I too recieved a call, but from Travis Walker(attorney)he threatened me with arrest at work monday. I could prevent this by paying 847.35 with a pre paid credit card that I could get at walmart or walgreens. i started doing some checking-I really hope its fake because I did not pay
THIS IS AN EXTORTION SCAM. Scammers pretend to be law enforcement (police, sheriff, Feds, AG's Office, fake cop agencies with made-up names) and may be using bought/hacked/phished loan application data to extort money or personal info for fictitious crimes.

Got the same call with threats of jail time... I wonder when this arrest is going to happen? Mr. Steven Johnson said 10am today, no one showed up... Lol.
I work 5-minutes away from the FBI's CyberFraud division offices, so I stopped in and submitted my information... They've been after these guys for years, so not sure what's going to come out of all this...
My opinion, harass the harasser's until they leave you alone!!!
