Knowledge Is Your Best Protection against Predatory Loan Apps

Here is the truth: Loan apps are not going away. Some are helpful. Some are dangerous. The difference is knowing how to tell them apart.

The police in Kerala warned that young people are still falling victim — and the numbers "show no sign of declining" . That is because scammers are getting better at what they do.

But you can be better at protecting yourself.

Remember:

• A legitimate lender does not need your contacts
• A fair loan has clear, transparent terms
• A real company has a physical address and regulatory registration
• Your data is valuable — do not give it away for free
