I, too, am the target of these jerks from Central Investigations! They think I am Tommy Roberson and don't believe me when I try to explain they have the wrong number. (I'm a middle-age lady.) I don't owe anyone money!
I've never been given an amount, who I supposedly got the money from, nor, any of their details, such as an address to remit the funds to. They are on the third different name from where they are calling. It changes from time to time. All they do is threaten me with comments about my character and what might happen to me if I don't pay. "I feel sorry for you, Tommy Roberson." is the most used phrase the guy with the foreign accent uses.
I wanted to log in a report, but, I don't have any of the jerk's information to give. I did place a greeting on my phone to hopefully steer them off. I have this message:
"Thank you for calling. Please leave me a message. If you are the bogus collection company who has been calling, please speak very clearly so law enforcement can catch you."
I don't know what else to do. Sometimes, I get multiple messages in one day. They just won't quit!

These a**holes are calling from Pakistan using fake American sounding names, their scam is To scare you into paying a Loan that doesn't exist.
Usually by saying they're Officer(Fake American Name) Obvious clue, the heavy accent, hard to understand, or cannot understand this (American Name) Officer?
Their Theft is to scare you by threats like "Have the police at your door" or "Warrant has been signed" or "You're in big trouble", "You've committed BANK FRAUD" or similar lies.
They usually say they're from "The Department of LAW and Investigation" or similar scary FAKE NAMES (recently they used United Nations Law Division, and ACS Law division, and even more recently 1st IRS Legal Dept)
You're NOT in trouble, they're just Liars, Pay them NOTHING, they're only filthy thieves.
Recently they've been changing names at the speed of light, and they use a telephone relay so they look like they're calling in America, they're NOT.
This is another name, but the same scammers.
OR IF YOU WANT PROOF THEY'RE THIEVES Tell them to send you verification there's any "Debt" at all, when they start screaming at you, that's proof positive that they're just thieves.
When/if they call again tell them they're just thieves and hang up, they can't arrest you, It's just a scam.
