A so-called friend used my computer and email address to obtain internet pdl's Twisted Evil

which she had kept current until recently she closed her account now I am getting nasty messages from these companies. What do I do, now they have my email address Rolling Eyes

and I have sent her through the usps copies of these email in hopes that she would call them but she hasn't and won't return any of my phone calls.

are these places calling you?if not i would just delete the emails.if so that is fraud on her part.try to speak with her,even if it means going to her house or apartment.

Amen to what the guest said, I know that's what I would do!

I don't think I'd be referring to her/him as a "friend" that's for sure!

I have tried to call her on the phone and so have some of her friends and she won't answer the phone so I have just printed off these emails and sent them to her through the mail. Can they do anything to me, (meaning the pdl places since they have my email address)?

if that is all they have on you.no,but i would be curious as to how much of your info these pdl's do have.i would do as some others advised and reply to the emails.giving the actual address and phone# of the borrower.sorry this had to happen to you ladybug.hope we helped.

Even though you had said the emails are coming to your email address, are they specifically addressed to you, or your "so-called" friend? What she did is just flat out wrong, and fraud, identity theft if she used your name. If she didn't use your name, then I would do as the previous posts had said; give the pdls her telephone# and address.

Not to mention, I would also be done with her once the matter gets straightened out.

I would send them (the payday lenders) an e-mail your friend's name and address, so they can contact her. Also report them to your internet provider.

if I notify these pdl places could I get into trouble for what she did?

I don't think YOU would be in trouble if you voluntarily give them the information they need in order to collect their money. It's a case of using your identity to obtain a loan. Just curious, do the emails come addressed under your name, or her name?

They come addressed to her name only.

Then I would definitely give them her correct email address.

I agree with other posters - give the PDL's her contact information and for goodness sakes, in the future, be more careful with your computer. We don't like to think our friends would do something like this, but she doesn't sound like much of a friend!! Hopefully she didn't have any access to any of your personal info (such as bank accounts, Social Security #, etc); but just to be on the safe side, at least for a while, keep a close watch on your bank account to make sure there's no unauthorized withdrawals or other activity.

There wasn't any way for her to get ahold of my info that is for sure I kept that pretty much away from my computer

Posted: Wed Oct 08, 2008 10:03 am Subject: FRIEND

Dang, can you imagine what would have happened if you co-signed a loan for her??? She aint no kind of a friend to do that and then have all of the people emailing you like that i know time iz ruff. But that's no excuse
