Description

Online funding scams aren’t the clumsy, obvious traps they used to be. Today’s scammers build “lender” websites that look painfully real — polished logos, perfect wording, five-star reviews… all engineered to trick even the most careful borrower.

In this episode, we cover:
• How fake lending sites and phishing emails mimic real institutions
• Why upfront-fee scams and “guaranteed approval” offers are major red flags
• How scammers use fake reviews and social-media ads to appear legitimate
• The rise of loan-stacking schemes that trap borrowers in hidden debt cycles
• The essential safety checks to avoid identity theft and financial loss
