A person with an Indian Accent called telling me that an illegal claim had been filed against me and that if they didn't hear from me immediately, the only thing they could do is wish me luck.  He claims his name is Officer James Winston.  He did identify what company he was calling from.

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:

Thanks, I just called the number and asked what crimes they were investigating...when I refused to give my name, I was told "Suck my c-ck, you mother fu-ker..."

I was called by these individuals as well.  They've even gone as far as to call my employer.  They will stop at nothing.

These people called me on my job also. I've never gotten anything from them. I also told them to contact my lawyer.
