From several sources:

Robo-calls purporting to be from "Lamont Williams" have been going out recently to North Carolina voters, saying that they must fill out a registration packet that is coming in the mail in order to be able to vote. This is deceptive in two ways: 1) the deadline for mail-in registrations has already passed in North Carolina, and 2) many of the victims are *already* registered. Apparently, African-American households are being targeted in particular.

The responsible group is called "Women's Voices, Women's Vote." It has been involved in confusing voters in a number of previous elections.

If you get a call like this--it is a lie. Ignore it. Pass it on.

The local League of Women Voters in your area will have information on how to register to vote, and will be more than happy to provide it to all comers, male and female.

That is all.

What's the aim of the scam? To collect information from people? To make them think they can't vote?

Not seeing any answers overnight, I did some searching and found this.

A dirty trick by the Clinton gang? (Oh, excuse me, a "rules dispute"!) That would be interesting.
