 TITLE: 7 Signs of a Personal Loan Scam CONTENT: 6\\. The Lender Reaches Out to You First\n---------------------------------------\nIf a personal loan lender contacts you via phone or mail, do not respond. Trustworthy lenders do not advertise their services by cold-calling potential borrowers, sending them letters in the mail or arriving at their door. If a lender reached out to you first, regardless of whether it's online, in person or via mail, they may be a scammer trying to get access to your banking information. END
