Requesting to remove my documents that might be used for fraudulent activities

Requested from SEC by R. Salazar at 02:11 PM on Oct 15, 2023.
Purpose: Requesting to remove my documents from CLEK VICOR LENDING APP
Date of Coverage: 10/13/2023 - 10/15/2023
Tracking no: #SEC-852504578573

Salazar 02:11 PM, Oct 15, 2023

I am concerned about my documents being used in a scam by a lending app that offered me a loan. They claimed that it was a legitimate offer, but asked me to submit my official ID and even requested that I take a selfie holding my id card. The approval peocess only took 12 hrs and I was notified by a finance assistant via telegram that my loan was approved. But to activate the loan, I have to pay 10% of the loan amount. However I understand that this is a scam and I am afraid that my peronal data might be used for fraudulent activities. OLA Name (Clek Vicor lending inc)
