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.

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

I received a call from this number this morning.  The man was very hard to understand and threatened to arrest me if I did not pay a certain amount by 4:00 today.  This was very upsetting and I want it to stop.

THIS IS AN EXTORTION SCAM. Scammers pretend to be law enforcement (police, sheriff, Feds, AG's Office, fake cop agencies with made-up names) and may be using bought/hacked/phished loan application data to extort money or personal info for fictitious crimes.

I received a call from this same number this morning.  He left me a message.  He said his name is Officer Johnson from Criminal Investigation and said he had some complaints against me.  He even read my SSN.  His accent made it really hard to understand, I had to replay the message 4 times to get the correct information.

I dont know what this is about but I would like it to stop
