2 yearsIt was just a tune, nothing more - an old song, I think it was about falling down or getting back up. Not great at remembering titles though 👎7 yearsMFUK keep callin about loans, its that 02 advert, proper annoying, they've blown up my phone 5 times today.7 yearsHad 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!8 yearsIm fed up with these lot ringing me all the time. Today they called like 4 times and i kept ignoring em till i just picked up and told em ive told em loads of times to erase my info. I dont want any part of their dodgy scheme. Honestly, who’s selling our info to these people? That’s the real question.8 yearsDon'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.StatesWestern UnionYouTubeUK9 yearsI 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.9 yearsGot a call from mfu uk about getting a loan, then they switched me over to talk about life insurance. Haven’t heard a peep from them after that.UK9 yearsIf these scammers ring me once more, I’m honestly going to report them to the police. They keep calling non-stop from different numbers all day long. Proper nuisance it is!!!9 yearsCalled 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.9 yearsEveryday they’re trying to scam folks and nothing ever gets done, it’s crazy. I just play along, act like I’m interested so they think they’re gonna close a deal, then I hit them with the truth. Honestly, these so called salespeople are the worst, nothing but leeches in my book... absolute BLOODSUCKERS!9 yearsGot 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.10 yearsI got a message about a loan, they wanted info about my income and asked if I’d paid my gas and electric bills. Then they passed me to someone else who said I needed to chat with a utility switching advisor. Apparently, if I switched suppliers, they’d cover my loan. I did switch and ended up saving quite a bit. They gave me lots of reference numbers and contact details, but then the call just cut off. I’ve got the contracts from the new supplier in my email, but whenever I try calling the 0161 number, there’s no dial tone or anything at all. Bit weird really.10 yearsI’m getting loads of calls and texts every single day!! Always about loans, ‘No fees,’ ‘Call ASAP.’ It’s so annoying!! They really need to just quit it!!!11 yearsJust got a call from this number saying they were some sort of loan company, but they didn’t share any proper info. Looked them up and found out they’re actually an American loan firm from Illinois. Heads up, they definitely don’t have any offices or branches here in the UK! Would be careful with them.IllinoisNOTUK11 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today, and I ended up telling them my sort code and account number. After I hung up, I started feeling uneasy about it. My pay’s due tomorrow now I’m worried they might try to withdraw money straight from my wages. I’m really anxious about it all.11 yearsSeems 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.11 yearsThese numbers 0161491500 and 01614649290 keep ringing constantly, all about some loan offers. They call every few minutes, and if I don’t pick up, they just hang up. It's obvious they're scammers, all talking in Indian accents, trying to trick people into paying upfront fees for nothing in return. These lot are just after their own gain and should be stopped. Honestly, they don’t deserve to be here scamming honest folks - should be found and face the consequences for all the grief they cause. I wish we could get rid of these lot for good and send them back to where they came from. Such scumbags, causing nothing but trouble for us decent people. Bloody scammers!11 yearsThis 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.SWW11 yearsGot 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!MFUK11 yearsSomebody called me, sounded way too good to be true. I can't find any info on them and there's no number to call back? Can anyone help or give me some advice please?11 yearsHey, a company withdrew £45 from my bank last week. I think I signed up with them a couple of months ago but I’m not sure. Does anyone know how I can get my money back?11 yearsSomebody keeps messaging me saying my phone upgrade is ready, they mentioned something about 161, but I can’t find any website for this lot??? I’m just gonna ignore it cos it smells like a scam to me.11 yearsTheyve been trying to take money and have already taken 45 quid. Its going to get looked into now. My name is Jenna Bates. If I dont get my money back soon, Im gonna have to contact the police. My number is 07804179423.Jenna Bates11 yearsGot 3 texts from MFUK today. Two were telling me to ring their number for some upgrade, and the last one wanted me to quote 161. I never asked for any upgrade and ain’t gonna bother calling them.MFUK11 yearsHad 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?12 yearsMFUK 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!MFUK12 yearsI 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!12 yearsI got a call from some lot called MFUK, saying they got my info from my phone network. Thing is, my phone's just a pay-as-you-go one and isn't even registered, so my network wouldn't have any of my personal details like my name or address. Somehow, this company had all that though. They kept pushing me hard to give them my card details to “secure” the phone. When I looked it up online, I found a business called Mobile Finder UK that apparently charges as much as £100 to help folks lock in contracts with “free” phones. Very dodgy sounding if you ask me.MFUKMobile Finder UK12 yearsSame here, got a text saying I gotta ring them to finish off an upgrade after a call yesterday. They claim to be from O2.O212 yearsI never asked for any upgrade with them but they keep pushing the same offer to change my phone. Really annoying!12 yearsGot 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.MFUK12 yearsI just had a call from MFUK, they said they’re ringing because I never replied to a text they sent earlier today. They were trying to get me to sign up for a new contract, claiming my current network told them to get in touch.MFUK12 yearsSome 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.12 yearsGot a message that said “Hello, pls call MFUK on 01614649290 to complete your upgrade n set up delivery for your new phone. Quote 161.” Just ignored it tho.MFUK12 yearsGot a call from MFUK saying they wanted to switch my pay as you go to a contract, claiming they were ringing from my network provider. When I declined, they got really rude.MFUK12 yearsBlimey! 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.
