    Typical shakedown scam..
    1)  Goal is clearly to get money.
    2)  Calling relatives to create panic, look like "skip-tracing", appear to be "suing", "prosecuting" or "investigating" (FDCPA violation, deceptive collection)
    3)  Hiding information needed to track them down, like an address, to evade FDCPA validation
    4)  Illegal disclosure of an alleged "debt" (implied) to a third party, in violation of FDCPA
    5)  Victim is threatened and harassed (FDCPA violation), and expected to think it's "some old payday loan you forgot".
    6)  Typically, no information is disclosed to the target about what this "debt" is.  Failure to send FDCPA "g" letter.

    Called saying warrant for my arrest was being issued for old payday loan that they can’t prove I had. Told me they would fax my current employer that I was going to be arrested-I told them go ahead do it! Total scam!
