I have received calls from within a two week period from callers with strong Middle-eastern accents, these calls have initiated from Minnesota and now Florida. I didn't bother returning today's call, as when I returned the call last week, the person became very nasty when I stated I new my rights as they pertained to fair credit laws and requested verification of the debt and hung up when I asked for the company name and address. I reported that call to the attorney general.
I have had loans in the past, which were paid off in full. I understand that what has been happening is these scammers have some how managed to gain access the same network of data that legitimate lenders access to make loans to interested consumers, which is how they gain access to personal information.

One thing overlooked..
AUTHOR: Ronny g - (USA)

...the OP apparently is aware this is a total scam. However..the scammers had access to personal information.
I would highly doubt they got this personal information from ANY legitimate loan the OP had in the past.
How they get this information, is by the victim surfing the web for advance/payday loans. These are almost always a scam to get personal information to use when calling the potential victim.
Now, when the victim is applying for these loans online to scam sites..what kind of information is generally asked when applying for a loan? Answer: Exactly the kind of information that would scare the victim into thinking this was a legitimate collection agency.
Where you work, where you live, your references names, addresses and phone numbers..your SS number and more..well I think you get the point.

Same old a*holes, Just a new Name

These aholes are calling from Pakistan using fake American sounding names, their scam is To scare you into paying a Loan that doesn't exist.
Usually by saying they're Officer(Fake American Name) Obvious clue, the heavy accent, hard to understand, or cannot understand this (American Name) Officer?
Their Theft is to scare you by threats like "Have the police at your door" or "Warrant has been signed" or "You're in big trouble", "You've committed BANK FRAUD" or similar lies.
They used to say they're from "The Department of LAW and Investigation" or similar scary FAKE NAMES (recently they used United Nations Law Division, and ACS Law division, and even more recently 1st IRS Legal Dept)
You're NOT in trouble, they're just good Liars, Pay them NOTHING, they're only Slimy thieves.
Recently they've been changing names at the speed of light, and they use a telephone relay so they look like they're calling in America, they're NOT.
This is another name, but the same scammers.
OR IF YOU WANT PROOF THEY'RE THIEVES Tell them to send you verification there's any "Debt" at all, if they start screaming at you, that's proof positive that they're just thieves.
When/if they call again tell them they're just thieves and hang up, they can't arrest you, It's just a scam.
