The Anonymous Widower

An Unseen Advantage Of Peer-To-Peer Lenders

There are three main peer-to-peer lenders in the UK; Funding Circle, Ratesetter and Zopa and I have extensive filters and Google alerts that look for any fraudulent activity concerning these companies.

Have I just not found them, but I haven’t seen or heard of anybody trying to get access to any of their web-sites for illegal purposes. I’ve not even heard of anybody trying to hack Wonga either.

On the other hand I’ve had over thirty phishing attempts in the last few weeks to try to get into my non-existent Barclays account.

So are you at an advantage if you keep your savings with a peer-to-peer lender?

Certainly at present you are! But phishing attempts will come, even though I think they would be a very difficult scam to setup and target successfully.
