This is a scam, they say they are department of justice and they have a warrant for u. Do not give them any information. They tried to get 1600.00 from me.

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:

I got a call from the same number too.. They said they are from department of justice.. They told me I have a warrant of arrest but I could still remove the warrant if I pay $675 using money pack that I could buy at Walmart.... I called the number that they gave me and it's supposed to be the department of justice but I was shocked because I didn't have hard time calling the DOJ., the receptionist answered right away...so I know it's a scam...

This is a scam.  They called my 67 year old mom who threatened to garnish her whole social security check for $633.33 or they would have the police to pick her up.  My mom never took out loan, doesn't have a checking or savings account and couldn't have possibly taken out a payday loan.  They didn't try to make payment arrangements - They wanted to know how much money she had available to give them.  If she didn't have anything, they were demanding the $633.33 or threatened to arrest her.

I got the same call. Somehow they used the number of a local police department which showed on the caller ID. They said they were from the Department of Justice. Who shall I report them to?

An Indian man identified themselves as being with the State Police and that a warrant was out for my arrest but wouldn't tell me for what.  gave me a claim number and told me to call with was supposed to be with the Department of Justice.  Called the number I was given and another Indian man answered the phone Department of Justice.  I gave him the number I was issused and he put me on hold to transfer my call.  At this time I hung up.
Didn't realize anyone could get through the Department of Justice so quickly.

He need to get his [***] arrested by the State Police. If he's in India, he should get arrested by his own State's Police but too bad they have different laws, and all the other political crap. Either way that guy and his group is asking for trouble.

An individual just called my phone telling me to return a call to this number or an arrest warrant would be made.  But what was even more weird was at the end of the call he says have a good life/ or laff.  What a jerk.   I heard of people doing this before but never thought it would happen to me.

These people call all the time saying I will be arrested and they will come to my home and to my work to arrest me.They also told me that if I sent them $800.00 that I could stop this. I could only send the money by Western Unio, or a Walmart money pack. I told him I could not send him all of the money at once he said  how much could I send I said I could send $100.00 he said that was not enough. I said I could send $200.00 and he said that I had to go through a Western Union or Walmart. I said I was out of town he said he could find a Western Union or Walmart. I said I could give him a bank card # he said they could not take that. I said I can't do that. He said I had to go to Western Union or Walmart. I said No. They keep calling. Can you make them stop ?

Call came from Julius Graham, Unit 22, City of Clarksville Police Dept.  Same call as everyone seems to be getting.  gave me 201-275-0518 with a claim number to call but would not give me any other information.  I have been scammed too many times lately and am over it.

They are also using the Birmingham Alabama police department and making it look like the number is comong from the Police department. They are telling people to go to Walmart and get a Walmart prepaid card, instructing the person not to activate it and to call them back at 201-275-0518 and give them the code
off of the back of the card.
