Unpopular ‘Kate’ Blasts Massachusetts With Repeated Voicemails

I love spam calls, you love spam calls, we all love spam calls. Not. Kate sounds really legit though, right? I even questioned whether or not I actually applied for funding!

Kate from Direct Funding

I have received multiple calls from "Kate from Direct Funding" from multiple area codes including "Unknown" and/or "Blocked". The last call came in from (617) 665-8614 as as listed as Cambridge, MA.

What Does The Voicemail Say?

You're not the only one who gets these annoying voicemails.

"Hey it's Kate with direct funding I was giving you a call him to update you on the business funding actually I'm hoping to catch you so I can send you an email with the details um this is a actually my cell phone number um so if you can when you get this message can you shoot me a text what the best email address for you so I can send that over um you can also give me a call at this number if you have any questions I just am tend to respond a little faster via text thanks and I will talk soon bye-bye..."

I cannot find any language online lists "Direct Funding" as a legit thing, although "Direct Funding Now" pops up.
