This is a scam, trying to get your personal information.  Do NOT believe the people with positive comments above.

From Choicepoint...called me early in the morning on weekdays and weekend.  Also got this call after contacting vital statistics.  I was never able to call them back because the number would not go through.

None

I am very skeptical about answering any calls I don't recognize and usually let the voice mail take messages.  I too received a call from CHOICEPOINT this morning before 8:00 am.  I am here now finding this very interesting that so many people have had the same experience.  Odd part is, I've never ordered any vital documents, but am on the verge of filing for a divorce.  Perhaps this is truly a coincidence or wrong number dialed.  I thank Heather for her extensive research and have jotted down some information from her findings to question CHOICEPOINT about should I decide to talk to them.  (If the call gets to a person that is!)

This number called me twice and it is Vital Check Recording service (automated) to inform me of two birth certificates I recently ordered. Just to let you know I believe it is legit after reading other comments.

got a call on 12/16/11 at 5:.34 p.m. from 770-810-6001 listed as Choicepoint on caller ID.The voice message stated that the vital records that I ordered are ready. Don 't know who this is and never ordered such animal.

I just called VitalCheck and they do not recognize this number or who it is calling.  According to the rep, the order for the birth certificate is fine.

I think this must be some scam from ChoicePoint.

Recieved a call from this number and couldn't get to the phone in time.  Can't dial back in.

I just ordered my Birth Certificate (per Oklahoma's own website for doing it online -vs- mail or in person) through vitalcheck

Probably just verifying.  Not really worried.

I did a follow-up with the SS folks.

They deny ever using or contracting with either choicepoint or vital check (one in the same co.) for issuing replacement cards.

I find it utterly strange that I got such a call from vitalcheck and never, ever requested their services and yet their call comes a day after I requested the SS folks to send me an app. for a replacement card.

I do not believe in coincidences.

My caller ID said "ChoicePoint", a name that was vaguely familiar with and figured it was a sales call of some sort.

I was busy so I let my recorder get the message.  Unfortunately, I only got 1/2 the message they left as I assume their pre-recorded outgoing message to me started talking when mine did.

My caller ID said "ChoicePoint."

Due to needing to renew my (mandated enhanced) driver's license soon I did apply for a new SS card (which I probably misplaced 40 years ago in one of my dozens of moves) which, among other original documents, the state requires.

I am absolutely appalled that our govt. appears to be farming out basic services such as  a re-issue of a SS card.  That's not something of mine that I want to go through private and unregulated hands.

Many thanks to Heather for the background info on Choice Point she provided.

I'll be talking to my congresscritter on this issue.  Glad it is an election year.

From Vital Check.  I had initiated the process of getting a birth certificate from the State of NJ

Recieved a call from this number, no message was left and when I called back there was nothing.

Vital Records is the company that many counties use for birth certificate and other county record requests. Some counties require a verification before completing the order for the birth certificate so Vital Records has you fill out the information and get it notarized before scanning it back in to them. Then they complete the order and send the birth certificate (or other document.) This call is a reminder for people who have not sent their verification in.

I did not order anything but they are saying I did some, and verifying something
Is some know what this company dose?

The no# is automated crap from vita records I had made an attempt to get a birth certificate from them and but did not have all the info needed to complete the transaction, it is there auto response msg trying to tell you to complete the order. have not figured out how to get it to stop yet, get the calls once a week so far.

Received a call from that number today, they left no message. I did order death certificates but it was from the county...I did try and call the number back, twice, and it did not go thru.  Who knows what these people are up to?

https://www.vitalchek.com  is the site Its for Virginia records and such.

I just got a voicemail from this number saying they've received my verification documents for the birth certificate I ordered and to allow 24-48 hours for it to be reviewed. I received the birth certificate I ordered 5 days ago. lol

Same story - I ordered a birth certificate from MA a couple of weeks ago, and I received a call today telling me to hold for the next Choicepoint rep.  Then the phone went dead.

I just received the same call.  I ordered a birth certificate.  The call came in at 8 a.m. on EASTER!  I assume it is best to ignore them.  I also have a UPS tracking number.  Hope this isn't a scam.

Received message from this number regarding an order placed with them. Strange but I have not ordered any of personal documents from them. # appears to be registered to Vitalchek. I hope this was just a misdial.

Very strange that another person, with the same initial, ordered a birth certificate, from New Jersey, through Vital Check, checked the internet, found this site and posted about it only a couple days apart..
Very odd!!!!
Moments after the call came I received a confirmation email that the order was in process.
Same as the others: phone rings and when picked up I was told to hold but it disconnected instantly. Received 2 calls about 5 hours apart.

