They say i am going to jail if i do not pay. They will not tell you anything about them. They want to know all about you. Do not tell them anything about you . Tell them to send you some paper work. They tell you they will send it to you when you pay the money. They call from a 911 number. They tell you to call 202-239-0660. And ask for Ansley Robinson
I just received a phone call saying that a complaint has been filed in my name and that if I don't call the 2022390660 number a warrant will be put out on me and the police will be coming to arrest me. I was totally caught off guard she kind of sounded like a computer talking but she could not tell me anything about it I wish something could be done to stop this type of thing

ID themselves as "Criminal Investigation Division"--basically a debt collection scam where they call you up and threaten you with criminal prosecution to collect a civil debt. Being in ordinary civil debt is not a crime and you cannot be arrested for it. This is a clear violation of the federal rules regarding debt collection.

1. Threats of arrest warrants (bogus)
2. Callers impersonating court officer and talking about criminal charges and threats to issue warrants for fraud.
3. Callers impersonating court officials from the federal claims court in Wash, DC and making threats about personal loans.
These are all violations of the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT
If they continue to bother you, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now. If you can find them.
