[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This guy sounds so shady. You are getting in more trouble by engaging with him. If they think they have a shot with you, I don't see him giving up on this scam. It's much safer to not reach out and block him all around. If he escalates, file a complaint with the state's disciplinary board. He cannot demand payment with blurry pdfs as his evidence. People counseling you otherwise must be scammers themselves or easy targets.[/quote]

Here is an update.

I called the collection agency he said he is from and they told me he does work there, although they sounded weird. Like they answered the phone with a “hello”, not the name of the company.

He sent me another PDF. The PDF looks like a couple of paystubs pasted in the middle of the Excel spreadsheet and some random calculations.

The paystubs do have the correct name and address, and an employee number.

I called my former employer and asked to send me my paystubs. They asked for my employee number. I didn’t have it so I gave them the one off this guy’s PDF. They said they found a matching record and will contact me regarding paystubs.  That was also weird too, but I’m 99% sure they are legit.  It’s Accenture Federal Services.

Meanwhile, I checked my bank records and I did not receive the second direct deposit that this guy was showing in his PDF.

So I sent him an email asking to send me hard copies of my paystubs and receipts for direct deposits within 30 days, otherwise I’ll be ignoring him as I think it is a scam. I said I’ll report this scam if I find evidence.

He responded saying he’s sorry I think it’s a scam and threatened to ruin my credit.

And that’s where I left it.
