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:
Today I received a call from same people my called ID shows 469-526-7832, they left voice message, saying they are from Federal Crime Investigation Department and they have received a federal complain against my name and my identity, and I am under federal investigation, and case is pending against me and I can be arrested. and to avoid arrest and legal action and must call them immediately. This definitely sounds like criminal extortion scam operating from India. I have called FTC and filed a complain. If you get a call from these crooks, do not call them but report them to FTC or Low Enforcement Agencies
I got a call from this # the person claiming to be an IRS officer by the name of Officer Adam Scott . He told me my husband had not paid a personal tax and the IRS was looking for him. I told him my husband was not at home. So then they called after 4 days and harrased me saying we had fraudulent case against the IRS. We had a personal tax form we had not paid, and the police was coming in the next 45 minutes to arrest us. I called my husband on the cell phone took the person's phone . My husband checked the number on google and found it was a fraudulent number , called me and I threatened to call the police and they hung up on me.
If you receive a phone call, fax or letter in the mail from an individual claiming to be from the IRS but you suspect they are not an IRS employee, contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 to determine if the IRS has a legitimate need to contact you. Report any bogus correspondence.
