I have gotten more than 60 phone calls from this number today trying to get me to pay a $450 loan that I supposedly took out in 2010. They do not have a date (other than the year), or a loan number. I never took out a loan. They have threatened to have me fired from my job (I'm self employed), have me put in jail for financial fraud. They have the names and phone numbers of 2 of my friends who they have also called and threatened. They also have my old address, my full ss#, and my bank account number.
This guy, Steve Walker, has called me 10 times in the past 30 minutes and is very rude. Said that I committed financial fraud. Now he is blocking the number so that I can't block the calls. I have started answering and leaving the phone on, when he hangs up I call him back, maybe it'll prevent him from trying to scam others in the meantime
They contacted our office: "Ma'am I want to speak to XXX XXX you give the phone to XXX XXX now." "My name is Gary Smith this is an urgent time sensitive manner." Sir where are you calling from? "What?" 4 second pause. "I need to speak to XXX XXX. Give to her this phone call." Sir what country are you calling from? "What?" pause again "This is DFM (inaudible), detection for financial fraud for a legal case against XXX XXX" Sir you will need to speak slower so that I may understand the nature of your call. "You will give this phone to her, I need to talk to her now ma'am."
I advised him that I unfortunately will have to hang up the phone, and that he will need to review his contact information for said individual. They don't like that whether they do or do not work or do or do not have any affiliation to this number that we are still NOT divulging ANY information on individual they are seeking out to cause potential credit harm to.
Persistent scammer(as they usually are)called back four times.Thank you for highlighting the office's Thursday, we don't already have enough to take care of.

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 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.
