On 1/31/2011 at around 6pm, a man called me claiming his name was Officer Scott Mason calling from Gwinnett County regarding a Money Cash Advance. He then called me names, cussed and threatened to have me arrested the next day if I did not pay him $843.00 for a supposedly a $400 online loan he claims I applied for out online. He knew my social security number, address, full name, email address and last place of employment and said if I didn't pay him the company was going sue me and I would have to pay over $2000 in court charges. Then he had me write down his phone number to call him back which is (404) 981-6103 and said I had to fax him something in writing stating that I authorize the debit in the amount of $843 from a prepaid card or credit card towards my outstanding amount and I ensure the payment won't get declined and I won't dispute this payment along with the date the money will be sent, the card information, exp date, CVV#, billing address, my signature, and attached photo id and to fax to (650) 560-1721. I have since contacted my local police department and filed a report with BBBonline, the FBI, consumer reports online, social security dept., and posted a message to every scam site I could find on the internet.
And since I have received at least 2 emails from individuals stating that the same thing or similar has happened to them. See below:

On 2/8/2011 same situation occurred:
Caller claims there is a lawsuit filed against my name and social security #, threatened to black list my social security and file court documents under my name and social security #. Said his name was Alex Scott, his phone number is 469-718-7315 but on my caller ID it shows 315-551-5643 Syracuse, New York. I immediately phoned the police for whom I previously filed a police report with and added to the report. Furthermore, I have contacted the FTC, and the IRS and filed reports.
On 2/11/2011:
I got a call from 800-252-2107, 760-666-2107, and 714-464-8744 and all of them are scams. I have since changed my phone numbers too.

Welcome to 419Eater daevans1964. Since you are not asking for hints, tips or help I have moved this posting here. Normally we do not like to see phone numbers posted without header information but because you have received the numbers in a phone conversation and listed this same message all over the net there seems very little reason remove it.
