Fraud is the intentional deception of a person or group for personal or financial gain. It can take many forms, such as identity theft, spoofing, or, in the case of financial fraud, debt collection or advance-fee scams.

While every act of fraud is different, there are common warning signs. These include unexpected changes in your credit report or financial statements and receiving notifications for a loan you didn’t take out. To prevent fraud, stay vigilant and regularly monitor your personal and financial information.

Phishing is a type of fraud where scammers impersonate legitimate organizations to steal personal information, such as account details or card numbers, through emails, texts, or fake websites.

An advance-fee scam occurs when someone is asked to pay a fee—often labeled as a “processing” or “insurance” charge—to receive a loan. Check Into Cash will never ask you to pay an upfront fee.

Fraudsters use various methods, including social media, phone calls, emails, and other everyday communications. To learn more about where fraud can originate, visit “Common Sources of Fraud and Scams.” For tips on staying safe, reference “How to Prevent Fraud.”

Scammers use various tactics, including spoofing, phishing, and posing as debt collectors. For more details, see “Common Types of Scams.”

Loan-based scams occur when fraudsters impersonate legitimate lenders to steal personal information or money. They often ask for an upfront fee, claim they can approve you without a credit check, or use high-pressure tactics. Before doing business with any lender, research them online and review their Better Business Bureau profile.

Debt collection scams involve fraudsters posing as collection agencies, demanding immediate payment on unpaid balances. They may use aggressive tactics and attempt to collect inflated or fictitious debts.
