Area code 724 is dealing with Social Security arrest threats and fake debt collectors. These callers try to panic you into paying money to resolve a fake criminal case.
Uses aggressive profanity and threats of immediate police dispatch for SSN crimes.

I called the number and someone with a thick accent answered 'Social Security Administration'... he said 'you're a criminal, I'm sending the cops to you right now'.
