A caller says a loan has been approved in your name
Separate marketing, a fabricated warning and a real application that needs investigation.
An approval claim can be advertising, an invented emergency or a real application requiring attention. Do not approve an agreement or transfer money merely to discover which. Contact the genuine lender independently.
Find the actual application
If you applied, open the existing application record in the lender’s app. If not, ask official support whether an application exists and how unauthorised activity is disputed. Knowing your name does not establish a loan. Keep the claimed reference without supplying more identity documents to the caller.
Reject cancellation by transfer
Example: someone asks for a code, tells you to receive a loan and transfer it elsewhere to cancel it. Those actions may create new exposure rather than verify anything. End the conversation and explain the entire request to the real lender. An advance release fee is another separate risk requiring written verification of genuine terms.
Investigate confirmed unauthorised activity
If the lender confirms an application you did not make, request its dispute procedure and a case reference. Review credit information through official channels available in your country. Preserve communication and seek the appropriate identity-misuse reporting route. Procedures vary: blocking a number or publishing a directory review does not itself cancel a contract.
Quick checklist
- Check the application with the real lender.
- Do not approve unsolicited codes.
- Reject telephone cancellation payments.
- Request the formal dispute process.
