Colonial Penn’s ‘Whole Life Insurance’
Life insurance company’s TV ad doesn’t tell the whole story.
As seen in our spam inbox. Something seems off about the claim that 365 Day Loan can hook you up with “$2500 for any purpose.” It seems particularly off when 365 Day Loans’ own website notes that you can only “request up to $1000 online.”
What 365 Day Loan appears to be is a service for connecting you with a payday loan provider. Payday loans come with exorbitant interest rates, and a host of other issues that often land those in need of money in a worse position than when they took the loan. For more on payday loans, click here.
