The article from AOL Finance discusses a scam where individuals are tricked into paying fees for loans that do not exist. Scammers contact potential victims, often through unsolicited calls or emails, offering loans with attractive terms.

Once the fee is paid, the scammers disappear, and the promised loan never materializes. The article warns that legitimate lenders do not ask for payment before loan approval and provides tips on how to avoid such scams, including never paying for a loan in advance, checking the lender's credibility, and being cautious of unsolicited loan offers. It also advises reporting any suspicious activities to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and local authorities.
