Warning for actors – fake loans and investments

The most common scheme among the 38 actors who have now been placed on the warning list is that they offer fake loans in exchange for a fee paid in advance.

"Consumers need to be especially vigilant when offers require payment in advance or promise quick profits. You should always check companies in FI's business register before giving away money or personal information," says Moa Langemark, consumer protection economist at FI, in a press release.
