I didn't know that there are legal lenders in the internet. Legal means it is a company that is registered with the appropriate government agency and regulated by the central bank. If the website does not fall under that category then you might be scammed especially when the requirement is a credit card or your bank account number. I have so many emails from a certain African country with a big money stashed in a bank that they need a foreign bank account to transfer the funds. Obviously that is a scam and that trick can be used again.
