Description

I received multiple text messages from loan companies all in one day that I did not apply for most saying that I had been approved for a personal small dollar amount loan. All of which I did not apply for. This is a copy of the first text I received from direct cash: Congratulations MY NAME, your loan for $200.00 is approved! Now all we need is your signature. Reply "Instant Funding" if you need your money INSTANTLY! Login to sign at: https://app.directcashllc.com/ Login: ********************* Password: Last 4 of your SSN Text HELP for help, STOP to stop. Here is the second: Hey MY FIRST NAME, this is Mickal with Direct Cash, I am working on your loan application, I am here to help you get your funds quickly: 1) You can go to app.directcashllc.com to complete the final steps on your own, login is fast and easy. Reply to this text with any questions along the way 2) Reply "Green" to this text to message directly with me all the way through. 3) If you still need assistance call 888-554-8217.

And the last text I received all on Dec 12th: Congratulations MY NAME, Your loan was approved with Direct Cash. You should receive your funds into your checking account within the next business day. The actual time that the funds will appear in your account depends on your financial institution and whether the day is a bank holiday.
