Loan fraud usually starts with an offer that sounds easy: instant approval, no checks, money today. The aim is to take an upfront payment or your personal details.
Warning signs
- Someone asks for an OTP, PIN or password.
- You are asked to pay a fee before a loan is approved.
- The offer comes from an unknown number, link or app.
- You are pushed to decide immediately.
Firstfund will never ask for your OTP, PIN or an upfront fee to approve a loan.
If something feels wrong
- Stop, and don't share any details or make a payment.
- Report cyber fraud on the national helpline 1930.
