It sounds to me like the Fake Debt scam or the Fake Crime scam. Both scams work the same way.
The scammer calls you and says you are about to be arrested for either a crime or a bad debt. The police are on the way. You can avoid arrest only if you pay the debt or fine right this second by green dot card, credit card, or by telling the scammer your bank account number. The scammer gets your money. There was no crime or debt. The real police were never involved.
Congratulations on not falling for it.
