US Attorney @ Law Office Tried to scam me out of money for a loan I never got

I received a call from a Susan Jones (sure it's not her real name) who stated she was from the US Attorney @ Law office and she transferring me to someone else to let me know what was going on.in the meantime, I got cut off so she called me back and left a message stating that my Attorney on retainer must call them back because this was a time sensitive matter and that if I did not return the call then all she could do was wish me luck.
In the meantime, while I was calling her back another person named Dexter Brown (also sure not his real name) called my work number. I asked why he was calling my work number and he said because you were being transferred and you hung up. Stated I did not hang up I was cut off.
He went on to say that I was a "suspect" in a fraud case and that I got a loan from Instacash and would have to take my chances in court and pay $8,000.00 or more because of interest and late fees. I told him I never heard of Instacash and never got a loan from them. He said I could resolve this by paying them $350.00 right then and that would be it. He said I have been sent a bunch of emails and that they probably went to my spam mail and I deleted them without reading them. (how stupid do they think I am.) I told him I still open my spam mail to read it just because it might be something that is not spam so I could not have missed them.
I told him several times I never heard of instacash but they insist I had a loan. I was writing all this down as we were talking and I said to him that this was sounding so much like a scam and I could hear him quietly laughing. So now I say to him well I don't have $350.00 I would have to pay in 3 installments (never really intending to pay but trying to get as much info as I could). He put me on hold to speak to someone and came back and said that they refused to take payments and I would have to just go to court and pay the $8,000.00 and that someone would come to my job or my home and I would be arrested on the spot.
He asked if I could pay anything right now I said no I have $12.00 in my acct and was that enough and he laughed. He said ok I know you want to resolve this so can you pay $200.00 on friday. I said maybe and he then said i had to fax him all my info and sign it.
I took down everything he said (again, never intending to send them anything). He wanted my full name and debit card number, last 4 of my SS#, my address etc etc and I had to state I would not dispute the amount of $200.00. I told him I would like some kind of paperwork stating all of this but he said he could not give me anything until after I paid this money.
He asked how soon I could fax this info so I said about an hour or so. A couple of hours later, he called me again and said that he did not receive my fax. I told him that is because I did not send it and I was not going to send it. I said that I called the Better Business Bureau and also reported them to the Federal Trade Commission and that he was nothing but a scammer and then I hung up before he could say anything.
The number he gave me to call him back is 510-722-6092 and the fax number they gave me was 206-339-3745.
I suggest anyone who gets a call like this one, please report them to the Federal Trade Commision or the Better Business Bureau or as I did, I reported to both.
