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.
The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:
i just recived a phone call today from this Indian individuale and talk to me about a warrant for my arrest in florida.they want me to give money and they drop the arrest. this persons are criminals.
I have received several calls today, to my home and work numbers from an obviously Middle Eastern person calling himself John Palmer from the LA State Attorney's Office claiming he had a lawsuit against me for a payday loan I never received. When I asked for information he said he didn't have my information in front of him and abruptly hung up, then rejected all of my calls from that point. Told me not to contact him for 24 hours and that I would receive an affadavit in the mail.
JUST GOT A MESSAGE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN 4 COMPLAINTS AGAINST ME AND TO TURN MYSELF IN OR THEY WOULD SEND A SOLICITOR TO MY HOME AND WORK. IT IS ALSO A MAN WITH A INDIAN ACCENT. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON. THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE STOPPED!!!!!!!
