I received a call from Officer Steve Matthews with a heavy Indian accent. I applied for a payday loan and never received it. He said I needed an attorney and he had a warrant for my arrest. Scammers, it's ridiculous!

Got calls from two different numbers from "Joe McCoy, attorney at law" threatening me with arrest if I don't pay a debt. First call today from 253-216-6983, left a message saying there were 2 warrants out for my arrest for cyber fraud and money laundering. When I called back, "Joe McCoy", with a thick Indian accent, was very rude and could not explain who filed these charges against me. He wanted my attorney's phone number and I said I didn't have one. His response was "well, you better get one soon or you will go to jail". I called the local sheriff's office and they put me through to the FBI who explained it is called a phantom debt collection scam. I also called my local police and they said at this time there is nothing they can do except take an information report. I got another call from "Joe McCoy" this afternoon again threatening me. I told him I reported his number and name to the FBI and they are looking into his activity. Then he really got nasty and the wanted the agent's name and number. I told him I was not going to give him that information because he is under investigation for fraud and scamming people out of money. He then told me I was the "[***] scamming his clients" in Madagascar, India, not America. So I told him to go ahead and arrest me, I could use the free meals in jail and hung up. My local police did tell me they do not issue warrants for uncollected debts. I plan on calling the local news station as well.
