Loan scammers pretending to be from Atlas and providing fake atlas email addresses are sending messages and leaving posts offering instant loans at low-interest rates for a small advance fee. These scammers utilize similar tactics to the scammers employing lottery scams. To add legitimacy to the offers, the scammers will at times impersonate government agencies or authorities. To help protect yourself from scams, watch out for the following:
