Have been calling several times a day for over a month. They are trying to solicit payment history information for our customer to build their "payment history" database.
They make it seem like an urgent matter with a case number asking us to resolve this important matter for our customer. The number they leave to call back just rings with no answer. 866-658-3140
I called the 973-929-3290 number and told them what happened with the other number, that we do not give out that kind of information about our customers, and to please stop calling. They pretend not to know anything about it then transfer me back to the unanswered 866 number. I did get put through to someone's voice mail after calling the 973 number back after they put me through to the unanswered 866 number. I again asked them to stop calling, that we do not give out that information, and that we are seriously annoyed at the interruptions and wasted time and resources. They called again after that in the afternoon. Complaint filed with FTC and will never do business with D&B or its affiliates again.
Like with Buss111 i got call from my cell. first time, no msg left; 2nd time, said he was from dun & bradstreet... talked so fast can't understand what he said... left 1-800-872-4349 and ref # to call back...
Called and asked about my name and position at my office. They knew my address as well. I told my name and position and they told that they just need to know this much. Is this identity theft kind of thing.
I got a call from this number, they left a message, "This is Dunn and Bradstreet, we're calling for anyone from the management to create a business information report for [company name], please call us immediately at 1800-872-4349 and reference case number 02496954". The caller ID is from Whippany, NJ. I believe they retrieved this information from public business records as I recently got a business license.
I have no business with this company, and am for certain they are only phishing for my personal information by posing as some type of professional company. When I called back the 973-929-3290, the recording said "If you are returning our call, we did contact you in attempt to update our records. You don't need to do anything at this time, we will call you back later to collect the data. Thanks for calling D and B".
I called the 800 number, I was connected to a representative. I asked what business is their company in? He said they collect business information, for other companies who are looking into businesses. "For example, if a bank or insurance company would like to know about your company they may contact us and ask for your profile information from our records". He then tried to persuade me to give my name, I told him no I would not be giving my name. I said I want to be removed from your call list, once I gave him the number, he tried to confirm if I was associated with [company name], I told him I will not be providing or confirming any information only asking them to remove my number from their system.
