I got a call from 815-380-9500 VERIFAX to verify my address information - this lady name ADRIAN PIERS/maybe this is her secret name knew my address history including my name and she was very calm like my mother, I forgot to ask her why she needed my address, when I called her back to ask her why was only answering system, I hope that she is not working for holywood because I do not want my info on their database........ I REGRET TALKING TO HER WITHOUT ASKING WHAT IS THE PURPOSE FOR MY INFORMATION. My advice to you DO NOT TALK TO ANYBODY who call you to verify any info about you - BETTER HUNG UP.....

My employer gave me the name & number from caller ID, of a man who called to verify my employment there. As I have gone through one case of personal identification theft already I inquired on the phone call. I called the number, a woman answered & had no idea who I was a why someone would call from her # to verify my employment. when I mentioned that a man named Darren had called me she said that was her husband, when her husband got on the phone he immediately started yelling at me and telling me never to call this number again, I told them I was inquiring on who was calling from this number because whoever called from this number called my place of employment and tried to verify my employment today, but he hung up on me. I've done some research on this phone number and it says that it is CompuLAN COM PUL AN systems in Lakewood Colorado but when I spoke with the woman on the phone she told me they lived in California, this makes me very nervous as to what type of business these people are running. Also when I was speaking to the woman and told her that I had googled her phone number and computer systems IT website showed up, she had no idea what I was speaking of but it Just made a bunch of red flags go up that he would not answer any questions. Please research this company and verify its legitimacy, I would hate to go through identity theft again. Thank you.  
This is the name and number that called to verify my employment- Darin Childers (303) 522-8042

Left a voicemail on my business line asking to verify employment.  I returned the call which immediately went to voicemail - the greeting simply said "Ruby".

Sounds strange to me.

This Verfacts called my place of business.  They asked about an employee job verification of job, I confirmed it than they wanted more information.  I refused to give out pesonel information over the phone.  They aske dif they could send a fax and have me fill it out.  I said they could send it but I will decide if and when to send it back..  Don't think I will, I do not like the sounds of  this organization.

Received a call from 815-380-9673 on my work phone, which I don't give out...asking me to verify my home address.  Because they didn't know which was one correct.  I told them I wasn't giving them any information and hung up.

They just called my office and tried to verify my employment.

Since I happen to work in the human resources industry, I know this to be a fact:
There are only two legal reasons to verify somebody's employment and that is if they are
A) Applying for another job
B) Applying for a loan or some type of financial assistance

In either case, the verifying entity MUST have written authorization from the person they are calling to verify information on.

I have not applied for any jobs.  I have not applied for any loans or financial assistance.  I have not authorized this company to verify any information on me as this is the first time I have ever even heard of them.  They are breaking the law on three fronts.

Four, if you count the violations on the Fair Debt Collection act that Carmen Jacobs (the name of the individual that called my office today) just committed.  My co-worker originally answered the phone and Carmen quoted her with my full social security number.  First of all, I don't know how she got it...but it's illegal for her to just give that information out willy nilly.

Then, as Carmen was making my co-worker (who also knew that Carmen was making an illegal request), my co-worker transferred the call to me.

Carmen didn't know that she was speaking with the person she was illegally trying to get information on.  When I asked her why she was trying to obtain this information, she said that she verifies information for financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies and that "Mr. (my name) has applied for a loan in a large sum of money that requires verification of financial information."

Carmen told a bold faced lie.  I have not applied for any loans, let alone a large one.  At that point, I kindly advised Carmen that we do not provide employment verification over the phone and asked her not to call my office again.

I promptly contacted Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office in Chicago, IL for this reason:
Verifacts, Inc. is located at 204 1st Avenue in Sterling, IL with a zip code of 61081.  They fall under this Attorney General's jurisdiction.

The person that I spoke with there stated that Verifacts, Inc. is certainly in the wrong here and encouraged me to file a complaint with her office.  And then...to both of our surprise...she looked the company up and found that there have been NO COMPLAINTS filed against these people!

Listen up!  If these people are contacting you, or contacting people to get information about you (ESPECIALLY EMPLOYMENT AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION) they are BREAKING THE LAW AND VIOLATING YOUR RIGHTS!

I have filed a complaint with the appropriate Attorney General's office.  PLEASE do the same and let's help each other protect our rights and our privacy!

Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office can be reached at (312) 814-3000

Also used number 815-626-9300.  I finally answered and said hello...they said hi and that they were from verifacts (not the company that sites use for processing cards, etc.) and that they wanted to verify the address...I asked why and she said if you verify the address then i can tell you...i said well...who are you looking to reach...they said the owner of (insert my company's name) and i said well you've reached a cellphone and i've never heard of that business...they asked if the business closed down and i said assuming so if they used this number and so she said okay and hung up...of course I called back to listen to the name of the company as well as talk around to some folks at the company using each option to see if i can catch anyone slipping up on what the company actually is...finally...i caught 1 slipping...they are a debt collection company...i guess they can try to search you now through business directories to try and find you at your job or your business so they can send you debt info and bug you all day...i can't stand these people that call for that instead of just saying they are calling for a debt and if you can make arrangements, etc...you'll never get me to be bothered calling like stalkers/scam artists

I have learned to NEVER answer any of the phone calls.  When a number calls in I ignore.  Then I check it online.  Thank Goodness!  I discover who it is and put that number into my contacts list under 'Don't Answer Ever' !  That way I know it is a number I've already identified!  Thanks to everyone that has already identified this number.

Nice that they call you at work and your employer has to deal with this sh**. Skip tracing company...looking to recover old debt from failed accounts, so the less you say the better. Never answer any questions about yourself to ANYONE, phone, email or in person. Silence is golden. I asked not to have any contact at my work number. But, now they know I work here. Yes, we are all broke...all have debt, the economy didn't leave us much choice. Now we are just trying to get back on our feet...in the mean time we have to deal with this at work?!! While we are trying to make a dollar? Sorry...even I don't get a dollar at the end of the month. Keeping the lights on and food on the table and gas in the car is a luxury. Skip tracers and collection agencies are not your friends.

800-542-7434, called my employer. Said they were Verifacts/Verifax, wanting to confirm employment. My boss woudln't give them anything without talking to me first. When I called even having an extention With the name "Eva", she said they were updating info for "banks, Insurance co.'s, student I.d. information, etc. not only did I not confirm my place of employment, but I asked her to be specific and tell me who gets access to this information? She said they don't sell it to anybody and would I just confirm my address. Then someone will send me a letter explaining what the info was for. I told her that I was not comfortable and would not be giving her anything. She said o.k., pleasantly enough and hung up.

Just got a call from Verifax.  815-516-8767
Questions:
1.)  Asked if I was working
2.)  Asked if I still resided at my resent address

I thought that this was a strange call......Then I did a little snooping and I've run into this blog.  Who are these people and what do they want with my information?

Sweet another number to add to the "send directly to voicemail"  Thanks for the info on it being a debt collection/info agency.  Basically they are trying to see if you pick up the phone to collect for some agency.  In my case my money is on Sally Mae.

Got a call yesterday, picked up, annoyed and said "hello...hello"...then the automated voice said they would put me on hold. You called me...dont put me on hold!!! another call today, let the machine pick up and the funny thing is that the message sounds like me from the day before saying "hello...hello". Creepy and weird. I have had calls on my direct line at work for someone else too from a similar company...i have literally talked to someone from that company 3 times to tell them the person they are looking for does not have that number....THEY STILL CALL.
