This is a known scam and typically comes from a man with a heavy Indian accent and if you listen closely you can hear a call center in the background. They always call and identify themselves as being with a law enforcement agency of some type that has a name that resembles a legitimate one, but it is not legitimate. I recieved a series of these calls from a number that had a NC area code, so I reported it to the Attorney General there. They advised me that this is a known scam, but is difficult to prosecute or do much about because even though the number appears to be one generated in the US, it is actually coming from overseas. Best thing you can do is block any number from a call like this and DON'T send them money. It is a scam and any legitimate debt collector DOES NOT threaten arrest, etc. Plus, they are required to give you info about a debt in writing.
Said was the Federal Investigation Dept. Re a supposed unrepaid loan to United States Cash Advance. Case #8906/2012 filed in the state of North Carolina. Said the amount supposedly borrowed was $250.00 now asking for $588.00 which includes late fees and late charges. Spoke with a James Murphy, a David Harvey and Mike Stevenson (could be Stephenson. Would not or could not give me an exact date when supposed loan was taken out only said I must get an attorney and until I did they would not devulge any more information about this case as I must act through an attorney. Called the Federal Trade Commission and reported this call to them. They suggested I check the phone # on line and possibly learn an address where I could send them written notice to not call me again in writing.
