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 from unscrupulous websites like the one you may have filled out an application with, 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.

The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:

These people keep calling me from all different numbers this is the latest one, keeping telling me this is a collections and wants my banking information and i refuse and they yell at me and tell me that the police are going to arrest me. I advised them to send me documention paper work and to give me name of company and address and I will have my lawyer call them and they say no and that there is no supervisor available to talk to. So i dont give info but they call about 30 times a day.

I went on the internet searching for a loan company to assist me with finishing my payments for college.  Unfortunately after reading all of the above comments I now know that the company I had given $200 to (which is a lot for someone young in college) is a complete scam.  An Indian man called me with a very strong accent from the phone number 1-682-503-3598.  This man told me that I needed to be put on hold to speak to his supervisor.  Then I get on the phone with the "supervisor" (was named Stanley Marshall) who also had an extremely heavy Indian accent, and told me I would be receiving a $2000 loan (which is what I requested) in my bank account by tomorrow.  According to this "supervisor", he stated that all I needed to do was put $200 onto a MoneyPak card and give him the number on the back of the card as a deposit.  I did so and got my money completely STOLEN from me.  The two Indian men argued with me for days afterwards after I inceccently called them demanding my $200 back.  They told me that if I did not stop calling them asking for my money back that they would call the police and I would be arrested. They said they "had all the information they needed in order to prosecute me."  The "supervisor" then told me okay he would put it back into my bank account and never did.  So now I am trading calls back and fourth with the GreenDot MoneyPak corporation trying to get my money back.  Luckily I have my original receipt to send to the corporation, but I will stop at nothing to get my hard-earned money back.  This is a complete SCAM currently being operated out of Euless, Texas.  The phone number these scammers are calling from is a landline number as well.  If anyone has any additional information to add about their own personal story with this fraud company please write your comments here.  Thank you for hearing my story.

Same as others previously said. A man with a strong India accent called, almost impossible to understand. Spoke very fast and unclear. Asked to him to repeat what he was saying like 50 times in 2-3 minutes. He kept trying to get my social security number, claiming there was an arrest warant for me and I was going to be arrested tomorrow. SCAM! I have never had any problems with the law. Turned the phone number over to my local police department.

Got a call and ansewered it. Indian man that I couldn't understand said he was calling about a collection on a loan. When I said I couldn't understand him he told me to hold on for his senior supervisor. I hung upand they called back 5 times in less than 20 minutes without leaving a message. When I called their number it went straight to voicemail.

I have received two calls from this number. Both times they were from males with (I believe) india accents.
The first time I told them that I had just completed a bankruptcy hearing and if this were true it would have showed up on my credit report, plus the fact that I have never taken out any kind of a loan, especially one over the internet so I needed information from him so I could contact the police for identity theft. He wanted my laywers phone number so he could confirm that I had filed bankruptcy. I called my lawyer the next day and no one had called.
One week later I got the second call and told the male that they had already called me and they told me they were calling my lawyer. Well now I am told that I have another suit filed against me. I have a hearing problem and I couldn't understand this guy and asked him to slow down while he was talking to me. He gave the phone to another male with an accent and he started asking me questions. I stopped him and asked him his name. When I couldn't understand him I told him about my hearing problem and he started yelling (I guess his name) over and over again at me on the phone. I hund up. It is good to know that this is a scam because I really thought someone had taken my personal information and got a loan with it. I am still checking into these people because somewhere in there it sounded like they said my social security number like with PJ's above post.

I received a call from them over the last 2 weeks.  Multiple calls a day threatening to arrest me and notify my employer I was being arrested.  Some indian guy who was very persistent trying to get information to "check" if it was really me he was talking to.  SCAM!

I received call 8/29 and they said I was about to be sued and arrested for Cyber, Internet Fraud  as well as  applied for and received several loans that have gone unpaid.  They said if I did not work with them, within 48 hours I would be arrested and put in jail.  I immediately went to my local police department, reported this and they will further it onto the FBI.
