Debt Collector
Thanks everyone for all the good information.  I called the Attorney General's office, the Governor's office, the State Police, and anybody else I could think of.  I did find out that our Attorney General's office has taken over 1000 complaints in the past month alone!! Yes, it was a man with an India accent.  The crazy thing was he would never tell me who was "pressing charges".  I never did find out who I supposedly owed.  My husband called him back and he told him he never said I was going to jail, BULL-****!  My husband is in law enforcement, he told the guy we had an attorney and we do.  He put my husband on hold and then hung up.  When my husband called back he wouldn't answer.
It's the elderly people I worry about.
Thanks Again Everyone!

I wouldn't sweat it. How many people actually get calls warning them of impending arrest? If they are going to arrest me, do it now.
Don't let them scare you, that's why they are calling you. If you get scared enough, they might get away with intimidating you enough to give up information they should not have. And no they don't have "all" your personal info; just enough to scare the hell out of you. Remember, they are counting on you to slip up and give them more info than they already had.

It's fairly easy to gain the basic bull about someone if you have access to the right sources.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.
