Their business model is based around convincing wealthy Westerners to lend them money interest-free, puportedly as a loan to a specific individual in a third world country, then actually handing that money over to a partner who uses it to make loans at substantial interest rates to whoever they consider profitable. Some of the loan companies have really unpleasant collection tactics too.)
