MFUK keep callin about loans, its that 02 advert, proper annoying, they've blown up my phone 5 times today.

Had a call from an Indian woman asking about some car crash. I told her I’ve blocked my number and taken it off the list, so any calls like this are just harassment. Told her I’m thinking about taking legal action against her and her employer!

Absolutely fed up with these constant nuisance calls. It’s the same old story every single time! I've already ignored three of them today alone. Eventually, I picked up, only to reiterate that I've requested multiple times for them to remove my information. Honestly, I'm not falling for their dodgy schemes. What’s really puzzling is who on earth is handing over our personal information to these muppets? That's the question I'd like an answer to!

Don't ever share your info with these scammers, they just use it to nick your identity. I've heard about similar scams in the US where people pretending to be from India with super English names ring up saying you owe the IRS loads and will get arrested if you don't pay up. They con naive folks into handing over money through iTunes gift cards and Western Union. Have a look on YouTube for 'IRS scammers' to see how it works. Looks like they're starting the same trick here in the UK now, stealing people's details.

I applied for a loan and was first told I was approved, then two different people said I needed to take out a phone contract with their sim. Still no sign of the loan and they’ve got all my info now.

I received a call from mfu UK regarding a loan, but then they switched topics and tried to sell me life insurance. Since that conversation, I haven't received any further communication from them.

Called me like six times today sayin I could get a contract sim and they’d pay me straight away, total rubbish calls if you ask me.

It’s astonishing how often these con artists operate without consequence! Every day, they’re at it, trying to pull a fast one. I’ve figured out their little game; when I answer their calls, I lead them on, making them believe they’re winning me over. It’s all quite amusing, really. They fancy themselves as salespeople, when in fact, they’re nothing more than what I’d label... VULTURES! Absolutely dreadful at what they do!

Got a call today from 01312854709 saying i’d requested a loan and they could sort it today. When i asked who they were, they said mfuk. I said i’d look them up online and they just hung up on me.

I received a text regarding a loan which requested my income info, alongside inquiries about whether my gas and electric bills were settled. Following that, they transferred me to another individual who informed me that I needed to consult with a utility switching representative and complete the switch before they could assist with my loan. I've now moved to a different provider and managed to save quite a bit of cash in the process. They gave me a load of reference numbers and contact details, but then, for some reason, the call just cut off. I’ve checked my emails and indeed received the contracts from the new supplier. However, when I attempt to ring the 0161 number, there’s no dial tone at all. It’s all a bit puzzling!

I received a call from this number purporting to represent a loan firm, but they didn’t provide any specifics. I decided to search for the name online, and it turns out they’re an American lending company located in Illinois. Just a heads-up, they definitely do NOT have any offices here in the UK, so be cautious!

I received a call from this number earlier today and, foolishly, I shared my account details with them. As soon as I hung up, I started feeling uneasy about it. I’ve got my payday coming up tomorrow, and I can’t shake off the worry that they might access my wages. Honestly, it’s got me feeling really down.

Seems like theyre onto loans now, be careful. They said I could get a £5000 loan with hardly any checks but then wanted £220 upfront for the first month before giving any loan.

It seems to be the same lot using different numbers to pester me about a loan. They’re calling every 5 to 10 minutes, and if I don’t pick up, they hang up. What a bunch of low-life con artists! They’re clearly in the know about their dodgy dealings and all speak in a thick Indian accent. They ought to be tracked down and face the consequences of their actions! It's outrageous how they're just trying to line their own pockets with demands for upfront payments while providing nothing in return. It’s high time we got rid of these pests! I'm starting to wish they’d just pack their bags and return home, maybe then they’d understand the pain they’re causing us decent English folk. This whole scam operation is absolutely infuriating!

This number keeps calling and texting me lots throughout the day. They say they are from some loan company called SWW, saying they do no credit checks, no fees, and same day payments. I haven’t talked to them yet 'cause I just don’t trust it.

Got a call from MFUK claiming O2 told them to ring me, but when I called them out on their lie, they turned nasty and started swearing. So, I gave it right back to em. Funny thing is, they were the ones to hang up first, coward!

Had the exact same thing happen today, got three missed calls from a private number. I picked up the fourth time and told them I wasn’t interested and they just hung up on me. Then had another two calls after that, answered on the sixth try and yeah, they hung up on me AGAIN while I was talking. People can be so rude sometimes. Does anyone know who they actually are?

MFUK called me like 4 times in one day then sent a txt saying to call same number back and say 161 to sort out my smartphone. I’m not falling for it, my phone’s only a couple months old. This lot are just scammers trying to trick ya. Be careful, don’t respond to them!

I highly recommend steering clear of this number! It's rather dodgy, claiming to 'finalise' your new mobile device (and they can't even spell properly!). They use the name 'mfuk', so just avoid giving them a ring! Make sure to erase that message at once!

I recently encountered a rather dubious operation named MFUK, which has been misleadingly asserting that my personal details were supplied by my network provider. The curious thing is, I use a pay-as-you-go mobile that’s not linked to any registration, meaning my network provider wouldn’t have a clue who I am or where I live. Yet, this company somehow possessed all my information, including my name and address. They were excessively aggressive in their attempts to extract my debit and credit card details to supposedly ‘secure’ a phone. After doing a bit of digging online, I stumbled upon a business called Mobile Finder UK. It turns out they charge a staggering £100 to assist in obtaining a contract that supposedly includes a free smartphone. Quite the racket, if you ask me!

Got a text from MFUK saying I had to call them about an upgrade I never asked for. I'm sick of these lot. When you ask them to take your number off their list, they just switch to texting instead. Honestly, don’t fall for it, folks.

Some idiot rang me saying my upgrade was ready and claimed they worked for my O2 provider. I just laughed and told them I’m not even with O2, and they should quit ringing me (got four missed calls from them in one day). They got a bit cheeky before hanging up.

Blimey! Just to wrap things up (you know, with a 'z'), could we sort out the delivery for the new smartphone? Reference number 161, if you could. Cheers!
