This number rang me earlier. I picked up but kept quiet, wanting them to say who they were straight away. Instead of introducing themselves, the bloke on the other end just shouted, “Are you deaf, idiot?” Proper rude! Made me laugh though 😂😂

Got a call asking if I’d recently taken out a loan, then the line just went dead. Definitely a dodgy scam.

I got a call from some bloke who told me I'd put in a loan application. I told him I hadn’t, but he kept going on about how they had my info. I said I had no idea where they got it from, but then he told me they’d start taking payments from my bank every month for three months. Felt a bit dodgy to me.

I just had this bloke ring me up claiming he's from my bank. He told me to call back on a certain number so he could give me a six-digit code to sort out some loan money going into my account. Felt a bit dodgy if I’m honest.

Got a call claiming to be from some loan company, asking for loads of my info and even wanted me to send a security deposit straight into a personal bank account, not a proper business one. Seems like these scammers are actually on the radar of the BBC, and I heard they're gonna be on Scam Interceptors on BBC1 soon. Proper dodgy stuff!

They asked for my bank info and said I could get a £3,000 loan, but I’d have to pay back £3,600. Then, out of the blue, they wanted me to send £75 as some kind of ‘insurance’ fee. Seemed fishy to me!

These Scorpion Loans people were after £110, saying they’d chuck £1000 in my bank if I paid up with a Paysafe card. Took 'em for a right spin, built up their hopes and then gave 'em the slip. Proper made my day, that did! Lol.

I got a call from 01618182196 claiming to be Light Loans, offering me a grand. They asked for some personal info, but thank goodness I kept my card details to myself. Then they said I had to pay £30 upfront before anything would go into my account. I immediately hung up and later dropped them an email asking to remove all my info from their system. Proper dodgy if you ask me.

Got a call from 01618182196 offering me a £1000 loan for just £1200 to repay. They said I had to send £30 upfront via a Ukash voucher, which sounded a bit dodgy to me. Not falling for that one!

Tried to swindle us out of £75, but I’m no fool. Those overseas loan sharks are nothing but trouble-best to avoid them like the plague!
