online loan application

Hi all
I recently applied online to alliance and liecster for a loan, they emailed aknowlegement stating they would let me know their decision, the next morning I was contacted by a company called "YES3" I thought I was talking to A&l they went throught all the questions and approved the loan, only when I got the paperwork I realised it was not A&L. Question where did this company get my details? They were more interested in selling me a PAYDAY loan which I made quite clear I was not interested in.

    In their terms and conditions you click to say that you agree to A&L passing your details to a panel of lenders if they cannot lend to you directly.
