Question : How can I verify if a bad credit loan I was offered over the internet is from a legitimate company?
I have an e-mail address. I believe the offer came from the United Kingdom but I am not sure. With all the internet fraud there is, I want to make sure I am not being scammed.

If all they provided was an email address, it isNOT a legitimate loan company. That is someonelooking to charge you to apply for you (best casescenario) or simply take your money...most likely! If there is no company name to even verify thelender's identity...there probably isn't one.

bogus companies prey on people in financial bindsand try to get you to re-mortage homes, use cars,boats etc as collateral, they get your financialinformation and can ruin you further....never everdo any financial transactions such as loans etcover the internet, there are too many places righthere in the good old usa that will help peoplerepair credit with loans and mortages, it may costyou, but you have to pay the piper to repair thedamages....go talk with a company in your areathat offers help to credit challengedpeople....stay away from the e-mail saviors, theirnot your friends trust me....

Some of your answers got it right. If all youhave is an email address, it is almost certainly aloan scam. Before you share any personalinformation, get a verifiable business name,address and phone number (not just some 888 or 866or international number). Remember that it isillegal for any lender, private or otherwise, toask for upfront money before you receive a loan. Check out the Federal Trade Commission and Crimesof Persuasion websites for more info. on loanscams. And many of these offers out of the UnitedKingdom have roots in Nigeria-a capital of loanscams.
