  • Unsecured high yield debt?

    I've been using a savings account for a while now and wanted some higher rates. What do you think of something like this?

    Is it real? Do I get my money and interest guaranteed unless the company declares bankruptcy?

    Hi Vassock!
    There are some rules that are worth to follow
    1.) One does not have to invest at all costs - you can always turn down an offer, especially when it is too complicated to understand
    2.) If something looks too good to be true, it isn't. By default I would say that there must be some kind of risk with the offer you found.
    3.) You always have an option to risk less: do not invest all your money into one thing only.

      And one more advice: Google the company's name. You can find news related to it easily...
      I always run a search for keywords <company name> + scam, <company name> + fraud before dealing with new "partners".

        If you want a high-yield investing option and don't mind unsecured debt options, you might look at sites like lendingclub where you have a large number of options to invest you money. Just remember that it's unsecured!

          Just how dangerous are those loans? Also, when they withdraw funds using the 4-day method, will there be any fees? Are there ever any fees with this company?
