I got a phone call from an unknown number, it was flagged as a spam risk so I ignored it, however they called back so I answered, they said they was a detective who is investigating allegations on me, I have done nothing wrong, and I looked up their phone number using public data-base and it came back to a TextNow VOIP number, what should I do?

No
That's good. Never share personal information unless you're sure of the caller's identity. If you're suspicious, contact your local police department to report the call.
