They called me claiming I’d been given the go-ahead for a £1000 loan, but first I had to send £120 to them before they’d send the money. Honestly, do they think I’m daft? I asked what the loan was for and said I wanted a proper Christmas booze up, and they just said that was alright! What a load of tossers. No self-respecting loan firm would give you money just to get drunk. Don’t give these clowns a single penny! Caller ID was 0151 528 3960.

I’m proper upset, got done out of over £300 by this number and they kept pushing for even more. Can’t believe how daft I was. Christmas’s totally messed up now, and to top it off, they’ve got my bank details and address. Just unbelievable!! - caller: 0151 528 9906

Got a call from 0151 528 3089 today. When I looked up the number, I decided not to continue talking to them. Then out of nowhere, they started using racist insults and even threatened me on the phone. Honestly, this business is pure trouble. Avoid them at all costs!

BEWARE - My partner and I received a call from a loan agency that sounded way too good to be true. We were low on cash and decided to hear them out, so I grilled the guy with loads of questions. First, he insisted we transfer £80, then suddenly it jumped to £145, and next thing he’s telling us to pop down to the post office with £200 cash for him! That was the final straw. When we refused, the bloke got quite nasty and started making threats over the phone. Has anyone else been caught in this? Any tips on getting your money back would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers for this info. Some guy called Philip Morgan, sounded Asian and his English was all over the place, just called me trying to pitch a £2000 loan if I paid £120 upfront. Told him to wait for a callback, but he’ll be waiting for ages!

Avoid dealing with this company, it’s a complete rip-off. They claimed I was approved for a loan but first demanded £80 upfront, which I paid. After that, they sent £550 to my bank, but I had to send it back in two parts through Western Union, which I did. They promised the loan would arrive within 10 minutes after that. Then out of nowhere, they rang again saying I needed to pay another £90 from my own pocket, which I declined. They got really rude and told me not to call back if I wasn’t willing to pay, then just cut me off. Whenever I try to ring them now and tell them my name, they just hang up straight away. - Caller: Reena

So today I applied for a loan and got a call from 0151 528 6879. They offered me £500, which I said yes to straight away since I really needed it after an unexpected bill wiped out £200 from my account. They asked for a couple of bank statements and a passport copy, which I sent over to [email protected] during the call when he told me to email it. He said he’d check everything and it’d take about 20 minutes. I thought it sounded legit because when I said I’d wait, he joked about having other customers and not being able to hang on that long - sounded like a normal sales script to me. Anyway, after hanging up I decided to google the number and found this thread revealing it as a scam. I called back but got no answer. Later, when I was at work, they called me about 22 times and finally I answered. I told them I know they’re a scam, and the guy swore at me and started threatening me, saying stuff like “I know where you live” and accusing me of trying to steal money from a business. I had a mate who’s a lawyer listen in because the threats were mental. When I called them out, he just dropped the f-bombs and hung up. Honestly guys, if you’ve already sent your info, you’re probably screwed but if you haven’t - DO NOT send them anything or give out your details. No matter how desperate you are, these people aren’t legitimate loan providers. The company name might change but always check the number on Google before answering. I’d recommend reporting them to the police and FCA. If you need a loan, try SafetyNet Credit - I got cash from them in under an hour despite bad credit. Stay safe out there!

On Friday, I got a call about a loan I supposedly applied for. First, they told me I needed to pay £128 upfront for a few months so I wouldn't have to start repayments until November. Then it changed to an extra £209 for a credit check. After I paid that, they promised the loan would be with me in half an hour. An hour later and no money, so I called back, but kept getting hung up on. Then suddenly they said I had to pay another £200 before the loan could be released. I refused and was told I couldn’t cancel and that if I didn’t pay up, I wouldn’t get anything back. I spoke to my bank who confirmed this was a scam. They said the people I spoke to were called Logan, Alex Carter, and Robyn. When my partner tried calling to sort it out, they were told nobody by those names worked there. After a chat with a supposed manager who sounded exactly like the previous person, we were told the money would be refunded in the hour, but nothing has appeared. When my mum threatened to report them to the police and trading standards, they just replied, “Do what you want, you’re not threatening me,” even though no threats were made. I’m just 19 and honestly feel so stupid for falling for this. They’re calling themselves "Everyday Loans" but are actually "Best Loans Direct," and their website is in a foreign language. It’s heartbreaking to have gone through this and I really hope no one else gets caught up in their trap. I’m definitely reporting them to the police. Hopefully, they’ll be stopped soon! The number they used was 0151 528 9625.

I filled out an online loan application and was contacted the very next day by UK Same Day Loans. They told me my loan for £3000 was approved, but I had to pay £285 upfront, promising the next instalment would be free. Something didn’t feel right, so I said I couldn’t pay until the following day. The caller then told me I didn’t really need the loan as money was coming my way, and quickly started being quite rude when I hesitated and refused to send over my ID. I decided to cancel the loan, suspecting it was a scam, and to my shock he claimed there was a £500 cancellation fee that would be taken from my account within 30 seconds! When I asked to speak to the manager, he was even nastier. I warned them I’d get in touch with my bank to alert them, but they just said there was nothing they could do as the money was being taken instantly. Just a heads up to everyone about UK Same Day Loans - the guy I spoke to was called Andrew, and his manager was Mike Stevens. They’re apparently from Sri Lanka and try to look legit by giving you reference and loan account numbers. Caller number was 01515285413. Watch out!

