Lower-income people will remain at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder if they fall for these rip-offs. These “lenders” (or, as I like to call them, “the scum of the scum”) are bottom-feeders and legally make themselves rich on the backs of the poor or those soon to be poor. The lending rates of these types of operations are over 100 percent interest, and if you want to stay on the bottom, keep dealing with these guys. You know why these types of operations are located only at the poor end of town? Because rich people won’t play. That is how they got to be rich people.
