This scammer called and claimed that there was a "pending civil lawsuit" against me, but they wouldn't give any details on anything related to it, other than a factitious case #. They wanted me to verify who I was, but wouldn't tell me anything about them other than their name (I'm sure also fake) and that they were from the "servicing division of CLS". I told them to go [***] a squirrel and hung up.
This is (one of many) criminal extortion scams that have been going on for years. Many are operating overseas and out of the reach of US law enforcement, while others are operating within the confines of prison cells here in the US, using contraband cell phones. Others are using VOIP. Either way, they are able to disguise their identities and locations, making them next to impossible to prosecute. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting victims' personal identifying information 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.
