Evil loan shark advertising

[KL7AJ]

I don't know if they have these ads down in "America" but there's this outfit called Western Sky, a fully native owned corporation that sharks money at about 115% interest rates. I can deal with that....there's a sucker born every minute. But, what IS so evil about this particular ad is that they have the most gorgeous woman on the planet plugging this "service." I've never owed a dime to ANYONE, yet when this babe shows up on the screen, I'm about ready to crack out the old checkbook myself. This is evil and vicious and should be patently illegal.

Depends on what incentives you get with your loan.

No collateral? That doesn't make any sense...unless they plan to harvest your organs if you don't pay up.

I've seen them in the 87% range, they prey on people with bad credit that don't read the fine print.

No, with interest rates like that, they can afford to write off quite a few unsecured loans.

Well, better them than "Two-Finger" Louie out of New Jersey, I guess. :P

First the casinos, and now this. It just goes to show you, there's more than one way to scalp the white man!!

nothing new. Advertising is a crap industry. More scams than you can shake a stick at. All niches covered. NO exceptions on how absurd the product or service.
I laugh every time I see a magnetic bracelet or power balance bracelet. That company got sued big time and filed for bankruptcy, still doesn't stop the scam. And those people who bought into that scam want to complain because I charge them $2 for a candy bar. I take it as the mark of a sucker.

By the time they do get shut down or run into legal trouble they have already made their mint and found a sucker to hold the bag. Even if caught they might have made enough after lawsuits, fines and such to still come out on top.
