Proofs
Victims of loan app fraud should gather the following evidence:
- Screenshots of the App and Communication: Capture screenshots of the loan app, including the offers, interest rates, and any communication with the fraudsters such as emails, messages, or notifications from the app.
- Bank Statements and Payment Records: Collect bank statements or payment receipts that show any unauthorized or fraudulent transactions, particularly those related to the loan processing fees or other hidden charges.
- Loan Agreement or Terms and Conditions: Save copies of the loan application form, the loan agreement (if available), and any other documents that show the terms of the loan, including fees and interest rates.
- Messages or Calls from Loan Providers: Record any phone calls or text messages from the loan app that involve fraudulent requests for money or threatening behavior, especially if it involves blackmail or extortion.
- App Details and Reviews: Document details about the app, including its name, logo, developer, and the version of the app. Check the app’s reviews on app stores for other victim experiences that can serve as evidence.
