I received a similar call and same pattern- " there are federal complaints against you.......call officer Tom Savran" The person appear to be male with accent and hard to get a complete picture.Most likely an Indian accent with fast pace sentences.
I plan to notify FTC and other agencies to stop these annoying calls.What else can be done to STOP this scam?
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 a year ago:
