No it doesn't sound right. No one calls you to tell you about "investigations" being "turned over to the county". If you are foolish enough to call back you'll be met with a person who tries to frighten and intimidate you with threats of arrest or being "served papers". Oh, and you can conveniently avoid all the grief they describe by... paying them some money. Preferably by some non-refundable and untraceable means like Western Union wire transfer or a "Green Dot" money card (http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/07/31/popula ... type=blogs&_r=0)
You should report this call to local police and your state attorney general. They won't be able to do much – the call probably originated from overseas – but they'll at least have a record of your complaint (and they'll confirm that the call is indeed bogus).
