Yes I received this same e-mail yesterday 12-2-10 almost word for word with the exception that the loan company is listed as "Cash Now" with the telephone extension as 2016 with the person's name as "Carole Williams" from the same Texas addreess.  I was about to call them and see what is going on when I discovered your notice from the e-mail.  I had changed my telephone number but they still have my e-mail address & all my pertinent information.  Thank you so very much for your insight and advise.  I definitely will not call the telephone number or make any attempts to answer them.
