Very true. I think the reason why these idiots are able to get away with this bull crap for so long is because they are off shore in a foreign country somewhere. These losers need to be stopped!
This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information from unscrupulous websites like the one you may have filled out an application with, and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.
ABC News released an investigative report on this scam in June. The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:
I just received a call from 314-338-3610 & they left a message stating that they needed to talk to the parents of my son who is only 6 months old in regards to medical assistance & to call back 888-860-3537 it says they are Human Arc. I looked up the company which is legit but not sure why they are calling from a st louis number & want me to call a 888-860-3537 which is no where on there website. Must be a scam because I don't need any medical assistance at all.
