FOR THE MOST PART, LOAN ADS ARE PHISHING ATTEMPTS

I strongly advise the Nigerian 419-type scammers not to post their “Loan Offers” here. Those type of ads are deleted on sight and we actively searched for them. I would render a guess that 99% of loans ads are scams. Post that garbage elsewhere.

For those who are not familiar with phishing: here’s wikipedia’s definition (Rough translation — Low-life scumbags trying to steal (harvest) your personal information through devious means).

These scumbags “fish” for personal information using instant messaging, phone, and email amongst other means.

Here are some more SCAM ALERTS:
