Hi, I would like to report these lending apps who keeps on bombarding me to get loan messages with them. I never apply any loan with them or to anyone. So where did they get my personal number? I’m afraid this might lead to hacking my personal datas. Please help how can we stop them from sending text messages towards me. Those apps are jetpeso, easypesopro, pesoclick, quickpeso. Thank you advance. -KD
