I actually answer the phones for one of the law firms that these SCAM runners are saying they are with. For the past 2-3 weeks [I guess they just s****ed using our name] I have been spending at least an hour every day talking to the nice folks who have been targeted by these idiots. When we first got wind of this my boss [name on the door] personally called them to put them on notice that he's collecting information and reporting them to the FBI and to immediately stop using his name in their scam. They claimed to not know what he was talking about and ***g up on him.I've had reports that they are threatening people with criminal law suits or jail time for non-payment on an online payday loan. They claim to be 'Senior Attorneys' and give names like Steve George, Mary Thomas, Mark Thompson, Joe Matthew, Mike Watson, and Harry Smith. They give such generic American names yet they carry heavy Indian or Middle Eastern accents and the background noise makes it obvious that they are in a call center, really what Senior Attorney works in a call center. They claim to work for [insert law firm name] which results in people who are receiving these calls looking up the law firm's name on the internet finding the real phone number and calling to see if [insert generic American name] actually works there.Somehow they have obtained either full or partial Social Security numbers, home addresses, work phone numbers, contact information for references & family members, and even bank account routing numbers. The amount of personal information they have is down right scary. They are harassing folks trying to intimidate them into giving them that one piece of information they couldn't get, the bank account number. But when it comes to providing the information that any legit debt collector has to give when trying to collect on a debt they either try to dodge giving any information or just straight up **** up on people who ask too many questions or they think have figured them out.To get them to stop calling you, you have to make it very clear to them that you know this is a scam and that you will not be giving them any money or information. If they say they're going to proceed with the criminal law suit, laugh at them and tell them to bring it. You can ignore them, ***** with them, play along to get as much information out of them as you can, but do not give them any money or additional information they do not already have. If they have your bank account routing number I would get a new bank account asap.  This is a scam for sure and should be reported to the Internet Crime Complaint Center http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state Attorney General. Also if you've been targeted by these people somewhere along the way either you or a merchant you did business with was lazy in the handling of sensitive information and it has ended up in the hands of unscrupulous criminals. Take a look back to see where this lapse in security may have come from and you will have an idea how these jokers got their hands on all this sensitive personal info. You are your first line of defense a***nst iden***y theft.

They've been calling me all morning long.  I talked to some foreigner for a minute.  He tried to verify my social and birthdate but wouldn't tell me his name or why he was calling.  Sketchy!  This is funny.

I answer they **** up.
