In the app they even ask about income and lving history. They run a soft credit check (so it can't hurt to try). @ Mr.TML – I suspect they will need to see some type of history.

One of my friends invested in a <a href="http://themoneymakers.org/englishindex.html" rel="nofollow">high interest cd abroad.</a> The interest rate is 18%! Personally I will never do this and that's what I told her. Can anyone tell me how to convince her to immediately withdraw her money? There's even no FDIC insurance!
