Expert Opinion
Heads up: unsolicited calls claiming to be from Dun & Bradstreet are a frequent scam that preys on business owners. Callers typically cite “activity” on your credit report and demand a payment to “update” your file, but the company they represent is not the real D&B. The safest move is to hang up and never return the call; the number is widely reported as a telemarketing source. If you’re curious, contact Dun & Bradstreet directly using the official phone number on their website to confirm any legitimate outreach. Add the offending number to your phone’s block list, report it to the FTC, and consider registering with the national Do‑Not‑Call registry to reduce future nuisance calls.

Had a converstation with Daniel Patterson today, who claimed to be from D&B, saying he needed to speak with the owner regarding recent inquires into our account and gave a file number to reference, then asked me to call 1-866-257-6104 ext 1724.
For two consecutive days, I received voicemail messages purporting to be from Dun and Bradstreet, claiming it was crucial to speak with a specific individual from a particular company regarding some account activity. However, this company has been out of business for over 15 years, so there's no such account. Furthermore, I acquired their assets and now operate under a different business name. Moreover, the person they're trying to reach has been deceased for approximately 12 years, making it impossible to fulfill their urgent request. Clearly, this organization lacks access to current records.
I had the same experiance, Marlena left a voicemail saying I should contact her, she gave me a call back number and everyting, but it sounds like a scam to me.
Over the past 2 day's, they have called twice, claiming it's urgent that I call back immediatly due to some activity on our business credit report, with all the identy theft going on, they must think I'm crazy to pay hundred's of dollar's for them to take my company's financial's
