Fraud Awareness

Stay safe while searching for a loan.

Protect yourself from scams

LendWave will never ask you to pay an upfront fee to receive a loan. Be cautious of anyone who guarantees approval, asks for payment via gift cards or wire transfer, or pressures you to act immediately.

Warning signs

Requests for upfront "insurance," "processing," or "good faith" payments. Lenders who contact you unsolicited and demand personal information. Communications with poor grammar, mismatched email domains, or threats. Offers that seem too good to be true.

If you suspect fraud

Do not send money or share additional information. Contact your bank if you have shared financial details. Report suspected fraud to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and let us know through our Contact page so we can investigate.
