Important information
- Believed to be out of business:According to information in BBB files, it appears that this business is no longer in business.
- Additional Info:Based on a review of the company's website and complaints filed against them, the BBB has determined this company is a fraudulent online entity claiming to offer advance fee loans.
To avoid advance fee loan schemes, the BBB offers the following advice:
If you're asked to pay a fee upfront or wire funds to receive your loan, the offer is not legitimate. According to the Federal Trade Commission, it's illegal for companies doing business by phone in the U.S. to promise you a loan and ask you to pay for it before they deliver.
Be sure to check the company's Business Review with the Better Business Bureau at bbb.org.
Ignore any ad - or hang up on any caller - that guarantees a loan in exchange for a fee in advance.
Remember that legitimate lenders never guarantee or say that you will receive a loan before you apply, or before they have checked out your credit status or contacted your references, especially if you have bad credit or no credit record.
Don't give your credit card, bank account, or Social Security number on the telephone, by fax, or via the Internet unless you are familiar with the company and know why the information is necessary.
Don't make a payment to an individual for a loan; no legitimate lending organization would make such a request.
Don't wire money or send money orders for a loan through Western Union or via Green Dot MoneyPak. You have little recourse if there's a problem with a wire transaction. Legitimate lenders don't pressure you to wire funds.
