10 yearsI recently received a call from someone named 'John' at Smartloans! He mentioned that my loan application had been approved, but then he went on to ask me to transfer £395 to my nearest Halifax branch! Quite suspicious, if you ask me!JohnSmartloansHalifax10 yearsIt’s possible that the message regarding the loan was sent by a chap named Jon Smith from Smartloans.Jon SmithSmartloans10 yearsWe received a call from a chap proposing a loan of £15,000 at £190 a week, with an interest rate of 7.9% over a decade. The bloke who contacted us, a certain Jon, asked us to send a deposit of £190 via Western Union, which ended up costing us £198.90 in total. He assured us that the funds would be available in an hour’s time. Initially, we were given a name to send the money to, Mr Matlob Matlob, but later we were instructed to change it to Tarik Tarik. The address provided was in New Delhi, India.JonWestern UnionMatlob MatlobTarik TarikNew DelhiIndia10 yearsGreetings to all. We received a call from an individual named Jon Rawnsley, affiliated with Smart Loans. The request was quite dubious-£105 was sought for a loan of £1,000, and they insisted the funds be transferred to bank account 11-00-3800282532 at Halifax. This raised significant red flags for us, and we strongly advise others to remain vigilant against potential scams. Thankfully, we managed to avoid handing over any money. Stay safe!Jon RawnsleySmart LoansHalifax10 yearsEarlier today, I received a call from a chap named Jon Smith, representing Smart Loans. I transferred £100 into an HSBC account on their behalf, but regrettably, we've not received anything in return. We've taken the matter up with the police and provided them with all the banking information we have. Fingers crossed, we can put an end to this and manage to reclaim our funds.Jon SmithSmart LoansHSBC11 yearsMy spouse and I received a call from the number 01617680098, and the chap on the other end claimed to be Jon Rawnsley. He had a distinctly foreign accent, possibly Asian, and seemed rather dodgy. He didn’t provide any informative details when we asked questions, which felt quite dubious. I’m grateful to those who contributed on this platform for confirming our suspicions!Jon Rawnsley11 yearsI seem to have fallen victim to a scam.11 yearsWe genuinely want to express our sincerest apologies for any confusion stemming from our previous message. We've successfully secured our loan, but it seems we mistakenly referenced the wrong lending company. We truly appreciate your understanding. Smart Loans comes highly recommended for loans of any size. Thank you for your patience!11 yearsI've received several calls from a company called Smart Loans, and the individual I've spoken to, Graham Antcliff, mentioned that we could qualify for a £4,000 loan by depositing £105 into a Halifax account. They did send me a loan agreement via email too. However, I'm uncertain whether this is legitimate or not! From what I've gathered from other comments here, it seems like a scam, though I've noticed that one person apparently did receive their loan. It's all a bit baffling, and I’m feeling rather wary, so I’m doing some further inquiries before I decide to go ahead and transfer any funds.Smart LoansGraham AntcliffHalifax12 yearsWe recently received a call from a chap named Jon Smith, who claimed to be with Smart Loans. We transferred £100 into an HSBC account, but unfortunately, we've seen no return on that investment. We've since escalated the matter to the police and provided them with all the necessary banking information. Fingers crossed that this whole affair can be resolved and that we might actually see our money again!Jon SmithSmart LoansHSBC12 yearsI recently received a phone call from someone named Jon at SmartLoans, along with another chap called Eric Thomson. It quickly became apparent that this was nothing but a scam. They asked me to fork out £200 for an initial payment, followed by a hefty £500 for what they claimed were legal expenses. They promised that a total of £10,730 would be hitting my bank account shortly. However, when that money never materialised, I decided to reach out to both of them. To my dismay, they then insisted I needed to pay an additional £300 to cover some tax charges. When I tried to bring up the issue of getting my money back, they conveniently shifted the topic. It’s safe to say I’ve been well and truly conned, and now I'm left with a loss of £700. What a disappointing experience! :-(JonSmartLoansEric Thomson12 yearsHello, it appears we've fallen prey to this scam. The details of the account in question belong to me, and regrettably, we've ended up losing over £700 as a result.12 yearsCheers for all your messages, everyone. We almost fell into the same trap when we hadn't checked the internet about this con artist. Initially, we looked at the site smartloans.com, which didn't appear to be a UK-based site at all. Next, we searched the phone number, which led us here-big thanks to all of you for that! They wanted us to transfer £490 to a Lloyds TSB account held by a bloke named Vinay Muniyappa (account number 309421-14964660) for a loan of £25,000 at a dodgy 7.9% APR. At first, it was a lady named Kiara who called us, but then she handed us over to a chap called Jon Rawnsley.Lloyds TSBVinay MuniyappaKiaraJon Rawnsley12 yearsWe received a call from a chap named Jon Smith, claiming that he could deposit a whopping £10,000 into our bank account within a couple of hours. Naturally, we were a bit dubious and, after some contemplation, decided to explore other loan options that might be a better fit for us.Jon Smith12 yearsI received a call recently from a company claiming to be SmartLoans. The caller mentioned a chap named John and requested that I transfer £200 into an HSBC account. They provided some account details: sort code 403804 and account number 32845962, belonging to someone called Mr Bhuwan Thapa. Thankfully, I had the sense not to send any money their way!JohnHSBCBhuwan Thapa13 yearsHi there! I've reached out to the authorities too, but I'm afraid that our £700 might be a lost cause.Submit Your Own Report (0161 768 0098)
