Received call today from Andrew Collins telling me I qualified for $10,000 loan, but would need to send $1,352 as good faith deposit.  I told him to email me the documents for review.  He asked for copy of ssno, paycheck stubs and bank account number.  Again, I requested he send me all the docs for my review and verification.  He said he would and verified my email address.  Guess what?  Nada in my email.  Beware.  Hard times and desperation make easy prey for these scavengers.

Report them to FCC, FBI, local police and State Attorney General!

    This is an "advance fee" loan scam.  They often operate cross-border, from Canada, to interfere with prosecution.  

    Legitimate lenders do NOT ask for large "deposits", "fees", or "insurance" up front.

    What phone numbers?
    What (phony) company name did he use.
    How did he ask you to send the money?  Western Union?  Sent to where?

    By the way, the alias "Andrew Collins" also shows up in use in a Nigerian scam, although there is nothing to stop multiple scammers from using the same alias.
