WHERE IS THIS NUMBER CALLING FROM AND WHAT IS THE SCAM?

I received a phone call from this number at work this past Friday.  They left a message threatening to sue me unless I had my lawyer call them back.  I called back and spoke with a Joseph Hernandez and he stated that I was being sued for a payday loan from a company called First Cash Advance.  I explained I never sought such a loan.  He spoke with a thick foreign accent and insisted I fax a copy of my driver's license and bank account information.  I am contacting a lawyer friend of mine on Monday to follow up on this for me.  There are reports from the Attorney general here in Kansas of payday loan scams.  These people had my cell phone number- a number I just obtained a few months ago.  I don't know how they got this.  I don' t give my cell number out to anyone.

By the way I looked into the phone number and it looks to be a landline out of Riverside, CA.
