Received similar call from the number, said he is officer john smith from crime investigation dept. and claimed that my name and SSN has been compromised and asked for call back. Contacted sheriff department and was told if real officer will give you full name, badge number and policy/sheriff agency, likely a scam.
Same things happen to me, called today said his name is Allen Parrish from crime invistigation dept, and told me that in one hour the police officer will come to my home and arrest me, he used very bad words, but i called the Police Department at my town and reported .
Same thing from me. The caller was posing as "Officer John Smith from the Crime Invesgiation Department", knew my name, and said that there are three legal cases against me and I will be arrested and "Do I want to resolve this matter?" He had an Indian accent (I am sure of this, because my ethnic background is Indian). I asked him which jurisdiction he was with. He said "Michigan," and then "dammit." Then he asked me why I wanted to know. I also asked him for his phone number, and he asked why I wanted to know. When I said that I wanted to verify his identity, he hung up.
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.

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.
ABC News released an investigative report on this scam in June. The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:
