When I called, they sent another email pretending to confirm my email address. This email came from another email address: [email protected]
Then they started asking me for personal information. I shared the last 4 digits of my SSN, but then they asked about my driver's license, and then I got suspicious and declined to give any further information. I then disconnected the phone call.
