Scam Description

I received a call from someone identifying himself as Chris Marlin, Employee ID # VCN1185. He said that someone had tried to open a credit card using my social security number (which he had), and wanted to know if I did that (which I didn’t). He then asked me to verify a list of other credit cards. He said my credit report was frozen now and would be under investigation. Tried to transfer me to a supervisor (Andy Solomon) who referenced the same phone number. I hung up several times and they kept calling me back, except the incoming number was not the number they gave.
