Tracking no: #NPC-111159008530
Please investigate and remove this app called Suncash or Suncash Lending Investors from Google Play. This app is harvesting all information from a borrowers phone. I am not sure what other data they are getting from it. I have been a borrower of this lending app and they called me and all my contacts from my phone list. They keep on sending malicious messages, threatening and cursing just to get the money I borrowed from them. On the due date itself, they sent me 10x or more messages using different numbers. I only borrowed 2000 pesos from them, (got barely 1200) because of their charges.
