All persons who have called both home and work claim to be working for a law firm but this number is a cell phone, they are also all Asian according to their accents. I sent the following text in order to prevent future calls and harassment...(Important to note, they would not identify the name of their company, who they were collecting for, just confirmed my address and phone and work phone when they called. I applied and never received a loan online and my guess is this application information was illegally sold to this group..)
