As a general rule if the police are coming to arrest you nobody will call you ahead of time. If somebody is calling you that's actually from the government it's something they want to clear up without getting the legal system involved. Why people fall for that is a mystery to me.

Yeah the government loves to send snail mail to get in touch with people. I've received a grand total of one phone call from a government agency and that was to confirm my address to they could send me a piece of mail. It was for something only they could have even known about, so it wasn't out of no where.
