Let’s keep it short: Usually, you want money from the lender without having to pay upfront. Even fees and commissions for “real loans” are already included in the interest that will be paid later, so that these do not have to be paid separately. or even in advance.

Credit scam: Why the consumer advice centers publicly warn!

The consumer advice centers were probably one of the first to get wind of the fake credit brokers. It is not without reason that consumer advice centers are now sounding the alarm.

For example, the consumer advice center of North Rhine-Westphalia says that advance payment fraud is carried out, among other things, through sophisticated fraud involving “cash on delivery” contract documents. The originators send loan offers to potential borrowers through the mail, which are then only granted in return for cash payment upon receipt. the delivery.. In the package itself you will find worthless papers that will never lead to paying the loan amount.

The Hamburg consumer advice center also talks about very dubious loan offers that are either dubious because they can’t be used, or are a complete scam. For example, there will be “small loans” which are quite expensive or ominous “Unsecured Loans” are listed.

In some cases it is difficult to distinguish between “dubious loan offers” and genuine, fraudulent loan brokering. In any case, if in doubt, you should go to a known banking institution.

Loan Prepayment Fraud: Will My Bank Get My Money Back?

If you have already fallen into the trap and been a victim of tax fraud before, you want your money back. Your bank will be surprised, but they may be able to initiate a transfer recall for you.

However, this transfer revocation is bound by deadlines and also requires the consent of the payer. In other words: The makers would have to “allow” your bank to return your money.

Of course, credit fraudsters will not give such permission and instead want to get away with stolen assets from the victims of the fraud.. Your bank may not be able to recover your money – instead, speak immediately to an attorney who has experience in advance loan fraud.

Why does the fake loan default scam work?

• The perpetrators attract people with unstable situations. Of course there is no mention of the fact that these low interest rates and the lack of a credit check indicate a fraudulent loan.
• The advance tax fraudsters use one “Express Payment” the requested loan amount is advertised. The cuts are quick, but certainly not when it comes to paying out.
• Criminal marketing professionals are behind the loan scam. These people build websites that look better than many websites of reputable banking institutions.
• i do direct contact with fraud victims Loan fraudsters rely on psychological manipulation and convincing words. When you deal with these scammers, no one will believe it was a fake loan breach – too good!

It’s still going:

• Because of the involvement artificial intelligence The perpetrators can program chatbots, imitate voices, create certificates and bank documents, and fake customer reviews and interactions on social media.
• The Advance tax fraud is sold with credibility such as “standard fee”, “standard commission” or “required advance payment”. The credit fraudsters sometimes rely on apparently new guidelines for EU credit or anti-money laundering laws.
• The dubious loan brokers contact fraud victims directly via email WhatsApp or Telegram know Scammers can previously obtain personal data on the darknet (black digital market) to “target victims” and then write to them.
• Comparison portals for loans and credit offers are infiltrated by criminals. How does it work? The rip-offs get there through advertising or even deceive the operators of the comparison portals over a long period of time – so that these operators themselves assume that they are dealing with a reputable credit broker .

An actual example of a fraudulent loan bankruptcy case from my law firm:

A concerned person applied for an alleged loan from a dubious comparison platform for low-interest loans and made a large required deposit there.

Later he became one additional advance payment request, allegedly due to EU regulations, the person initially did not respond. The communication was initially “casual” via WhatsApp, see: Loan fraud on WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook and Instagram.

This was followed by the notification that the loan amount was disbursed to an account established at a reputable, recognized bank. When trying to transfer a large amount to their own account, the person encountered high and non-transparent fees for a “required code” they did not agree to.

How did it go:

Nevertheless, the need for this payment was identified. When I tried to withdraw money using a card I applied for, high charges for each transaction came to light again.

It also turned out that the same contact was working as both a “bank employee” and a “credit broker”. In addition, bad credit insurance had to be paid.

Communication was mostly done via email, Facebook and WhatsApp. The person involved then looked for a way to reinvest the money.
