I believe the shared processing network and database that XXXX XXXX companies use has been hacked or threatened with a Bot and thousands of customers may be affected. 

I applied for a XXXX XXXX XXXX about 3-5 years ago. 

Two weeks ago, I received an email telling me " my '' application had been received from and I need to click a link to verify it. I figured it was a scam, so I ignored it. A few days later, I received a followup email telling me the application has been processed. I called the company and explained that I had not applied for a loan. They asked me to verify my info and I discovered the application contained my name, previous address, drivers license #, DOB, and SSN. I submitted a report to FTC and added a fraud alert to my credit report. I also submitted a police report. I called the cash advance company back to ask for the banking info associated with the applicaton in hopes of getting a name of the thief from the bank, but they would not release it. 

This morning, I received another email from a different cash advance company - same thing, asking me to click the link to verify the info. I hoped the webpage would show banking info. I clicked the link and it did include banking info - my old banking routing number and account number!!! 

This leads me to believe that there is n't a single person submitting an application under my name, but it 's possible that the shared application processing network these companies use may have been hacked with malware or a Bot and the Bot is processing XXXX applications for XXXX customers in their database using the stored info the customers initially submitted years ago when a legitimate application was filed. 

The name of the first XXXX XXXX company was Green Trust Cash. 

The email I received today was from XXXX XXXX Now. The number is XXXX. They closed the application and put a fraud alert on it. 

However, I think there should be some type of public announcement to previous customers because inquiries are being made on our credit reports. 

Please contact me with a resolution. 

*In the next section, I provided my old address, which is the address on the cash advance applications. 

**I could only submit XXXX company name in the next section, but there are XXXX. See above for the XXXX company name.
