The Washington State Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”) warns consumers to verify the license of any lender with whom they consider doing business with. Consumers are urged to verify licensing status prior to giving any lender nonpublic personal information, such as social security number and checking account access.

DFI has received a report of what appears to be an advance fee loan scam. A consumer reported receiving an email approving the consumer for a loan. The email sent to the consumer included a letter and loan documents. The letter was signed by a person named David Jackson, who identified himself as a senior loan officer. The letter and loan documents referred to the lender by several names, including: American Financial Services Association, AFSA, Priority Loan Servicing, Cash Priority Loan Servicing, Priority Personal Loan, and Priority Personal Loan Servicing LLC. The American Financial Services Association (AFSA) has confirmed with DFI that such solicitations are fraudulent and not authorized by the trade association.

After contacting the company, the consumer was told that she could not receive the loan unless she first paid a fee using a prepaid card.

Verify Licenses

DFI strongly recommends that consumers deal only with those lenders that are properly licensed to conduct business. Consumers can determine whether lenders are properly licensed using the “Verify a License” feature on DFI’s website at www.dfi.wa.gov.
