Strapped for cash? You might think an online payday loan is a quick and easy way to help stretch your money. But before you enter any personal information on a website, you should know that the online payday loan could be a window to a scam.
With this scam, a member is instructed to provide online/mobile banking usernames and passwords online or to the contact person.

The checks are then returned after the holds expire and the member has already removed the funds.
