I got a job offer in a reputable company in USA and am going through background check. Today I got a call from investigation team saying that I have a criminal record (hurting a female) that was filed in my home country. I don't remember any such case in my entire life. I asked them about the name and location who filed the complaint. They told it as a anonymous complaint.
I am now really worried if it will end up losing my job offer. What my options for what I could do next?

If you were charged you would know about it. If you weren't charged and it was just a complaint it wouldn't show up on your record (unless you were applying to become a cop or something). Something isn't adding up here.

Thank you for your reply. Actually I went through the background verification and my employer told me that the agency got a anonymous criminal charge against my name in my home country. I am shocked that's why as I cannot remember of anything like that. My employer told me that they will let me know their decision, but I am really worried if they will end up taking back the offer as a criminal report has been shown up (though that is false).

Is it possible you have a common name and they have you mixed up with someone else? +1 That it seems odd a complaint (no charges) shows up on your criminal record.
