HI! I would like to report the ff. online loan apps: *CashGo *PeraNyo They accessed my phone contacts and sent them numerous texts pertaining to my cash loan and it caused me great humiliation at work. I have intentions to pay but they always harrass me. According to the terms and conditions that I applied for, they will access my phone contacts just to check my capability of paying and not for collecting. Also, loans are considered private and should not be broadcasted to every person we know.
