Calls claim they’ll freeze all your accounts unless you call back, and they often spoof a local number to sound legitimate. This pattern matches a classic extortion scam that masquerades as a debt collector, using your driver's license and SSN details to create urgency. If you receive a robotic voicemail citing a freeze, hang up and verify through the official creditor’s contact channel—not the number left on the message. Report the number to your carrier’s spam‑blocking service and file a complaint with the FTC. Stay cautious about sharing personal data over the phone, especially when the caller pressures you to act immediately.
The exact same call as previosly mencioned was recived. I intent to report them to my state AG office, as they have called me from numbers in my local area. All their numbers have been blocked, yet a voicemail about freezing my accounts using my DL and SSN still got through. Argh!!!!
Receiving the same call repeatedly, it's advisable not to return the call.
I recieved the same scam call as everyone else
It's unfortunate that some individuals resort to scams, claiming to represent social security or other entities, in an attempt to deceive people. Hopefully, others will be cautious and not fall prey to such tactics.
I get robotic message from NCIR say i have illegal activty with my ss number and driver license, but their website and number dont match, and why canadian debit collector call me from US number?
Apparently, NCRI is involved in fraudulent activity, claiming false charges were made by the recipient
Threats of account closure have been made by callers from this number
NCRI left a robotic message saying somthing about fraudulent transaction, but i think its a scam
A robotic voice called me by my name, I'm not sure if it's a scam or not, they provided a number but it's posible that it's spoofed.
An outdated name was used by the caller, one that hasn't been used in at least six years
I recieved a call today, and they adresssed me by my old name, which i havent used in 6 years, they wanted me to call them back, and claimed to have some kind of check system, but my phone said it was a Bixby call, so i dont know what to belive.
The preceding comments accurately describe the situation
The person on the phone didnt even use my oficial name, instead they used my nickname, and they were asking for my SSN and Driver License Number, claiming there was fradulent activity under my name
A similar experience was reported with another number, suggesting a pattern of behavior.
The caller is reportedly a debt collection company from Canada, National Credit Recovery, Inc., which has a poor rating from the BBB and operates in multiple countries.
The experience with this number mirrored others, possibly related to NCRI, if that is a legitimate entity.
The call was identical to a previous one.
Scammers often use tactics like calling acquaintances or workplaces, stating false debt information to create panic, and threatening to contact HR if not called back, which are illegal for real debt collectors.
My mom also received a call from this number, with the same message
The call involved a scam where personal and financial information was requested under the pretext of a check system, aiming to freeze accounts
A robotic voice claimed my driver's license and social security number were at risk of being compromised
