In the current economic environment, loans have become a common need for many individuals or businesses.
However, what followed was an endless stream of loan scams, especially some bad loan assistance companies that took advantage of borrowers' urgent need for funds to charge high fees.
Recently, Ms. Xiang from Chengdu, Sichuan, encountered such a loan assistance scam: she originally planned to borrow 100,000 yuan, but was eventually charged a high service fee of 29,000 yuan.
This incident has attracted widespread attention and heated discussion, and it is necessary for us to have a deeper understanding of and expose the true face of such scams.
According to the reporter's investigation and interviews, it was found that situations similar to Ms. Xiang's are not uncommon.
Many victims said that they usually contacted these bad loan companies by receiving a text message claiming to promise a "low-interest loan".
These text messages are often disguised as notifications of bank policy adjustments to trick recipients into responding.
Once a reply is given, someone claiming to be a bank employee will contact the party and invite him or her to sign a contract offline to process a loan.
The operating methods of these bad loan assistance companies are extremely deceptive.
For example, they may deliberately obscure the loan amount, fee schedule, and service period in the contract, making it difficult for borrowers to detect any problems.
In addition, these companies often use high-pressure tactics when signing contracts, such as blocking the door with multiple people, using soft or hard threats, etc. to force the parties to sign.
From a legal perspective, the actions of these bad loan assistance companies are suspected of being illegal.
According to Ren Chao, a professor at the School of Economic Law of East China University of Political Science and Law, this behavior constitutes false advertising and violates the Anti-Unfair Competition Law and the Advertising Law. In serious cases, it may also constitute the crime of false advertising or fraud.
Faced with this situation, as a potential loan applicant, how should you avoid falling into similar scams? First of all, you should be wary of any unsolicited loan information.
Secondly, be sure to verify the identity of the person sending the message to avoid believing in the so-called "low-interest loan" promise.
Again, read all terms carefully before signing any loan contract, and seek the help of a professional lawyer if necessary.
Finally, if you find that you have been defrauded, you should call the police and seek legal assistance in time.
With the rapid development of the financial market, various loan product and service providers have emerged.
Although this provides convenience for those who need loans, it also brings a lot of risks.
Therefore, understanding and identifying potential loan scams is important for protecting one's own rights and interests.
At the same time, regulatory authorities should also strengthen supervision, promptly investigate and punish illegal and irregular behaviors, and ensure the healthy development of the financial market.
