I was surprised to receive a piece of mail today saying “Your New Account Has Been Established” because I never signed up for this.
QuickBridge Funding appears to be doing predatory marketing to small business owners offering them a fake-looking credit card for their “working capital” offer of a loan up to $300,000. I am guessing this has very high-interest rates.
Here is a picture of the letter and fake scam credit card they sent me:
Letter I received in the mail with my info blurred.
After some research, it looks like this company was possibly previously called BlackRock Lending Group. BlackRock Lending Group has been named by the State of Washington as “an advance fee loan scam.” However, this is all speculative information.
