After receiving the same call today, which I've been getting for about a year, I requested they send paperwork because I never received a loan, and my husband advised me to look into it further.
Mediation Services debt‑collector scam—how to stop it!
Summary — +18599042421
Expert Opinion
Picture this: a caller from +18599042421 pretends to be from a “Mediation Services” firm, threatens a warrant and jail time over an alleged payday‑loan debt. The script is classic extortion – no verification, high‑pressure demands, and vague legal references. Never share personal or financial data, and request written proof before any payment. Hang up, log the call details, and file a complaint with the FTC, CFPB, or your state attorney general. Block the number, and consider reporting to the FCC’s robocall portal. Stay aware that legitimate debt collectors must follow FDCPA rules and cannot threaten arrest over the phone.

I received a call from this number this morning, and after pressing 1 to connect with someone, they claimed I had a payday loan through my Rushcard, which isn't possible since it's only used for direct deposits or personal deposits via Western Union or MoneyGram. They didn't request any verification, and I'm aware that I've never taken out a payday loan, so beware of this potential scam
The caller claimed I owed a payday loan and threatened to issue a warrant for my arrest, then hung up; subsequent calls were met with aggressive behavior and eventually led to involvement from the BBB and Attorney General.
