GL offering financing but looks a bit fishy

[springbok]

I got an email from GL that they now offer financing through Kabbage. Wow, sounds like a good idea.
Figured I would take a look through it as I like to see..
One of the last steps is them asking you to provide your online login information to your bank.
Are they out of their minds? ? ?
Idiots.. There is no way anyone should ever give online access to your bank account to ANYONE !!!!!

Hmm, sounds like perhaps you were sent a phishing email and the website you hit is a fake one.

Sadly that isn't the case, people give out that information all the time. Soon to be broke people but they still do it.

Send me the link.

Kabbage is a pretty well developed website. I did some looking around. They do have a 1-888 number but do not have the time to call it.
Just wanted to make more people aware of it, see how many others are getting the same email..

PM me the link if you don't mind, I'd like to check on this.

I don't find any info on GovLiquidation's website about financing so are you sure that the email is actually from GovLiq? Me thinks it was phishing...

This should say enough and should tell us the level that GL has sunk to in order to get people to buy from them.

Hmm I see it now, you're right it's legit. But this is for businesses really. They "say" they don't store your login info. But I understand the reasoning for it. Since businesses creditworthyness is based on payments and trends. That's about the only way they could get it. Unless maybe you gave them a bank statement. That said, it doesn't sit well with me.

Also, if you're buying toys on credit, that's also not a good idea.... Just sayin'.

ya buy it flat out save your credit score

I read some of the reviews and it sounds as though you do have to give Kabbage your login credentials to your bank. When they say this should be your last resort they aren't kidding.

Et tu, GL? Et tu?

I got the same email this morning from GL. I didn't even bother to read it, it went right into the trash can.

i dislike how they operate
but there BBB page is not bad not very many complaints on there...

I trashed that email. The BBB is a joke. No real authority to do anything.

No but the one time I complained to the BBB locally the company resolved the problem with me.

Sometimes a company really cares about their image, they will want to keep customers happy. But a un-named steel building manufacture has scammed people, and the BBB just allowes bad reviews. The hard part is that you have to take a company to court to get anything done.

i have had decent luck with the BBB. it is a pane and can be used as a time line and history to dispute it a the credit bureau level
