What is a Financial Assistance / Loan Scam?

Financial assistance and loan scams promise easy money, pre-approved loans, or government assistance programs. These scams often target people in financial distress and require upfront fees or personal information, but never deliver the promised funds.

Warning Signs

  • Promises guaranteed approval regardless of credit history
  • Requires upfront fees or payment before receiving the loan
  • Claims to be from a government agency
  • Offers interest rates that seem too good to be true
  • Requests payment via gift cards, wire transfer, or prepaid cards
  • Pressure to act immediately or lose the opportunity

How to Protect Yourself

  • Legitimate lenders never guarantee approval or require upfront fees
  • Research lenders through the Better Business Bureau
  • Never pay fees before receiving a loan
  • Use Ghost App to protect your personal number from loan scam call lists by using a temporary number for loan applications
  • Be wary of unsolicited loan offers
  • Verify government assistance programs through official .gov websites
  • Report loan scams to the FTC and your state attorney general
