No, Regulatory Services confirmed the call to be legit.

-- If that is the case, then the agency ought to make the routine calls more "secure" for instructors like you wgoforth so you don't have to worry whenever you get a call like that.

And I agree with you. Why check on your certs and other documents when they probably have that on their records?

I've read about scam calls before and if that's the type of call I'd get, I'd think it's a scam. Strangers shouldn't be calling for my information and papers without properly identifying themselves. And even if they do, I wouldn't be very convinced. With all these scams going on, it's hard to tell a legit from a fraudulent call.

If that is indeed a valid call, the authorities involved better find a safer and secure process in checking on instructors.
