Received a call from this number. A Clarence Thomas (supposedly) said this was the third and final attempt to contact me. They wanted to verify my address and my business address so they could serve me. Wished me good luck in court. If this was truly the 3rd attempt, I wonder why I have received about 5 other calls from this same number. If they have already done business with me why don't they have my address? Guessing this is a scam!

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:
