Fake loan websites often look urgent, over-promising and incomplete. They may push guaranteed approval claims, ask for immediate payments or request high-risk data through public chat channels.

A legitimate lender should make its official phone, email, office address, legal notices and anti-scam reminders easy to find. Corporate information, product pages, support channels and disclosure materials should be clearly separated.

Customers should verify contact channels carefully and avoid sending IC photo, identity documents or banking information through unofficial links, unknown messaging threads or unverified accounts. TAC, OTP, PIN, CVV and online-banking passwords should never be shared.
