This is why we have to make smarter forum posts and think about how the readers will process their titles, and think very hard about whether the world really needs another vague forum topic. The original post concerned fake debt collector thugs, and now we are on to fake PC techs. We cannot go on cramming discussion of every form of "scam" into one place.
Yet this is the second thread this month to be called "Scam?". In January we had one called "Scam", sans question mark. We've seen several others this year simply named "scam call", "scammers", "scam number", and "scams". Naturally their actual subjects have been varied. Every single time, the problems at issue could have been better handled in a phone number thread.
I'm musing on why this keeps happening, and will have suggestions when time allows.
Interesting that you posted in the correct thread for the first number, but the second number has 139 pages and you didn't post there. But yet you felt it necessary to post here.

Washington, D.C. December 07, 2010 FBI National Press Office (202) 324-3691
— filed under: Press Release
The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
For Extortion Scam Operations, File reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,CFB,FTC & FCC.. Emails can be attached to complaints filed with IC3, the cyber crimes division of the FBI.
I received a voice message on my cell from a 904-930-4194. When I heard it was a debt collector I panicked since I Know I do not have any bad debts. I called ,they switched to someone else and said they were trying to collect on a debt from a Payday loan that was written off but now trying to mediate a collection. the time frame was 2years back, I immediately indicated I have never taken a Payday loan in my life, they said it was done online and gave me an email that had my name with the words "Big Foot" in it. I laughed even though I know this is serious. ( The woman laughed too) Not my email. They had my address & I asked how she got my #& address she said she looked my name up. She said they are doing a final attempt to collect the mediated amount of $200+, I asked how much was the orig debt she said $949 & change..After repeating this is not my debt &why would I pay on something I did not do she replied I can go to court or have the levy placed on my bank account I said I have not received any paperwork on this. Her reply was they have sent paperwork & if I did not take care of this they will serve me with legal paperwork in 48hours..I replied why would I have to go to court if not my debt,? When I asked to speak to the company trying to collect she said they have a no call back. I replied I wanted to speak to someone else, I felt this was Fraud Her voice changed from being nice to nasty, Her reply was that I will be served with legal paperwork for bank levy in 48hours and hung up. This actually scared me even though I knew it was not my debt. Then the thoughts of someone got my identity really scares me.
Good info. My experience is they don't act until money is lost. The more money the more inclined they are to act. With enough complaints they may taken action against this slim without a spell checker.
Look for bad English and typos (misspelled words, wrong words, etc.), they're a dead give-away that it's a scam. Additionally, as stated in the other replies, the email addresses used are all Something@gmail.com. Nothing but a scam.

ok, let me explain this, this is false, there is no law that states you wil be jailed for a debt, next, no one, I mean no one will ever inform you that you have an arrest warrant, if you do you'll just get picked up, without warning, why would someone tell you so you can run?
There is no precedent for an official person to use an email marked as "outlook.com" or any of the other free domains, next just try reading the broken english of said email
I received similar as these and have gotten calls from morons trying to scare me into it, just stand your ground tell them to turn it sideways and stick it straight up their candy behind. then laugh as they get upset, find out how to say it in Tamil because most of these calls do come from some place in india oranother part of asia somewhere where they speak that
Plus, if it were a legitimate email stating legal action, there would be more contact information, and not a gmail account. I got one of those the other day and I read it and laughed becuase the grammar was so bad, and then I just deleted it. I find there is no point anymore in getting worked up over things like this. I get scam phone calls and emails constantly, and just ignore them. Evenutally it goes away, but unfortunately, the cycle then starts up again.
Did you report the email as spam before deleting it?
I wonder how fast Google kills these scammy gmail addresses to prevent the scammers from receiving any information from scared or gullible people.

I recently just received this email too. I replied asking nicely to have them send an invoice to my mailing address, as I always do in this case because I am currently working to get out of debt. He (michaeldebtcolletor@gmail.com) said only after I make at least a $250 payment via Money Gram. I said no, and he began sending me threatening emails that bordered on harassment. The next day he sent another saying he assumes I do not want to settle my debt and that the warrant has been issued. Ended the email with "GOD BLESS!!!!!" These people deserve to be in prison. Anyone know what steps I can take to protect myself?

"...I am currently working to get out of debt."
Someone had gotten the information about your debt(s) and passed it on to these scammers. Thousands of people are getting calls and emails from these scammers.
