I received the same type of call. The caller (Wince something or other) stated he had an affadavit that there were charges against me for not repaying a loan. He stated I could settle out of court for $850 or go to court and pay $4500 and he would get me fired from my job. I wanted to see how far this guy would go so I told him I would settle out of court but I wanted to talk to his supervisor. His supervisor, Leo Rogers (this guy's accent is definately indian, there is NO WAY he is English/American) stated I had to call him everyday to update my "legal file" and was to ask for the password he gave me. He stated if the person who was supposed to be him did not give the correct password I was to hang up. I called a friend to check in on this. My friend called this guy who immediately started saying this was none of his business, etc. "Leo" then called me saying I must want to go to jail and did he need to remind me he could and will get me fired from my job?
It's a scam. They cannot provide any legal documentation stating who they work for or a detailed list of what you owe and why. They also will not provide a copy of the "affidavit" they hold over your head.
