I just wanted to share the fact that everyone should be very cautious if searching for a loan online. Although you can find loans online through legitimate financial institutions there are also a lot of companies out there looking to rip people off so beware. You should always use some common sense and I also advise checking with the BBB before possibly giving your identity away to some hacker. If you're serious about getting a loan and you have the time you may want to check with your local banks first. You're always better safe than sorry! Very Happy

I agree with you, anymore I am VERY leary about giving out any information at all, online. I've learned a hard lesson with pdl's.

Also watch out for those offers that come through the mail. Make sure you real all the small print and check the companies out before signing anything or giving information out to these companies also.

Especially 'high risk' loans. You may 'quailify' for a loan somewhere,....but, you better make sure the % isn't through the roof!! I DO know a few 'loan comapnies', like this. But, I don't know if I'm allowed to name them, on this forum.

I just almost got ripped off by a company that offered me a loan if I sent them $1000 for insurance...I post a thread about if it is a real company on here. I found them online, but could find nothing online to authenticate them.

Yep......I found a few, just like that, 'egypt'. Horrible people..these companies are. They already know, 'you' may have bad credit, if you are filling out applications, for their companies.
