A caller claiming to be from a financial services firm said you were listed with the credit bureau for an outstanding debt. This is a classic debt collector ploy that tries to create urgency and fear. Never share personal or banking details over the phone, especially when the request feels off‑script. Hang up, look up the official phone number of the alleged company, and call back to confirm. Use your phone’s block feature or a third‑party app to silence repeat offenders. Report the number to your carrier and to local consumer protection agencies so they can track patterns and warn others.
Someone pretended to be from a financial services firm, alleging I’m listed with Credit Bureau for an outstanding debt. I hung up when I told him his claim was nonsense.
