Dans certains cas, le nom, la marque et le logo d'une institution financière réputée peuvent être utilisés pour faire la promotion de soi-disant prêts et hypothèques préapprouvés ou de taux d'intérêt inhabituellement élevés pour des produits de placement. Les fraudeurs misent sur la réputation de l'institution financière et demandent à la victime un paiement immédiat pour qu'elle puisse profiter du crédit approuvé ou du produit de placement à rendement élevé.
