The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) has received information that Sanjeev Kumar is fraudulently marketing himself through social media as a Senior Loan Officer under NMLS# 314126. In fact, the NMLS unique identifier belongs to another legitimate DFPI licensed Mortgage Loan Originator. Sanjeev Kumar uses a Facebook profile under the name “Sanjeev Kumar” and corresponds with consumers via email: sanjeevkumarfinancehome@gmail.com. Kumar also claims he is associated with the website https://www.sanjeevkumarsons.com and is based at 23 West 127^th Street, Apartment 2, New York 10027.

The DFPI urges consumers to exercise extreme caution before responding to any solicitation offering financial services or investments. To check whether a financial service provider is licensed in California, consumers may contact the Department for questions or inquiries at ask.dfpi@dfpi.ca.gov or call toll-free at (866) 275-2677. If a consumer believes a person or company has violated state law or acted improperly regarding a consumer financial product or service, they may file a formal complaint with the DFPI at dfpi.ca.gov/file-a-complaint/.
