Has anyone had any luck with this? Our bank appears to be rather indifferent to the situation.

There's not much that can be done at this point // These individuals have swindled you, so don't part with any more of your cash.

We initially forked out £120 between the two of us. Then, out of the blue, they demanded an additional £145 for something called 'hormone'. We still haven’t made that payment.

This phone number appears to be linked to a rather dubious loan company, and I can't recall ever submitting an application for any loan with them. Very strange indeed!

When I demanded a refund from those lowlifes, they insisted that I provide a picture of my passport! It feels like they're attempting to steal my identity too. As if I’d be foolish enough to send them my passport! It’s now been a fortnight and they're still bombarding me with calls. I've heard that the authorities are on their case, and I certainly hope that's true because I'm absolutely livid about the whole situation. If they’re reading this, they’d best be wary because they’ve messed with the wrong person this time. Manchester, here I come!

These individuals are absolute rotters! They've managed to swindle me out of my hard-earned cash by claiming they were offering me a loan. They operate under the aliases Loans 4 U and Loans 4 U UK. Do yourself a favour and steer clear of them - don't part with a single penny!

They were attempting to charge me £135 in order to secure a £3,000 loan. However, the lady at Thomsons advised me against making any payments.
