So called Peter Steinberg. Claims to be the Chief investigations Officer at state to state investigations. The number has a Wisconsin area code and he claims to be in a county 1000 miles away. Left a long message with personal information on an individual at a wrong number, stating what the previous posts report. No valid and legally operating Law enforcement agency would do that. Criminal charges need to be filed against this scam artist.

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:
