Alert against fraudulent companies and apps – El Financiero

They advertise the same on television, on social networks, in brochures at the exits of the Metro, in emails, in print media, in short, it is possible to see them in many places offering loans without checking the credit bureau, without endorsement, which are granted Almost immediately, just by calling and with minimum requirements, others only with your Facebook profile or by downloading an application of the “company” in question to your cell phone, it is possible to “obtain a credit”; almost all, if not all, end in fraud.

Last week we saw the alert from the Citizen Council chaired by Salvador Guerrero, about the more than 2,200 frauds and doxing in loans for apps that they had detected, where 64 percent of the victims are women between 20 and 40 years old, the majority from CDMX, followed by the State of Mexico, Veracruz, Puebla, Jalisco or Tabasco.

The analysis identifies 130 alleged financiers, of which few media put their name, but that the Citizen Council has listed on its official page, here are the names of some: Send money, Ready cash, Cash money, Peso loan, José cash , Cash box, Acquire weight, Weight x, Credit wool, Presta-club, Credit Cash, Credit box, Bancredi, Viva Credit, Cash plus, Credit today, Cash mobile, Easy credit,

Credit mex, Fair credit, Creditya, Ifectivo, Tepresto, Lana plus, Max lana, Daddycredit, Good loan, Dineria.mx. All with applications or pages that make people believe that they are real, or with a different letter than accredited institutions by which they pose, facts that the Condusef denounces.

Now, now that the complaints have been made, knowing what they are doing, who they are and in many of them with identified bank accounts, has the country’s financial authorities taken the next step? By the banks that opened those accounts? That is a road that remains to be traveled and that we will talk about on Thursday, as well as frauds such as loans where they only verify the Facebook profile and that already have several people in the credit bureau and also fraudulent companies that are advertised on the main television channels.
