Sometimes the best solution is knowing when not to make a loan. An elderly couple asked us for a rather substantial loan to help their grandson who was in trouble. The request seemed suspicious, and, after asking several questions, we determined that the couple was being targeted by a scam. The couple later confirmed that their grandson was indeed okay and not in need of their money. They were grateful we helped prevent them from being scammed.
