Are loan sharks still a thing?

Legit question. Like where can someone with less than great credit get a large ($3000) loan? Does anyone know of any generous lenders? I know a lot of shady legal lenders charge ridiculous interest. Any info would be appreciated.

Eidt: Ok maybe I shouldn't have said loan shark, everyone seems to have a very Hollywood idea of what a loan shark is lol. How about a non-traditional lender? That sounds better.
