170 FTC Complaints on (855) 909-0817 Alone Connect to a $62,000 Unsolicited Loan Campaign

By Ken Duggan ยท June 18, 2026

A loan offer you never applied for, a caller who gives you a callback number different from the one that reached you, and repeated contact after you ask to be removed. That pattern surfaces across multiple BBB Scam Tracker reports, all pointing to a campaign operating under the name Capital Lending Union.

What the Reports Describe

BBB Scam Tracker reports filed between May and June 2026 describe nearly identical contact. A caller identifying himself as "Adam Foster" from Capital Lending Union Underwriting leaves voicemails saying the recipient is close to approval for a $62,000 personal loan. The callback number given is (855) 909-0871, but the number that actually placed the call differs from that callback across the reports.

One consumer wrote that the caller was from India and described repeated calls. Another wrote that they had asked to be removed from the call list twice with no result. A third noted they had never submitted any loan application.

These are individual consumer reports, not confirmed findings. The consistency across separate filings, the same name, the same dollar amount, and the same callback number, gives the pattern weight.

The Domain

One domain surfaces in connection with this cluster: secure-creditlendingpoint.com. The name combines loan and credit terminology in a way designed to sound official. Any website linked in follow-up messages from this campaign warrants close scrutiny before you enter personal or financial information.

What to Watch For

This campaign fits a recognizable loan fraud structure. Unsolicited contact about a loan you never applied for is a warning sign on its own. A callback number that differs from the number that called you is consistent with caller ID spoofing, a technique that masks the true originating number. A fixed offer amount, a named point of contact who cannot be verified through a legitimate lender's public directory, and pressure to respond quickly all indicate elevated risk.

If you receive one of these calls, do not call back the number left in the voicemail. Do not share financial account details, Social Security numbers, or upfront fees. Lenders operating lawfully do not cold-call consumers about pre-approved loan amounts, and they do not require payment before releasing funds.
