Greetings! I've just received a rather curious call concerning a loan - rather suspicious, if I'm honest. They're requesting a MoneyGram of £55 made out to a certain S. Huary, based in New Delhi, India, as he claims to be the director of their company. They also mentioned a solicitor named Jon, who would be in touch to collect the payment receipt and provide loan documents for signing. It all sounded surprisingly credible, particularly since they rang both my home and mobile numbers this morning. The way they spoke was quite rapid, and they seemed quick to answer my inquiries. They mentioned engaging with Indian services due to lower labour costs, similar to how BT operates. Quite a strange experience indeed!

Be wary of this company claiming to provide inexpensive loans under the guise of Cash 1 Finance. We've already flagged their suspicious activities with the police. If you've had any interactions with them, I urge you to reach out to the authorities as they're looking into this matter. Stay safe and don’t get caught in their trap!

Greetings! We recently received a call from a company that seems to be operating under the guise of a 24-hour finance service. They've been quite persistent, asking us to send a £55 MoneyGram and have promised to contact us later to organise a drop-off for the cash. Curious, we decided to look up the number online and were met with a slew of warnings from others who've encountered the same dodgy outfit. Following your advice, we went ahead and called the fraudulent number listed here to report them. Cheers for the heads-up!

It appears that a number of individuals are consistently using a 016... number. You might want to have a gander at them on this site; it could be quite enlightening.

Earlier today, we received a call regarding a £3000 loan as we're looking to launch a new business. We haven’t handed over any cash yet, and the company, 24 Hour Finance, assured us they’d be in touch again around 10 am. However, after coming across some reviews online, I've decided to steer clear of them. How on earth do they manage to operate like this?

Hi there! We recently received a call from a company that appears to have a similar name. They are now referring to themselves as a 24-hour finance service. They've asked us to send a £55 MoneyGram and mentioned they would ring us back later today to send someone to collect the cash! I decided to look up their number online and was shocked to find all the warnings and experiences shared by others. Following your advice, we’ve also called the scam number listed and reported them accordingly.

Cheers for supplying the address! It feels like I’m about to head over to the firm to reclaim our dosh, which is brilliant. This info is just what we needed, and now we’ll be passing it on to the local constabulary. Just curious, has anyone seen these chaps online before? Did they provide you with this address, as it seems a bit dodgy, if you catch my drift! Fingers crossed it’s legitimate, as the plod would surely be interested!

We received a call from this number asking us to send £65 via MoneyGram to India as part of a £2000 loan arrangement. They claimed to be affiliated with something called Shakespeare Finance, which made us quite suspicious.

I can confirm that this outfit is nothing but a scam. The address they provided over the phone matched what was listed on their website. Earlier today, we got in touch with the company at that location-only to be told that these individuals haven’t facilitated loans in several years and have actually asked for their address to be removed from the site. Moreover, I was told just the other day that the website was undergoing renovations, as they’re now supposedly offering secured loans. When I enquired about the length of time they've been operating, the reply was a mere seven years. This hardly inspires confidence for a so-called "reputable" business. It’s best to steer clear of them entirely.

I hope someone can assist me! I've come across this ring priced at 55, but I'm feeling rather dubious about it - could it possibly be a scam? I'm curious if anyone here has taken the plunge and purchased it. Did you manage to secure a loan from them shortly after sending the payment? I’d really appreciate any insights you could offer as soon as possible. Cheers!

Absolutely, we had a rather unpleasant encounter with this company that attempted to peddle a loan over the phone. The chap who called was of Asian descent and spoke at a million miles an hour. We handed the phone to my wife, and I firmly declined their offer. Since then, we've received a couple more calls from the same person, who has now resorted to shouting at us, demanding we stop wasting his time. It’s quite frankly infuriating and has left us a bit rattled. It was certainly not a pleasant experience at all. They reached out to us initially, under the name 24 Hour Finance.

Steer clear of giving them a single penny! This is the latest scam involving loans making the rounds. Trust me, you won’t secure the loan, and your £55 will be as good as vanished. There are a whole host of these swindlers out there right now. Just avoid them like the plague! Always remember, never fork out cash in advance with the hope of securing a loan. I hope this advice proves useful!

Yesterday, we received a phone call from these folks claiming we could secure a £1,000 loan that would be deposited into our account within the hour. However, later on, we got another call demanding that we pay £55 up front for a week! When we confronted them and called them out as money-grabbing scammers, they hung up on us! Honestly, what a farce! It's laughable how ridiculous they are.

Hi there! We wrapped everything up this morning with a payment of £185 via MoneyGram. Then, out of the blue, they requested an additional £149.99 from us. It’s left us feeling completely bamboozled!

Is there anyone out there who has transferred funds through MoneyGram to individuals in India, specifically to Alice Wanjabhim Singh or Ankit Mishram? If so, could you kindly get in touch? You can reach us at [email protected]. We’d greatly appreciate any details you can provide, as we are compiling information to pass along to Action Scam for their investigation into these persons. It’s worth mentioning that this loan company operates under various guises, such as Shakespeare Finance and Cash 1 Finance, among others. Your assistance could be invaluable!

Greetings! I'm still getting an incessant number of calls from this lot - it’s reached the point where both my mobile and home phone have been bombarded with over 50 calls. We’re even considering replacing our phones at this rate! Each time our kids answer, the callers have the audacity to ask where we are, and when they do manage to get hold of us, they don’t leave a number. I strongly urge everyone to steer clear of these folks; their promises don't align with the reality at all. It's beyond frustrating!

We’ve just received another call from this number, 003390300. My partner answered and the moment he started asking a few questions about whether this was a scam, they promptly hung up. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!
