I received call from this number today at work. My boss took the message and told me he sounded Indian. She had trouble understanding him. I called the number back and phoned was answer investigation who is this. I asked who I called and he said again investigation. I told gentleman I knew he was a scammer as I owned no money to pay day loans ( have been called before with people using same tatics) and I was reporting him to attorney general and not to call me again. He said thank you and hung up.
Hopefully this puts a stop to his calls.

There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested.

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.
