It is.  Total fraud perpetrated by Indian scammers.

607-795-7579 said his name was Steve Paul from Steven law office

Yes I received 30 calls a day for the past 3 days from different numbers then today after the 19th calls  I check my messages all the other numbers tell me I applied for a loan and they need me to call them back but this one he said his name was Steve Paul something about my ss# and if I don't call him back ASAP I will be arrested. That's when I looked up the number.

I received a voicemail from them today. Voicemail in heavy accent stated his name was Steven Thomas from the States Attorney Office. But When I called the number back the voicemail that picked up IMMEDIATELY stated his name was Daniel Wilson. What got me was the way at the end of the voicemail I received he said that if I ignored his call he was sorry for what would happen and God Bless. No one from any Legal office is going to say that period. I guess they forget that we AMERICANS are smarter than they are.

i got ten calls from 607-795-7579 thursday 4/17-2014,i called back and this guy with a accent told me that i had a law suit against me.i asked him one question after the other,he could not give me a straight answer and got angry.he did not talk for a few minutes,i could hear other people talking in the background.told me that the office was closed and he did not have the information and hung up on me..friday i called the mew york state attorney's office,and asked a woman there if they had a daniel wilson working for them,she told me no.i explained to her what was going on.she told me that was a fraud.the state attorney generals office does not call people,she told me. i hope they catch this guy and put him in federal prison for a very long time.

Just got the call and email from Michael Brown. Seems like a fraud.

This rude man called my job, left his number, then when I called he got loud made threats and more. But when I mentioned going to courthouse and my bank, he hung up. I despise ignorant, disrespectful people like him. I have a family to worry about. Especially since Obama Care has made my life difficult. I can't find a fulltime job in Mississippi for anything.  But I'm gone pray that my God blesses everyone and does away eith people like Daniel Wilson and Micheal Brown.

Received a call from an indian accented man saying he was calling from Brown's attorney general office in NY.  Threatened me and said I was being sued. When I pressed him for further info, wouldn't tell me anything. Glad I found this site and realized it's a scam.  I reported it to the FCC and Federal Trade Commission.  I also received 2 calls at my place of employment and am very annoyed. Next time he calls me, I'm going to tell him I'm calling the FBI!

I got  call from Michael Brown...haha... saying he was going to send officers to my job if I didn't send him money I supposedly owed. Hung up on him. Now he calls and leaves messages because I don't answer his calls. Also uses a 888 number.Think I will call and bother him allday.

he called ststing that fraud charges have been brought against Victoria"s social security number! Tan
ank God for this and othw
er pages that proved him a scam artist and not a very good one at that!

4 calls in 4 min today. several yesterday.  this caller is Justin Brown. just wanted to add to the list of harassed people.

This guy barely speaks english could hardly understand him saidbhis name was mark white and from states attorney office and has a complaint for my name and ss# I called my attorney and he said give them my attorney name and number and tell the guy not to call my personal or work number ever again so I called him and he wouldnt take my attorney s info he just kept saying your going to be arrested then you will have all the info....wtf really lol

Same exact story that happened to me yesterday march 26th. he has all
My info and good thing my brother goes to law school and he knew my rights and attorney Daniel Wilson sH*+ head got offended and he hung up. I almost fell for that . That was close .. Really close for $2k he was asking

Daniel Wilson Attorney General Office calls from now  202-241-8309 is a FAKE.
He called my work and my cell # claiming I owed for a outstanding loan and they were going to issue a warrant for my arrest

Same harassment told me he had address was sending sheriff

He called me and told me that he is going to have me arrested if I wont send him any money and that a police will come and get me before the day is over. He told me to go to my bank and after that go to Kroger so he can tell me what kind of voucher to get. He wont tell me where and he just said he is from state attorney's office and that I will go to jail for a year and they will suspend my drivers license and take my passport away.He said his name is Daniel wilson. They need to send this guy to jail or do something.

Your best bet is a call blocker.

I got a call from 607-795-7579 a few times today, didn't answer of course. He left a voicemail saying he was Mark Thomas, state attorney. He said I had a payday loan taking out and never paid. I asked him for information and he said he would get my case file, he then started reading a bunch of things I had never heard or even understood for that matter. Ridiculous. I blocked the number and I hope this solves this problem.

He has called me 30 times in the past 2 days. What do I to stop the calls. Please anyone advise me how to stop these calls

got call told him i never tooked out loan was rude and hung up on me even tried calling my work

Man with Indonesian accent stating I was approved for a loan that I did not apply for.  SCAM!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt your caller is a state attorney general or even with the office. As a rule the Attorney general of the state doesn't do debt litigation, they have bigger fish to fry - like your caller for a start!  Its not the first, nor the last time a extortion scammer has used this MO trying to extort money from people. Its not unusual for them to actually use real peoples names, address's and phone numbers. There's more then one incident reported here with real Attorneys name and business's being used and abused this way!  

What you need to do is file complaints with your state Attorney general and contact this one that they gave you also. And file complaints with the FBI also. Consider buying a call blocking device or phone..

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

? filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims? relatives, friends, and employers.

I received a threatening call from Daniel Wilson and Michael Brown which in my opinion are 1 and the same.  He said that he was going to arrest me and that I committed Fraud.  I told him to tell me what exactly the charges were and he kept saying that he was going to contact the government yada yada.  The calls were becoming so frequent that I had to finally change my number.  I couldn't keep up.  This is the only info that jerk could provide me, he's from the State Attorney's office in New York.  His address is 6060 Central St Room 161, NYC, NY 10007.  His Bar number is 55236.  This jerk needs to be arrested he is sickening, the worst thing is that he has the last 4 of my ssn because I was a dumb A$$ and decided to get a payday loan.  Never again!  Somehow they obtained my information and now I have to contact all 3 bureaus.  

This guy has an indian accent and says his name is Daniel Wilson, a state attorney, he says I took out a loan (COMPLETELY FALSE) and says that I used fraud as a means of getting the loan. I asked for more information and he says that he is going to send an officer to pick me up. this is harassment.

I told him offand to come get Me so I can due the pants off him. I called and harrased him after he called with accusayions and counts of fraud to employer, etc.

This idiot name was Daniel Wildon and Michael Brown.

I got a call today from the same people saying they are going to arrest me tomorrow at my job. When I said I would have my attorney call he got defensive and said very well god bless you I will send an officer over tomorrow. I am super frustrated

I just received an annoying phone call from this person claiming I had a lawsuit against me. Threatened to have me arrested.Watch out!

I just got a call right now saying that he needs my attorney number , or ima be arrested , he keeps calling me and calling me and won't stop , he also has the last 4 of my social which is f****n creepy never did I allow him to have them , and until now he won't stop calling , called back had an officer speak to them and all they do is hang up !!!

Call them back alright!!  I called over and over and over and over yesterday,  and harassed the crap out of HIM!!   Called him a liar,  thief,  a**hole,  "fake attorney",  mocked his accent,  all kinds of things.  It was so much fun!!!!

Call them back over and over and harass them!  I did it all afternoon yesterday, and it was tremendous fun!  If I got the voice mail,  I left a message - mocking his accent,  saying that he should be arrested at his job,  that he was a liar,  he was a scam artist,  no it was not the state attorney's office and he was not an attorney,  etc.   It got to where he would wearily answer the phone!  Or he would answer with another name,  or another business name.  I did not let up - I was relentless. He deserved it!!
