Attached, there was a very convincing PDF document that broke down the loan and loan payments.

 I contacted "Eric McDonald" via phone. Again, he was convincing. He then sent me another PDF document that had the loan agreement and was meant for me to print out and sign. He also asked that I send a copy of my license, proof of income, and a voided check to him via fax, along with the signed document.

After I did that, he sent me the instruction as to how to pay a security deposit to insure the loan. He instructed me to go get a GreenDot MoneyPak and send him the card #. I immediately knew then that it was a scam. I confronted him via email, and he has not replied.
