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:
I just received the same message saying I will be in great legak trouble, a man with a thick indian accent
this is absolute BS there has to be a place to report these people.
This person who called me had a thick indian accent. He said that he was calling from a legal firm and there was a lean on my social. I told him to stop calling and he proceeded to tell me that he would keep calling me all day long. I called the number back and he surprisingly picked up. After words were exchanged for him to take me off their call list I hung up. He then called back and asked me if I was on facebook cause he was looking at my picture. Started calling me baby and telling me he loved me. After the body part references started I wont pick up any more. I just wanted to know who the company was.
I was scammed by the Indian guy. He gaveme a warrant # and others saying to officers were coming to get me for fraud. They knew my address. So we all have bills and can't remember all tht we owe...I was dumb enough to send it. He terrorized me for 2 hrs on the phone and told me if I hung up I would be in deeper trouble. I sent the money thru a green dot card 1254.68!! Please do not fall for this like I did. This is America we should have ways to find these people and prosecute them!! They said they were cash advance loan and Briggs law firm. The name he gave me was Jason brown. If u call the number he has ball to even answer.
