1. Common scams using our name
- Upfront-payment scams. A caller or email claims you have been “approved” for funding from ICG Funding but must send a wire, pay a “processing charge,” or buy gift cards before the funds can be released. We never charge anything before funding.
- Fake funding offers from spoofed domains. A message comes from a domain that looks like ours (e.g.
icg-funding.io,icg-funds.com,icgfunding.co) but is not us. Our only domain isicg-funding.com. Email always comes from an@icg-funding.comaddress. - Broker impersonation. A broker claims to be a “direct representative” or “funding manager” for ICG and asks for your bank login, routing number, or a voided check outside our application portal. ICG only collects banking information through our secure application portal. Never by phone, text, or email.
- Prepaid card / crypto payment demands. A caller demands payment to a prepaid gift card, cryptocurrency wallet, or peer-to-peer app as a condition of funding. No legitimate lender accepts payment by gift card or crypto for loan origination.
- Employment / recruiter scams. A “recruiter” claims to be hiring for ICG Funding and asks for your Social Security Number, bank account, or an “equipment purchase” as part of onboarding. Our recruiting is published on /careers and never asks candidates to pay for anything.
- Phishing that copies our design. A page that looks like ours asks for your login, bank credentials, or Social Security Number outside our application flow. Our genuine apply pages live under
icg-funding.com/apply.
2. Red flags
Treat any of the following as a red flag:
- Pressure to decide “right now” or the offer disappears.
- Requests for payment by gift card, prepaid debit card, cryptocurrency, wire to a personal account, or peer-to-peer app (Zelle, Venmo, Cash App).
- Promises of guaranteed approval or interest-rate quotes with no review of documentation.
- A request to share your online-banking password, remote access to your computer, or a one-time code from a text message.
- An email address with a domain that does not match
@icg-funding.com. - A phone number that is not (646) 813-4633.
- A signed contract emailed to you before you uploaded a single document.
3. How to verify it is really us
- Call our verified number at (646) 813-4633. Hang up on the person you were talking to and dial us directly. Do not call a number they provided.
- Check the domain. Our only domain is
icg-funding.com. Email, application portal, and signing links all live on that domain. - Confirm your application status by signing into the portal using the link you saved when you applied, or by emailing hello@icg-funding.com from the address on file.
4. How to report suspected fraud
- Report to ICG Funding. Email security@icg-funding.com with the subject “Suspected fraud or impersonation.” Forward the suspicious email as an attachment when possible, and include any phone numbers, caller names, and times of contact.
- Federal Trade Commission (FTC). File a report at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
- FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). File at ic3.gov if you sent money or shared bank credentials.
- Your state attorney general. Consumer-protection divisions investigate local impersonation and can help coordinate across state lines.
- Local police. File a local police report if you were defrauded of money or identity-verifying information. Banks and card networks often require a police report number to process a chargeback.
- Your bank and card issuer. Call the number on the back of your card immediately if you sent a payment to a scammer.
5. What we will never do
- Ask you to pay an upfront charge, insurance deposit, or “release charge” before funding.
- Ask for payment by gift card, cryptocurrency, prepaid debit card, or peer-to-peer app.
- Ask for your online-banking password or remote access to your device.
- Pressure you to sign a contract without reviewing your bank statements.
- Send a contract, wire instructions, or funding link from any domain other than
icg-funding.com.
