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 received a call from this number, and the person left a very nasty message for me to call him back. I called back and asked him why he was threatening me over the phone. He said the call was breaking up, and hung up on me. I called back again and he said the police were on their way to my home with a warrant for my arrest. I asked for what? He said that I had taken out a loan in 2012 and had not paid it back. I have never taken out a loan for anything. He knew my social security number and my email. I had my husband call him, but he wouldn't answer. His name was James Howard, which I really doubt.
Called threating that I was going to get arrested. He said it was a civil matter. I know the law you do not ge arrested over civil matters. what an idiot!
