received call from 310-441-7199, said was consumer fraud prevention. Not sure what the fallout is from this but I will contact phone company. Caller ID was NTVCC. They gave warning about fraud but didn't try to sell anything. They knew my name and claimed my name and number was stolen from boiler shop investment.

Who we are:
The National Telemarketing Victim Call Center (NTVCC) is a 501 c (3) nonprofit organization that provides education and prevention services to consumers who have been victimized or are at risk of being victimized by mass marketing frauds. Managed by a Board of Directors, the NTVCC is supported by funding from AARP Foundation, contributions and other grants.
What we do:
The NTVCC has partnered with local, state and federal law enforcement and obtained names and telephone numbers of victims and/or potential victims ("leads") pursuant to search warrant raids. We operate a Call Center or "Reverse Boiler Room" where volunteers gather to contact fraud victims and other people at risk. The Fraud Fighter volunteers warn of high pressure telephone "pitches" promising low risk/high profit investment or prize opportunities in hopes of preventing further victimization. They talk about current scams, offer tips on avoiding fraud, and provide referrals to local agencies.
Fraud: the facts
According to Congress, Americans lose nearly $40 billion each year to fraudulent marketing. Every day, con artists contact people by telephone, mail and over the internet with new scams. The criminals pretend to offer jobs, credit cards, lottery tickets or can't miss investments. They might ask you to make a donation, or pay taxes to claim a big prize.
If you ever do business with a dishonest telemarketer, your name and phone number may get added to lists of interested buyers. Criminals buy these lists from each other and often target these consumers with all kinds of fraudulent offers.
Fraud: the costs
Fraud and scams take a heavy toll on consumers, especially older consumers. Victims lose their financial security and their peace of mind. Most older adults who suffer a large loss from fraud never recover the money.

Caller claimed to be with "Consumer Fraud". Told me my name and number were found in a boiler shop investment scam company and that I shouldn't give my personal information out to anyone.
