I got a message via voicemail from Jessica Olson about my "unsecured credit card debt".

The call came in at 9:30 this morning and the Caller ID read "UNKNOWN". (That was my first clue)

Listen to the voicemail:

Sounds fairly convincing, doesn't it? And, when you look up "Jessica Olson credit" on Google, several results show finance professionals with that name which could, to some trusting souls, help reassure that the call is legitimate. It is not.

When I did a search for the phone number she left in the voicemail, the YouMail site has people reporting it as a scam call.
