Claimed to be experion background checks on behalf of a person I knew. Spoke very fast so felt very dodgy and attempted to get a second email from me that was different to what I had provided to my friend. Called a second time 4 days later but left no voicemail.

This isn't a scam. It is Experian and they do onboarding checks for employers.
As the person above, number shows as Experion (notice the o not a) regarding an employee reference. Was very dodgy so terminated the call without giving any information.
Say they are from Experion and want to talk about a previous employee (giving a name we don't recognise and we don't employ anyone). Very fast speaker with an accent, so very difficult to understand and just doesn't feel genuine. Have had calls 2 days on the run at around 4.30pm. Have blocked the number.
