How can a social-media loan advert be checked?
Save the advert and identify the entity it directs you to before sharing financial information.
A low rate or enthusiastic comment does not verify the provider or define an individual offer.
Use independent official channels to check authorization and actual terms. Treat the ad as a claim to investigate, with its date and conditions retained for comparison.
