These people called demanding money for a debt that that has been paid. Would not give me any information but said that they were providing a favor call as a warrant was being issued for me for fraud. The company does not exist in Washington DC....
Says they're a law firm calling about a criminal case filed in my county. Says a notification was sent to last known address. Then transferred me to some other guy. Did not sound professional and due to my not commuting a crime I figure it's a bogus call from a bill collector.

This is (one of many) criminal extortion scams that have been going on for years. Many are operating overseas and out of the reach of US law enforcement, while others are operating within the confines of prison cells here in the US, using contraband cell phones. Others are using VOIP. Either way, they are able to disguise their identities and locations, making them next to impossible to prosecute. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting victims' personal identifying information 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.
