Omg i am sooo relieved i have gotten the same calls too same Indian guy named Daniel Wilson, very rude, hangs up when you ask questions. He told me i applied for a loan that i did not! and said the loan company had pressed charges for my arrest with the state attorney of my state to seek jail time. I feel soo much better knowing i was not the only one

The guy says his name is Daniel Wilson from the New York state attorneys office.

Called being very threatening

Here in Va, just received a nasty voice mail message from a "Michael Brown" (foreign accent)... stating the "State Attorney's Office was looking for" an individual who has never had this telephone number.  I called back and was told "Michael" was not available and I told his "assistant' (foreign accent) to never call my number again, that I'll report this scam outfit to the FCC.

I got the same message telling me I have a case for something I never received. Ask him to mail hard copies and he ended hanging up on me.

I received a phone call from (607) 795-7579
Elmira, NY a Indian guy named Daniel Wilson claiming to be a state attorney having information to arrest me. I argued with this man and he cussed me out. He then called me back to say I will receive something at my work. The guy called my work. Creeper but at least I'm not the only one.

Just received a call from a Troy Daniel Wilson.  I kept pressing him to tell me the information he had, and asked for a copy.  Much similar to earlier posts.  I wish there was away to track these folks and have a complaint filed against them

Hundreds of thousands of cash-strapped Americans have been targeted by abusive debt collectors operating out of overseas call centers suspected of links to organized crime in India, law enforcement officials told ABC News.

The calls are part of a massive scam, one that appears to target struggling Americans -- especially those who have gone online to apply for payday loans. Armed with personal information from those pilfered applications, the threatening callers, who claim to be debt collectors poised to initiate legal action, have managed to pry loose millions of dollars from their victims -- even when the victims never owed money in the first place.

"This is what we call a phantom debt collection scam," said Jon Leibowitz, the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission. "It's a very pernicious and innovative new fraud."

Working through call centers in India, the commission estimates that the criminals have dialed at least 2.5 million calls, persuading already cash-strapped victims to send them more than $5 million. Some have reported receiving dozens of calls per hour. They are victims like Cindy Gervais, of New Orleans, who went online for a quick loan when her husband's car was hit by a driver who didn't have insurance.

Even though she paid the loan off, the so-called "phantom" debt collectors with Indian accents began calling to say she still owed money.

"He more or less told me that if I didn't pay, they were going to have someone on my doorstep to arrest me," she told ABC News. "And that they were going to contact my place of business, and tell them what kind of person I am."

At first, she said she resisted. Then the calls became more frequent, and started to ring on her cell phone, and at the grocery distribution company where she had worked for 27 years.

"I was more or less in panic mode because he told me there would be someone before noon at my place of business to arrest me and take me to jail," she said tearfully. "So I agreed to pay him."

After receiving scores of complaints, investigators with the FTC said they began tracking the calls, and following the payments. They alleged the payments led them to a California company run by an Indian-American named Kirit Patel, and that such scams would not be possible without American front men.

"I would say that all roads of this scam, or many of the roads of this scam, lead back to Mr. Patel," said the FTC's Leibowitz.

ABC News tracked Patel for weeks, from the suburbs of San Francisco to Austin, Texas.

Patel refused to talk. But his lawyer, Mark Ellis, said he believes it is far too early to pass judgment on his client. Ellis, a Sacramento-based attorney, told ABC News that Patel was hired for a nominal fee to set up an American shell company, and had no idea what the call centers in India were doing.

"I can tell you, he was as snookered by the people in India as anybody," Ellis said. "He's a 69-year-old man who is nearing his retirement who thought all he had to do was set up some corporations and everything was on the up and up. He's completely dismayed that he has become the lightning rod of this entire problem."

A close friend of Patel's also defended him in a brief interview at his home, saying Patel was not trying to defraud anyone -- he was just an unwitting, bit player in a larger scheme.
