today i got a call from pn financial. very important msg that i call back so i did. guy on the phone had talked to me about an account that was not mine - loan for pay day - i said this is not mine - he went over various addresses that were not mine. he had the wrong person - he was looking for another person with my name. i asked the ca how the heck did he get my number and he said auto dialer......im all caught up and i dont have any ca's on my tail -- very odd -
