This happened to me last week. I had to actually file a police report as they gave me SS# to me. They claimed to be a law firm, and that I would get arrested if I didn't pay them money by going to CVS and getting a card to pay them over the phone with. I argued back with them and this made them angry. I got a follow up call from "911" with someone impersonating an officer twice soon there after. This went on for an entire day. I ended up having to flag my credit with fraud alerts, and again.. had to file a police report just to cover myself in case they sell my SS#.

I just received a phone call from this number claiming I had committed "check fraud". They wouldn't tell me who the debt was through. I could hardly understand what the person on the other end of the phone was saying. They had my personal information including name, social, address, and email. They claimed that I had a debt that was never paid. I hung up on them. They called back and I told them that they were a fraud. I don't know what intrigued me to keep talking but I was curious. They told me they wanted me to pay this debt using my debit/credit card. When I refused he told me he was going to file an arrest warrant for my arrest and come TODAY to my place of employment and arrest me. He then proceeded to tell me that I would spend the "minimum of 16 months in prison". He read me my "rights" and this is what sounded fishy. He used the term "take a ride in a police car" if I got arrested. I HAVE NEVER EVER HEARD ANYONE USE THIS IN REGARDS TO READING SOMEONE THEIR RIGHTS. This is a complete scam and now that I know this, I want all of you to be aware!
They just called me and said somebody filed criminal charges against me. I then asked who filed them and they said they will contact me with the police officer or some bs...definitely some kind of scam. Lol why would some firm from iowa be calling me in ny...
Same as the rest asked how I would like to be arrested and claimed I owed 8000 to us check advance asked for dates or proof I received anything and he said I would be able to do that in jail
