This is called a "Phantom Debt Collection Scam". If a person applies for an online payday loan, personal information ends up in the hands of scammers, usually based in places such as India. These scammers claim that they are with a law firm, and attempt to scare a victim into paying off a debt that the victim does not owe. As of July 2014, these scammers are using a phone number 218 630-7007 (and other computer forwarding numbers) and are telling victims that they are from Greenlee Law Office in Hibbing MN.
