This started after being denied for cash advances I signed up for online. I believe thats how they get your important information. This information may have been sold to these foreign countries trying to make a profit.
You would probably be right! There's several scams going on with payday loans. Lots of threads here on those. But this may come close to what your thinking..
Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans
Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010 FBI National Press Office

— 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.
Damn! They almost got me...,Thank you almighty lord for guiding me to see this website. That's help me to know this fake state prosecutor that claiming she a serious state attorney in US American Cash Advance. I'm about to pay them tomorrow morning using the "Green Dot MoneyPak" worth $150.00 every other week.
Good thing, after i sent email to Julia Robinson (Fake PROSECUTOR) and ask her to send me the document paper stating all my personal information about the lender company...., and she replies like these...?"Go check your previous emails to see how much your total balance" but when i check and read her old mailed to me, is not giving much information i needed. That's the time i felt doubt and start searching the "Holland And Hart Associates" and found out compalint messages.
