Imagine picking up a voicemail that claims an unknown “NCRI” is running a background verification on you. The same script—mentioning a background check, using a maiden name, and urging you to call 855‑705‑0249—has popped up across multiple carriers and even business lines. This consistent wording points to an organized scam rather than a legitimate agency. Hang up, block the number, and never return the call. If you’re unsure, look up the company separately, contact the actual employer or credit bureau, and report the incident to the FTC or your phone carrier. Staying skeptical and protecting personal data are the safest moves.

The person on the phone was very rude and demanding, asking for personal info
Investing in this approach wil be the best desicion you've ever made. Also, it's crucial to send it via first class mail, incase no one is avaliable to sign for it. Make a note of this fact at the bottom of the letter, as well as reporting them to the relevant agencys, which I have providd links to. Then, you should consult a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis, with no upfront costs, and let them compensat you for the harrasment.
