Fast Cash International
Tried to scam 890.39 out of me for a payday loan I didn't have

I got a call yesterday from Fast Cash International from a Francis Lopez. He stated there were 3 federal charges against me for Internet fraud, grand theft and something else. Told me if I didn't pay 890.39 I would be arrested. He also told me to get a criminal attorney. I have a personal attorney, gave him his info, he stated this is not a criminal attorney and will not do you any good.
I happened to be on the internet when he called so I googled the company name and sure enough, I saw it was a scam. I asked him the name of the Payday Loan company I "got" the loan from. He said he didn't have that info but I was in real trouble and headed to jail. He stated our call was recorded, I was not to interrupt him until he finished talking. He also told me my attorney was to call him immediately.
I told him it was saturday and the office was closed. He told me to call my attorney at home and have him call him back. I then stated if he needed to talk to my attorney HE could call him on monday. He had my name, last 4 of my social security #, the name of my bank, place of employment, my address and the names of 2 of my family members.
Having my personal info bothers me. But I am relieved to know this is happening to others and its a scam. The # that showed up on my caller ID is 810-676-161. Not a legit USA # but the call back # 951-643-4350 is legit and they answer with "Hello", no company name.
PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS FRAUD. I am putting this under Federal Government as he said he worked for the FBI
