These calls can sometimes be linked to payday loan applications you make online. When they call, they have all your information, so it sounds like a collection agency. However, do not give out any information. If they have a legitimate debt, they can give you the name of the creditor and information about the account. If they cannot, DO NOT give them personal information or agree to send money. Most of the time the frauds want you to wire them money or give them permission to debit your bank account to satisfy a debt that they threaten you about. Ask for the information in writing about the debt. If they won't give it to you, tell them you are calling the police and hang up.
