Lose your money to money-lending imposters who pressure you into sharing personal details or making upfront payment.
How Does It Happen?
Here is how Loan Scams unfold.
Example of a scammer using fake loan ads to trick unsuspecting victims:
1
Scammers often promote these fraudulent activities through ads on websites, social media, emails or text messages.
2
They impersonate trusted money lenders, often sharing “business cards” as sales or financial advisors.
3
They will lure you with offers that seem too good to be true to pressure you to act immediately.
4
Once you have shown interest, the scammer will request for your personal documents to ‘process the financing’ to get you to accidentally disclose your banking details.
5
They might also request for upfront payment (e.g. advance deposit, administrative expenses, fees, etc.) to be paid into an individual/company account.
