    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.

    thank you so much for the warning because they are doing the same thing to me now threatning that i will be arrested if i don't talk to them or pay them back and i thought something was a little fishy because they're telling me that i'm being sued and i have a case file on me, which i've nevered been notified about so i thought something was wrong and you just proved my point..... thank very much

    They are probably running this scam from overseas, which makes suing them impractical.

    They are, however, vulnerable at two points:
    1)  Their phone provider.  They may be using VoIP, but most likely use the same carrier even though they may change phone numbers frequently.
    2)  Their method of getting the money transferred.

    If the scam got that far, how did they say payment should be sent?
    Western Union?
    MoneyGram?
    Other?
