This company wrote me at my business address, which any personal loan company does not have.  In addition, they wanted a payment schedule and of course, my banking information, etc. (which I did not send) They asked for a $50 "hold" payment to prevent a lawsuit to collect from me and contact my employer.   When I questioned their legitimacy, the emails stopped immediately.  I have sent their documents to a loan company which has a similar name and will see what they say.  I imagine they will not be happy that someone is using the name of their company to scam people.

    It's a shakedown scam..
    The emails typically come from overseas, maybe India based on complaints reporting thick accented callers. It's really not worth wasting your time over it, since no one is going to track them down.  The payday lenders whose names they steal will tell you it's a scam, but there's not much they can do but inform consumers who call them.
