Predatory company that sends your…
Predatory company that sends your details to 100s of highly questionable lenders who spam your email incessantly!
These people ask me for all my personal…
These people ask me for all my personal information and like a damn fool I gave them most of it. Afterwards I never got a loan offer, but they took me to a page to force me to request my credit score instead. This was a really bad experience for me, and I am worried because of the information that I provided them and what they might do with it DO. NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY, THEY ARE SCAMMERS.
Ask too much and probing for all sorts…
Ask too much and probing for all sorts of finanancial information including checking acct and routing information. C'mon man, all that on a front end of a loan with no offer. Let me give you check book so they write they own check. BYE
I always like to read reviews first
I always like to read reviews first. But this time I didn't, till afterwards. Either way I added my application information, but when it ask for bank information before I know what's being offered I STOPPED ✋️. I don't understand, how they want bank information before the actual offer. That don't make since. So , I give a 2 star because asking for information before offer dont seem like a legitimate deal. NOT COOL 5KFUNDS
This site is a scam they offer nothing…
This site is a scam they offer nothing in the way of loans but advertise that they can get your approved
SCAM!!!
How do you ask for banking account information before you discuss interest rates, length of the loan, monthly payment etc. I wouldn't trust it
Not a transparent process
Not a transparent process. They make you provide all personal information to include your bank account information even before they can tell you they can work with you. This screams SCAM!!! stay away. Bad reviews on Trustpilot. I should've researched them first before going all the way with my personal info. it wasn't until they asked for my bank account info that it screamed a huge red flag. Also please notice how they have not replied to any of their bad reviews on this site. That is an even bigger "RED FLAG"
I Need a loan I’m not interested in…
I Need a loan I’m not interested in signing up for a credit check company I already have that
Much more than a scam...... Careful!
They asked for all my information including banking account information. Never good and definitely a scam for false approval or no good banks with very high interests.
Almost made me feel like they wanted to put my vehicle or house for collateral.
Might as well give them my house and car, I don't think so!!!!
Predatory Lenders! I submitted all my info until it wanted…
I submitted all my info until it wanted my Bank Account & Routing numbers before it ever gave me any Terms. No way in hell am I going to give someone my Banking Info that I’ve never even heard of.
This Screams Scam & Predatory Behavior!
I would steer clear of these people at all costs.
Not Today ...
Just bailed out of this fast moving app, once it prompted me to input my banking information with no terms and no explanation....got that familiar feeling of walking into landmine territory....abort mission . Leary of this company
Scam, confirmed in mid 2023
I gave it all my info and it gave me a bunch of cheap scam websites, INCLUDING "swagbucks" or whatever that old thing is called. Literally 100% a scam website. They started texting me almost immediately after I gave them my number, multiple times within 10 minutes. They "confirmed me for an appointment" without me setting up anything. All just really creepy.
Refers you to expensive Trbal Lenders...
They refer you to one Tribal Lender after another which are basically overly priced payday loans. It is a waste of time. They are not a direct lender and send you the worst loan options.
5kfunds is a disgusting operation
5kfunds is a disgusting operation. They are predatory. Like many others have stated I made the mistake of providing them with my personal information after confirming they were credible with nerdwallet. My personal email is now receiving 100's of spam messages and I'm receiving unwanted phone calls after 5kloans sold my personal information. This site needs to be reported!
I’m glad I saw all the reviews before…
I’m glad I saw all the reviews before officially entering my bank information. Didn’t realize getting a loan would be difficult
The worse
The worse! I am 100% sure they are not legit. I apply and they just keep sending me to a bunch of websites that look super sketchy. Also, after I apply I keep getting weird emails i regret giving them my bank info.
The biggest scam this world has ever seen
They really think I'm going to give them my routing number and my bank account number don't ever do that They think because we're elderly and naive that some of us are Pretty d*** smart so they can take their They're fine words and shove it up Where
the sun don't shine
Dont do it
Gave them all my information. got no money & honestly am now terrified, i have got spam mail yet, but I gave them a lot of information so im scared what they will do with that
I also went through this until I got…
I also went through this until I got the wanting the account information. No one has ever asked me for that before providing terms. They are now sending me a ton of message and I'm blocking them all. Illinois just passed a law that preditory lenders cannot do business anymore in IL so anything they would provide couldn't be done anyway. So yes stay away from 5K at all costs
