Scam call claiming to be from Equifax or The Work Number, but it's not legitimate.
The Work Number calls: What you need to know
Summary — +18666623339
Expert Opinion
Imagine getting a call from 866‑662‑3339 asking for an employee’s start date and salary. That number belongs to The Work Number, an Equifax‑run service that many lenders use for employment verification. Legitimate requests always come with a signed authorization, a reference number, and a way to call back on a publicly listed number. Before sharing any data, confirm the caller’s identity, request a callback to the official Work Number line, and verify the written consent. If the call feels rushed, contains spelling errors, or you never gave prior permission, treat it as suspicious, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC or your employer’s security team. Stay cautious and protect personal payroll details.
