Below you will find information about some of the most common lending scams, as well as information about who to contact if you believe that you have fallen victim to one. What to look out for:

Debt Collection Scams

If you receive threatening or harassing phone calls from someone claiming to be collecting on a debt, it might be a scam. Lenders in the FederalMoneyLoans.com network abide by fair debt collection practices and should not threaten or harass you. Do not provide any information or funds to someone claiming to be collecting on a debt until you have confirmed that the debt and collector are legitimate.

Fake Loan Offers

At FederalMoneyLoans.com does not make outbound calls to consumers unless they have requested to be contacted first. If you receive an unsolicited phone call from someone offering you a loan and/or claiming to represent our website, do not provide them with your personal information.

Requests for Money or Personal Information

If someone contacts you requesting your bank account information or asking that you pay money in order to request or receive a loan, it is a scam. FederalMoneyLoans.com and the lenders in its network do not charge any fees for requesting a loan.