So, this number called me saying I'm involved in some dodgy stuff on my PC. Honestly, it's ridiculous how these scammers seem to be getting more clueless as time goes on. - caller ID showed: Secret Agency

I'm really annoyed and don’t even feel like going into details but these people have caused me so much hassle with their lies and tricks. They preyed on me when I was desperate and had nowhere else to go, conning me out of my last bit of cash without actually sending anything through. It did seem too good to be true, but when you’re in that position, you just go along with it. Be careful of Jordan from Samedayloans, phone number 0151 528 4116. Don’t let these scammers get away with it! Caller ID: 0151 528 4116.

I’m so relieved I trusted my instincts and decided to check this number first. From the get-go, something felt off, so I asked them quite a few questions, but they kept messing up and couldn’t give clear answers. I was really in need of a loan, so I almost ignored the warning signs. Luckily, when I tried to transfer the money, my online banking prompted me to use a card reader, which made me suspicious and stopped the transfer. They rang me back to ask if I’d sent the cash, and I told them flat out I knew what they were up to and would be contacting the police. They just hung up. If anyone comes across this, take my word for it and the other comments - these people are total scam artists. Number was 0151 5284713. Stay safe out there!

Hey everyone, so I got roped into a £600 loan from some company I’m not even sure is legit. They first asked me to pay £45 upfront before the money would be sent to my account, so I did that. Later, they called back saying I needed to fork out another £80 for a tax fee. At first, I refused but they somehow convinced me to pay else I’d be hit with a £100 fine. After paying a total of £125, I called them again and they told me to go to the bank because they’d transfer £235 into my account, which I’d have to send back to them before they’d release the loan. I agreed, but my bank had already closed for the weekend (it was after 12:30pm on Saturday) and wouldn’t open again until Monday. I tried telling them this, but they just started yelling, threatening to freeze my account and calling the police, even accused me of stealing their money. I’m just stuck waiting until the bank opens now and feeling pressured by their threats! Any ideas on what to do? The caller said his name was Johnson Hall. The number that called me was 0151 528 4713.

Got a call from 0151 528 4713 and it seemed dodgy right away, don't trust it!

I lost £500 to a loan company that said they could help me. When I called back upset, they were really nasty and told me “what are you gonna do about it? Nothing!” I was in tears, it was my Christmas cash and now they’ve blocked my number. Honestly, they’re right, I don’t know what else to do and I’m still feeling awful and tense just thinking about it. - caller: true loans

Got conned out of £140 on the 6th December by some lot calling themselves Best Loans Direct or anther name they keep swapping. This dodgy number 0151 528 9188 keeps popping up with different names - absolute nightmare! They really need to be stopped.

Ended up getting ripped off for £300, totally wrecked my Christmas. No hope of getting the cash back. These heartless people should be banned. How is this number still allowed to operate in the UK?

Got ripped off for £165, had to report it to Action Fraud. What a brilliant Christmas present! The caller said they were from Truloans.

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my experience with this dodgy bloke. I was about to send him some money but thought I’d better double-check the amount first. As soon as I rang, he acted like I’d already paid and started hurling abuse at me. So, I held back on transferring anything. Instead, I reported him to the fraud team. I managed to find the bank details he gave me, called the bank, and they’ve now frozen his account so he can’t touch a penny. Hopefully, this helps some of you get your cash back! The sort code he gave was 404202 - that’s HSBC in Sidmouth, Devon - and the account number was 31542699. Make sure you contact the police, give them all your info and mention that the account’s been locked. Maybe the bank can help recover your money too. Stay safe! Caller ID: 01515283375.

Just got ripped off by True Loan for £260! Seriously, don't pick up if they ring you!

Absolute cheats, this bloke Roderick Braga rang me up claiming he could sort a £2000 loan for me if I just handed over £151 as a 'first month’s fee'. Lucky for me, I checked the number online before sending any money. Honestly, these scoundrels deserve to be behind bars.

These lot are a joke. They told me I'd got a loan approved but needed to send them £80 upfront. I said I didn’t have anything to pay, so they actually sent me £80 first and then asked me to send it back via Western Union. I did that, then they rang again saying my loan was good to go but I had to pay £90 tax, so I ended up borrowing the cash and sent it again through Western Union. They promised the loan would come through in 5 minutes, but nothing ever showed. Now they won’t pick up and just keep saying the line’s busy. Been trying all weekend and this morning, still no answer. What am I supposed to do? - caller: True loans

These lot seriously swindled me. They’re meant to pay me £200 but keep dodging it and won’t return what’s due. Absolutely rubbish!

I asked if John Gibson was there and when I said no one by that name lives here, the person on the phone just cussed me out.

Just got done getting ripped off by TRUE LOANS, lost £115 to their scam. Proper ruining Christmas for us this year. Definitely gonna report them and make sure others know not to fall for it. What a nightmare!
