    I received a call in my cellphone from this number (8885551234) at 10:54 AM EST, a lady asked for my first name and advised that my checking account and address have been posted in a public computer... When I asked which company does she represents her answer was a name that was not familiar to me, I asked who published my information and the answered "they published that information in a public computer..." I requested to speak with a supervisor, she said that she was on charge of the call, I asked if the call was recorded she said "no, this call is not been recorded", I asked how did she knew that my information was published she answered "we monitor all the computers" (?). After that answer I asked more questions about the source of information she had and then she hanged up the call.

    I just got a call from this number as well stating that my bank account info was listed on a public computer.  I asked where they were calling from and they stated Nationwide Verification Services.  They started to tell me my address and I cut them off stating that I'm not going to verify anything until I can verify where they are calling from.  The guy hung up halfway through my address.  I tried to call the number back but it states that the call cannot be completed as dialed.  
    I checked online and there is no such business named Nationwide Verification Services and the number brought me back to this site.  Don't give them anything!!  They are trying to steal your bank info!!

    I just finally picked up this phone call after they called 4 other times throughout the day,starting this morning.  It showed up on caller ID as "not provided", nothing new in this day & age we're living in. What got me so upset was that I just called my bank today about a scam on the internet by a company called "Mineral Elements" by Eden, where they charged me $130.41.  The man who was on the other end said, "you gave your SS# or bank card over the internet & he was investigating fraudulant charges, so get my checkbook and read him all the numbers (routing and account #'s) on the bottom.  When I asked who his company was he said something about National something.  When I resisted and asked why, he said," whenever you write a check at the grocery store or anywhere else, you are giving that person the info when you write a check".  He said several times that this call was being recorded & didn't really like it when I said, "good"  I then told him I was nervous about giving him the info until I speak to my husband, and asked if he could call back, he hung up.  Between all the calls from magazine people (also scams looking for info, 100's of those calls,even after going to "Do Not Call.Gov.?) I'm ready to pay the $100.00 bucks to the phone company just so the calls will stop,or will they? This is becoming a scary world we live in- it's sad isn't it?  Good Luck

    I also received a call on my cell on Nov 5th at 2:48pm, and finally answered it after having received about 4 of them and getting tired of it. They stated they were also from Nationwide Verification Services and that my Checking Account number had somehow surfaced in their systems. In order to take it out they wanted me to get my checkbook to verify my account information (please??). I told him I don't think so, and he immediately hung up on me! Since then I'm also getting other calls for winning millions of dollars...wow! Don't know what's going on right now, but Be Careful!!!!

    Received a call this morning from a man with a middle eastern accent claiming my bank account information was mistakenly placed on a public site and was vulnerable to hackers.  He told me to get my checkbook so that I could verify my routing information and account number.  I asked him what company he was calling from and he stated "Pop lite"?  I couldn't really understand him.  I told him I would not give him my information and I also told him if he could verify the name of my bank I might talk to him.  He stated he was looking at my information but that I had the verify the information not him.  I told him I didn't know him and I wasn't telling him anything.  He hung up.

    fedup
    Caller claimed to be from Publisher's Clearing House, that we had won 1.5 million. Yeah, right! I was told to call 1-876-426-4572 for UPS. I kept asking (acted like I was hard of hearing) what company the woman was calling from and she kept rambling on about me going to Western Union to wire money, that a FedEx truck was going to arrive at my home within a 1/2 hour with a check. She even asked if we wanted to be on camera, that the camera crew would arrive with the truck. Ha! Was I born yesterday??? I was told to send the money via Western Union to "Nadia Baker Kingston Jamaica WIAW". They're still calling every day or two...
