This person called me today and left a vm stating that I was in trouble with the FBI and that I needed to call him back urgently. He spoke with an accent and clearly somebody was speaking to him first and then he would speak as there was a delay in between the sentences he spoke. I obviously didn't take it serious because this has been reported in the news about this sinister 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 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.
