Is americanemergencyfund.com a scam?

This looks like a scam.

Loan lead form promoted as a cash relief program

A fact-checker rated False a social media video that promoted this site as a new relief program paying cash, and found that, at best, its form might connect people with lenders instead. The form asks for your Social Security and bank account numbers and shares your details with up to five partners, so if you already entered them, watch your bank account and consider a credit freeze.

Reasons for concern

  • Promoted as a relief program but rated False

    PolitiFact rated False a social media video that called this site a brand new financial relief program giving cash. It found that the form, at best, might connect people with lenders, whose money has to be paid back with interest.

  • Asks for your Social Security and bank numbers

    The form's own settings list your Social Security number, bank routing number and bank account number among its fields. Its privacy page lists your Social Security number and bank account details among what it collects.

  • Shares your details with partners you do not pick

    Giving your phone number agrees to calls and texts from the site and up to five of its network partners, even if your number is on a Do Not Call list. Its partner list names hundreds of lenders, debt relief firms and marketing companies.

  • Names no company behind it

    Its privacy and terms pages say the site is owned and operated by AmericanEmergencyFund, its own brand name, with no registered company name or street address.
