Question: how do I know whether a loan lender i've met on internet is genuine? What guards can I observe as I deal with a loans lender I've met on internet? anyone with a bad story with such encounters? e.g fraudsters etc. What info do I give him? what not?has anyone ever borrowed loans from "legit loan lenders" from th internet and it all ended well? without aftermaths?Please help

Answer: I use to work at Quicken Loans and worked leads.  Basically calling people that submitted info on websites such as getsmart.com or compareinterestrates.com.  Once of the biggest problems I had was overcoming the dis-trust.\n\nMy answer is simple:  research the company.  Ask if they have a website, then check them out through the state licensing board.  All lenders and brokers need a license to work in each state.  \n\nJust because a company is small doesn't mean they won't do a good job, though, so please keep that in mind.  You can usually get a much better deal working with a small broker than a huge direct lender!
