    DB Research can also be found listed as Deutsche Bank Research, not the same company, but same name. Is this text originating from them?

    I got the same message, but a different phone number, 475-323-4387, maybe from the Russians. As I was researching the number, a message appeared with the same information and asked me if I wanted to translate the information, when translated, it was Russian.

  • August 21, 2020 at 11:18 AM by an anonymous user from: Oklahoma, United States

    Yes, I received the same message - only it came from (531) 229-1786. The website for the company, which appears to be legitimate, has a note saying these messages did not originate from them. It obviously us a scam!
