    They are a bunch of criminals calling from overseas, probably India, probably via VoIP because it's cheap, and trying to scam and extort money out of Americans for phony "payday loans".  

    They may even have information like old account numbers, SSN, DOB, relatives or employers, possibly from pulling credit reports or through skip-trace searches, or sometimes phony on-line payday loan sites, but the alleged debts are entirely phony, or if real, not owed to these crooks.

    They are liars.

    File a complaint with the FBI, and if they keep calling, record them and tell them the call is being recorded as evidence.  If they have any brains, they will move on when they know you won't be conned.

    Warning from the Illinois Attorney General:

    Warn your friends and co-workers about this scam, so that they don't get conned.

    As for stoping them, find out how they want you to send them money.  They probably want you to use Western Union or Moneygram.  As part of a settlement, Moneygram is required to post consumer warnings on it's website, but they do not even mention these fake "debt collection" rackets.

    Put pressure on FTC to require Western Union and Moneygram to clearly provide warnings on their websites to protect consumers from this scam.  

    Cut off their ability to get paid.

    Court Halts Alleged Fake Debt Collector Calls from India, Grants FTC Request to Stop Defendants Who Often Posed as Law Enforcement
    At the request of the Federal Trade Commission, a U.S. district court has halted an operation that the FTC alleges collected phantom payday loan “debts” that consumers did not owe.  Consumers received millions of collection calls from India, and that since January 2010 the operation took in more than $5 million from victims, according to the FTC.
