Picture this: a stranger emails you claiming you owe money and threatens arrest. The pattern emerging from dozens of reports points to a classic debt collector scam that masquerades as an attorney, using legal‑sounding language to intimidate victims. These messages often cite wage garnishment, driver’s‑license blocks, and a sudden credit‑score drop, none of which are legally enforceable via email. To stay safe, never reply to unsolicited legal threats, verify any alleged creditor through official channels, and block the number on your phone and email filters. Report the abuse to the FTC and your local consumer‑protection office for further action.

I've received similar emails and texts before, and since the scammers are operating outside the US, there's little that can be done to stop them. My approach has been to respond, claiming to work in law enforcement and inviting them to issue a subpoena, which usually puts a stop to their harassment. You can try blocking them or even play along, feeding them false information - it's all about disrupting their operations.
