I currently act as Power of Attorney for my Mother. She received a phone call today from a CCR & Associates on her voicemail. The caller stated his name as "Ian Curtis" at 1-888-872-8034 ext 602, and said that if we did not return his call regarding fradulant activity with her social security number they would be taking further legal action. He even left a case #. I did call the number as my Mother did have a history of bad credit in the past (hence the reason I am her POA). Ian told me that he could not share any further information with me unless he spoke to my Mother to verify her SS # and get her permission to speak with me. At this point I then knew it was fraudulant activity, as you should NEVER give your SS# over the phone.
Please be careful!
Does anyone know out there if there is someone I should report this to, so someone else doesn't get pulled into this scam?

I'd suggest that you send a DV to them.
