Lots of call centers get targeted with this type of scam. I think it's because call center employees are so poorly treated and compensated that it's appealing to join the scam. I've seen the same exact thing happen with QuickBooks support. The actual agent you're speaking with gives your contact info to the scammer who calls you back.

I've never seen this before but I imagine the call center employee has a lot more to lose being a part of fraud than the scammer who isn't legitimately employed and can't be found. Doesn't seem likely.
