Just as I was going through the comments, that exact number just called me. I asked them for their VAT number but they refused to give it. Some UK L person supposedly told them to cancel an application of mine, which is total rubbish!

They said they were RD UK, which is supposed to be a proper payday loan firm, based on a loan application I supposedly did. They tried hard to sound legit but kinda bailed when I started asking straight up questions.

A woman rang me up saying I requested a £2500 loan and asked for my personal details. She already had my full name and mobile, but when I asked for her address, she wouldn’t tell me, saying she couldn’t share that until I gave her my info.

?0116 298 9336? BEWARE!! This is an Indian call centre scam!! They claimed to be UK L Loans. I asked to check online and told them "there's no company called U.K. Loans, what’s your VAT number?”. They dodged it and said they couldn’t give it. EVERY LEGIT UK BUSINESS HAS THEIR VAT NUMBER ONLINE - USE THIS TO TRAP THESE SCAMMERS! Keep pushing these questions on these scammers!

Some bloke called me up trying to sell me a loan. He sounded Indian and I struggled to catch most of what he was saying. He kept throwing odd questions my way that didn’t make much sense, and I’m pretty sure he was just reading off a script. I asked him straight if it was a scam and he just cut the call right away!!

This outfit goes by the name UK-L, supposedly a lending firm, but I’ve never encountered them before nor have I ever sought out a loan. They've also got another contact number-01315818580. I've reported both of these numbers and made sure to block them. Truly baffling!

Got a call from a company called uk-+ or something, they said they were a loan provider, but never heard of them before and defiantly never asked for a loan. They tried ringing from another number as well, 01315818580. Ive reported both and added them to my block list.

I've been receiving calls from this outfit known as UK-L, which seems to be some sort of lending firm. Oddly enough, I've never sought a loan nor have I any dealings with them. They’ve got another contact number as well, which is 01315818580. I've gone ahead and reported both numbers and added them to my block list.
