Expert Opinion
Earlier today, a call from +18662494339 pretended to be a Canadian credit bureau and asked for personal details. The script matches common scam tactics: name‑dropping, vague debt references, and pressure to verify identity. Hang up immediately and do not share any financial or personal information. Verify any alleged debt by contacting the agency directly using numbers from official websites, not the caller‑provided ones. Report the number to your phone carrier and to the national Do Not Call registry. Consider blocking the caller and monitoring your credit reports for unexpected activity.

Random call with a generic script, couldn't figure out the intent.
The caller addressed me by my full name, which was unsettling.
