Important information
- Additional Info:
BBB is alerting consumers that this legitimate company, First Financial Credit Union, has had their website spoofed by unknown persons. The fake website looks almost identical to that of First Financial and uses the same name. The fake website is offering personal loans. One consumer reported to BBB that she was told the company needed to do a "test deposit" into her account and the consumer should immediately send a payment for that amount to show good faith. In another complaint, the consumer was told she needed to pay several hundred dollars as "insurance" for the loan. In neither case did the consumer receive the loan and in the first case, the checks initially written to the consumer bounced. Both consumers are out several hundred dollars. BBB reminds consumers that a legitimate loan offer will never require the consumer to make an upfront payment.
First Financial Credit Union has no connection and is not affiliated with the website and the loans offered by First Financial Credit. Consumers who have sent money to the fake website for loans can click First Financial Credit to view the BBB Business Review and file a complaint.
