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.
Same scripted message as previously reported from other numbers - either my attorney or I need to call them back immediately or "good luck as the situation unfolds around you." Gave no information about name of company or anything else about why they are calling. Gave name as Matthew Malone. Although this number is located in Kansas, this guy sounds Indian/Pakistani or there abouts.

they tried this same scam on me back last august. calls stopped for half a year. now called me twice and my work once today. the old numbers were from attleboro MA 508-463-0708 and 508-463-0716. the new calls from 785-330-5324
This number called me stating I was getting sue for a payday loan in 2012 for the amount of 690.00 and if I don't resolve this within 48hours I would get served and also a warrent for fraud. I asked for documentation and was told I already received a email from the company that was trying to sue me. I contact the number listed and was told I owe 970.00 and I asked for documentation and he hang uo on me. I did research about the company he claim he was with and had a different number. I called that number and was told there was alot of people out there trying to be this company and it was a fraud. So I called back to the that claim I was getting sue and ask them if I can record this conversation and was told I was taking them as a fool and hang up. Later received a called stating the call was to update me that my case is being file and I will be served at my house on tuesday at 11am. Any ideas if this is a fraud?
