Some man with a heavy Indian accent and claims to be with the Legal Dept at CPS keeps calling the work number and asking for a certain person who works here.  The person did return his call and asked what company he works for and the man hung up.  Now he keeps calling back asking for the same person and I will not transfer him because I know it is a scam call so he keeps making threats!  When he calls it shows up as "Unknown", but he gave me his number one time and it is 202-241-4168.  It is a scam!

Received the same call from the same guy three different times at work.  This is a scam

Received a phone call from man with heavy Indian accent- made threatening remarks- know that this is a scam

Please have this rude person quit calling my place of employment.His name is Dennis Scott. I will not tolerate the harrassment from this person and neither will my employer.

800Notes is not a clearinghouse to stop unwanted calls. You will have to do this yourself.

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 a year ago:
