You can try calling your ex-friend and figure out if it’s even true or not. It could just be some random scammer. Or ask someone to pretend as the ex-friend since they want you to contact him to get some info. In the meantime there’s a free and open source spam blocking app called Spam Blocker(Call & SMS). You can get it on git hub or F-droid. Haven’t used it personally yet but it has great reviews so far and apparently works against even spoofed numbers. Also turn on block unknown numbers in your default dailer.

Find out who the lending partner is and file a harassment complaint with the RBI ombudsman. My brother had a similar situation years ago. Someone had apparently taken a credit card from ICICI bank in his name and had defaulted on payments. For around 6 months he’d get weekly calls for repayment. We tried to explain we had no account with them and it must be an error(which it later turned out to be). We filed an FIR in the end and filed a complaint with RBI. Never heard from them again.