I got this phone call at the same time I received an email from VitalChek that a death certificate I ordered had been shipped.  The email gave an UPS tracking number, but it's not in the UPS system yet.   The call said to hold for the next operator and then I was cut off. Should I be worried?

I forgot to mention that this number is 770-810-6001.  :)

This number belongs to ChoicePoint.  Here's some info I found about them.  This is MUCH more than just verifying your info.

At Privacy International's  Big Brother Award ceremony held in Cambridge, MA on March 7, 2001, ChoicePoint received the "Greatest Corporate Invader" award "for massive selling of records, accurate and inaccurate to cops, direct marketers and election officials." At Privacy International's Big Brother Award ceremony held in Seattle, Washington in April 2005, ChoicePoint received the "Lifetime Menace Award" for its continued efforts to build dossiers on individuals.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is conducting an investigation of Choicepoint and other commercial data brokers, in part based on a complaint that EPIC filed at the agency in December 2004. In that complaint, Chris Jay Hoofnagle and Daniel J. Solove urged the agency to investigate the compilation and sale of personal dossiers by data brokers such as ChoicePoint. EPIC argued that the dossiers may constitute "consumer reports" for purposes of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, thus subjecting both the information seller and the buyer to regulation under the Act. Furthermore, EPIC argued that it is incumbent upon the Commission to analyze whether the sale of these dossiers circumvents the Act, giving businesses, private investigators, and law enforcement access to data that previously had been subjected to Fair Information Practices.

Some dossier products, such as the company's AutoTrackXP report, are sold without complying with the substantive and procedural protections in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, a 1970 law that broadly regulates the compilation, use, and dissemination of "consumer reports."

AutoTrackXP reports contain Social Security Numbers; driver license numbers; address history; phone numbers; property ownership and transfer records; vehicle, boat, and plane registrations; Uniform Commercial Code filings; financial information such as bankruptcies, liens, and judgments; professional licenses; business affiliations; "other people who have used the same address of the subject," "possible licensed drivers at the subject's address," and information about the data subject's relatives and neighbors. They are similar in scope and in use to standard credit reports normally protected by the Act. By selling them without the Act's protections, ChoicePoint is subverting the policy goals of federal information privacy law.

EPIC argued that companies like ChoicePoint are returning people to a pre-Fair Credit Reporting Act era, one marked by "unaccountable data companies that reported inaccurate, falsified, and irrelevant information on Americans, sometimes deliberately to drive up the prices of insurance or credit.

Later in December 2004, Choicepoint answered the EPIC letter, disputed charges, and called for a national debate. EPIC responded by challenging the company to a public debate.

In February 2005, EPIC supplemented the Choicepoint complaint. The supplemental letter raises three additional issues relevant to the rise of commercial data brokers. First, an article written by Robert O'Harrow Jr. of the Washington Post quoted Choicepoint representatives saying that the company acts like an "intelligence agency" and that the data industry should be subject to new regulations because of how personal information is being used. O'Harrow's article demonstrated the reliance on commercial data brokers for decision-making, and the growing importance that the brokers' data be accurate and their
practices accountable to the public.

Second, the letter included a dialogue from Declan McCullagh's Politechbot.com mailing list concerning the December 2004 complaint. A list message from a private investigator who uses Choicepoint noted that the company maintains an audit trail of clients who access personal information. The EPIC letter points out that law enforcement users are not subject to the audit trails, and that EPIC is unaware of a single case where a commercial data broker has turned in a user for prosecution as a result of an audit showing prohibited use of the service.

Last, the letter included a transcript of a recent television broadcast, "Someone's Watching," that aired on Dec. 18, 2004, on the Discovery Times Channel. The broadcast shows two private investigators using a commercial data broker to access a stranger's Social Security Number, employment details, and other information without any legal justification.

Also in February 2005, Choicepoint announced that the company sold personal information on at least 145,000 Americans to a criminal ring engaged in identity theft. EPIC urged the company to make available to those whose personal information was negligently disclosed the same information made available to the crooks. "It is not only a matter of fairness, but also a critical public safety concern that these individuals have in their possession the same information about them that you gave to criminals," said the February 18 letter from EPIC.

California police have reported that the criminals used the ChoicePoint data to make unauthorized address changes on at least 750 people, and investigators believe that personal information of up to 400,000 people nationwide may have been compromised.

It's from Vital Records.  They have a service where they work with state and local officials to obtain things like birth certificates and death certificates.  I ordered a Birth Certificate, but I don't care for their verification process, so I'm going about it another way.

Got a call on 8-3-09 from this number and another number leaving the same voicemail message on my cell. Message said that it was from vital records search and that in order to process my order they needed my government issued ID sent to them.  Problem is that I didn't order anything from vital records. They did not leasve a call back number or website.  I called the local police and they said it was just  a scam, told me to google the phone number and see what I find.
