I received a call to my work cell phone telling me that my check card had been compromised and that I needed to call an 800 number in order to verify my identity.
Knowing it was fake, I called the number anyway out of curiosity and received a standard "please leave a message" automated voicemail. I went ahead and filed a report with the FCC (as this sort of behavior is highly illegal) and they did mail me a copy of my complaint just in case I ever need it. Of course, nothing was wrong with any of my credit cards.
It's the equivalent of a phishing scam over the phone. Just ignore it and move on. If your phone has caller ID, I would be willing to bet the call came from outside the USA.
