Things to remember about loan fraud

1. Faking a phone number is easy with technology that Google and other companies provide. It's even possible to get a phone number with a U.S. area code in any town or state, while operating outside the U.S.
2. It's also common for fraudsters to use logos of real companies and even reference a real companies web site and address counting on you not to verify the loan offer.
3. A legitimate loan company will never ask you for money prior to you receiving your loan proceeds.
4. The best way to check to make sure the offer is real is to call the number you see on the company’s web site and then check the BBB to see if they have complaints. Even companies that aren't paying the BBB or registered with them will have a file on complaints that is maintained by the BBB. The company’s phone number will appear there as well. You can always call that number to confirm the company is on the up and up.

Note to the scammers:

We see the pain you cause people. You are at this time unworthy cowards and you are evil in your actions. You are bringing shame to your families and to all of us, through your lack of care for others. Reading this likely causes you anger. It should not. You do not have to do the things you are doing to steal from and hurt people. The skills you have could be used to make a legitimate living. Remember, you have a limitless number of choices and you can change your destiny at any point in time. Do the right thing from this moment forward and come out from the dark place where you are now wasting away your very limited and precious life.
