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:
This guy called approximately 10 times throughout the day he left one voicemail demanding that I or my attorney call back immediately. So I had someone call him back and ask for information he told my friend that he is a attorney and gave some bogus company called American Cash stated that I had a lawsuit filed against in the US court and that I would be arrested. My friend told him that this call was being recorded and that it is against US Federal law to make threats against US citizens regarding civil matters, he told my friend that he is a paralegal and can do what he wants. After he hung up the phone my friend decided to call him back as he did me, so for the next hour he continued to call asking for a physical address the guy finally took the phone off the hook. My friend said he will continue to call this guy just because.
This person called me and my work when I finally returned the call n these people screamed at me n told me I would go to jail tommorow this brought me to tears. they stated I had a law suit threw American express and all this other stuff finally called my mom n she explained to me wat was going on do not fall for this!!
