- What are fake loan apps in India?
- Fake loan apps in India are mobile applications or websites that claim to offer loan services, but are actually designed to steal personal information and/or money from their victims. These apps often promise quick and easy loans with low interest rates, but in reality, they ask for upfront fees or sensitive personal information such as your Aadhar number, bank account details, or credit card information.

- The app offers loans with extremely low interest rates or no credit check.
- The app has poor grammar and spelling in its description or on its website.
- The app requests sensitive personal information such as your Aadhar number, bank account details, or credit card information.
