissal.
Similar to experiences reported by others, this number has been linked to Dun and Bradstreet telemarketers seeking to update information and potentially solicit funds from businesses.
Identified as a Dun and Bradstreet telemarketer, the caller aimed to update business information and solicit funds.
The caller claimed to be from Dun and Bradstreet, stating they had incomplete information about my business, but a simple internet search would have provided the necessary details, indicating that this was just another telemarketer attempting to gather and sell information.
A request has been made to remove my number from their list, and the outcome is pending
This was a clear case of telemarketing
