I received (as well as my entire family) a call from a Samantha Walker, claiming to be with the office of investigations, fraud division, threatening me with arrest if I did not pay an old debt within 2 hours at a "court approved payment location" , which would be at a Walmart or Moneymart. I contacted my attorney and he told me it was a scam. She has been reported a few times prior to this but the number she used then was 210-787-1817. My father is 87 years old and she left threatening, hostile messages regarding my so called debt on his machine, which, our course, worried the hell out of him for days. No one should be able to get away with that!

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.
