Why these “debt collector” calls are a trap

Due to reports of a scam, I have been avoiding ansering the repeated calls from this number, it seemes like a scam

These peoples just called me, and they where trying to scams me, but i realised it was a scam, and i was like dont bother or somthing

They claim to be from the Alabama police department, some guy named Roger Gibson, sayin I would be arrested if I didnt pay $786, hopefully they'll get whats comming to them soon

These indivduals contacted me, threatening arrest if I didnt pay off a loan immediatly, so I went to the authorties, but they said I had no warrants, then I called them back with false info, and they gave me three diffrent names, it was ridiculious

I have been receiving multiple calls daily from individuals claiming I owe money to Cash Advance USA, with one caller having a heavy Indian accent and claiming to be 'Micheal Brown', and another claiming to be 'David Marshal', an Alabama officer, which I believe to be a scam.

A series of aggressive calls were made to me, with the individual on the other end claiming that charges were being filed against me due to a payday loan, which I knew to be false, and their subsequent attempts to pose as a representative of the sheriff's department were outright deceitful.

Similarily, i recieved the same call stating that they ar going to arrest me, and that in order to stop legal action that I needed my lawyer to contact them, and that the matter was in regards to some Cash Advance deposited money in my account and when I called my bank there was no deposits of this mater.

These relentless calls to my home and workplace are unsettling, with the caller claiming they will arrest me, which is understandably distressing.

It appearently is a debt collector, which is quite frustrating.

A suspicious call was received from a foreign individual claiming there was a federal complaint and threatening action, but the call was terminated after the claims were disputed.

Upon receiving a message about allegedly urgent federal charges, I decided to call back with my lawyer; the person on the other end had a thick accent and insisted I was liable for a loan I never took, despite my protests

In one day, I received 14 calls from this number, including a voicemail from a man with a strong accent claiming to be Officer Frank Harris, stating there was a dispute against me and threatening arrest if I didn't call back - a clear scam that also involved calls to my workplace.

Frank Harris claimed it was an emergency when he called from this number, asking me to call back.
