Total scam. Did you receive an e-mail? Did someone with an Indian accent call you? This sounds like the work of a few hard-core Indian scammer/extortionists. This is an Indian payday loan scam. It is not random, they have all your financial information and a lot of personal information. They pick on women, single mothers, the elderly and members of the immigrant community. Do not return their calls. Block them. This is a total fraud. No one can be arrested for ordinary civil debt in the US. If they call you again, tell them you know this is a scam.
