This number is for a hiring agency

B***s***!

It is a legitamate number from a reputable company. Hire Right is one of the nations largest background checks companies. Practically all of the fortune 500 companies use Hire Right. You can request a personal background check or they may call you or an employer (previous or potential) to verify information. You can visit hireright.com for more information.

Called about a former subcontractor. He was a useless piece of crap and didn't do much work so I told them that and verified the timeframe. That's all they wanted. The guy calling was definetly from INDIA very hard to understnad..

Called me wanting to verify a former employee's dates of hire.  That's all.

Just got a call from Hire Right.  They said this call will be recorded.  I said I am not accepting this call and
hung up.  They called again BUT I did not pick up.

It called from HireRight which is a company doing background check. They help some big company to do background check for their employee. Although company seems registered in Irvine CA, I believe they outsourcing the customer service deparment to india. Therefore, this number is kind of internet phone number. This company even check my oversea education and working experience. kind of ridiculous to me. But definitely not a scam

This number is registered for a number of services, companies and people.  I'm not sure how it gets passed around like that.  The latest seems to be a company named 'Hire Right', which claims to be an employment service.  This number is listed for a Buddy Tate who is called a Data Correction Officer.  Since the company is located in California and the number is a Tulsa, OK number, I highly doubt the integrity.  Add to that, that there is absolutely no reason for this company to be calling me.

Sounds like a scam call to me.

Verification of Employment. Couldn't understand her when she said the name of the company.
