I just received the same call from a lady with an accent, sounded hispanic. She said she was calling from the Internet Crime Complaint Center and that there had been 2 complaints made against me and that they were demanding a warrant be placed for my arrest and if I did not call her back they would place the warrant into effect.
A man by the name of Chris White (from India) called and left a message on my cell claiming he was with the Internet Crime Complaint Center and I needed to call him back immediately. Right after that he called me at my job! He said he was from Oak View Law Group needed to speak to my attorney. When I said I didn't have one he told me to be quiet and listen as he read the affidavit of the complaint against me. Apparently I owed money to Cash Advance USA and they got my information when I tried to apply for cash advance loans online the week prior. That's scary in itself. He said that if I did not pay the amount due, I was going to jail because it was fraud since my check bounced to that loan company. I NEVER had an advance loan with them! He said officers were going to show up at my work the next day and told me the address of my company! He said that if I did not have a lawyer present that day that I would be arrested on the spot and lose my job. He also threatened me stating that he would make sure I NEVER worked in the US again! I told him I would pay the debt and fight it later since it was a new job and didn't want any problems there. He told me the amount and I asked about making payments. When he told me to send the money to him via Western Union a red flag came up and I felt it was a scam so I asked him the phone number and contact information for Cash Advance USA so I could have some kind of paperwork describing this charge. He refused saying they were representing them and that company cannot be bothered. First off he gave two different company names trying to scare me into paying this debt and then he was only going to accept payment via Western Union. They do this, I found out, so it's untraceable. Lucky for me, I have an amazing boss and he checked all this out for me when I went into his office freaking out! I also filed a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center on the FBI's website. :)
I got a call similar to that yesterday, except mine was from a lady in India. She said she was calling from the Internet Crime Complaint Center and that there had been up to three complaints made against me and that they were demanding a warrant be placed for my arrest. That if I did not call her back they would place the warrant into effect. I called the police dept and they sent a policeman to my address listened to the message and he told me that it was a new scam that they use to scare people into giving them money.

I just got the same exact call from them....but this isn't the first time for me. The first time I did get scared and sgo to my local police dept. This time I just told her she had the wrong f'n person and to stop calling me. I kinda knew something was up when I called back and the first time there was no answer or voicemail. Then when she did answer she was stumbling over words.
