Imagine hypothetically receiving a phone call purporting to be from HMRC, where the caller claims that they are taking legal action against your husband for the undeclared income tax. Fortunately, as an accountant, I handle my husband's tax returns annually, so I immediately set the record straight. Subsequently, the individual on the other end of the line mentioned that they needed to verify the information before calling me back. What aroused my suspicion was that HMRC generally follows proper security procedures and obtains consent from the taxpayer themselves before discussing their tax matters with anyone else. It was additionally concerning that the individual possessed an Asian accent - that scoundrel.

I just had a chat with them to request a refund. I’m honestly torn between being impressed or furious. When I expressed that I was aware of their scam, demanding my £320 back, their response was simply, “I don't want to.” I reckon it might be a good idea for all of us to dedicate a day to ringing them repeatedly just to squander their time. Oh, and let’s not forget about that other shady operation, Britt Finance, which I’ve reported on Facebook as well - they called themselves Loans for You.

I too have been ensnared by the Western Union loan scam where they demand payment upfront, only to instruct you to send it to India. It’s all quite laughable really-talk of round figures, taxes, and some fabricated portal closure. I initially approached a company called First Decision Loans, who claimed to operate as UK lenders. Since then, I've received dodgy emails purportedly from the Ministry of Justice and voicemail threats suggesting there are warrants issued for my arrest. I’ve taken the matter up with the crime agency, the police, and even filed a SARs report. A solicitor I consulted confirmed that these scammers are as real as a unicorn. My advice? Avoid opening any emails from them, block their numbers, and inform your bank, as there's a high chance your accounts will be locked down. The names I received were Kenneth Spencer and Dennis. I sincerely hope you find this information useful. - Caller: 0208-144-8064

I had a similar experience! They ended up taking £500 from me in total across two payments. First, they promised me that I'd receive it by half seven, then they pushed it to nine this morning, but I've seen no sign of it. I'm really eager to get my cash back :( I'd used my flat deposit as collateral for a loan, reasoning that some of these places accept deposits. So, I thought I'd better look up the number this morning and that's when I stumbled upon this! - caller: 0161 818 8260

I've gathered a veritable treasure trove of info on this bunch! They rang me up last evening asking if I fancied cancelling my loan, but warned there’d be a fee attached! Honestly, I nearly fell off my chair with laughter at that point! I made it abundantly clear that: 1. I’ve got the address for Loans To You, likely linked to Loanflex and their other aliases. 2. They lack a consumer credit licence, which is a bit dodgy if you ask me. 3. Loans To You and Loanflex actually operate as legitimate credit brokers. 4. I’m aware of at least six of the bank accounts they utilise. 5. And I’ve got six different phone numbers for them! They mentioned something about processing a refund for me! Well, we shall see about that. Even if they follow through, I’m still determined to ensure these clowns face the music. - Caller: Loans To You

On the 12th of August, I received a rather dubious call regarding a so-called 'unsecured loan' that could be sorted in half an hour. They insisted that all bank accounts involved were mere innocent bystanders in this dubious scheme, claiming only a handful of individuals had exploited Western funds for their gain. If we could just uncover some details, we might be able to identify their country of origin. I’ve got a strong hunch they’re linked to either Pakistan or the northern regions of India. It’s crucial we protect others from falling into this trap. They’re still continuing to operate under the number 0161 818 8260, changing their names regularly. PLEASE, let's act quickly to safeguard potential victims - the caller went by LOANS TO YOU.

Hello everyone, it's me once more! I decided to ring them up again today, and spoke to a chap called Robert Dunn, who I suspect might actually be Roderick Braga in disguise. He informed me that he couldn't process my loan because it wasn’t a neat figure, which is rather amusing, isn’t it? He suggested upping my loan amount to round it off and then demanded an additional £191 from me! How audacious! I couldn't help myself; I told him I was well aware of their dubious tactics and that they would ultimately face the consequences. It’s crystal clear that they’re pulling the wool over people’s eyes and engaging in what seems like money laundering. They keep telling us to transfer funds into different accounts, which is essentially dragging us into the murky waters of their schemes without our consent. I’m eagerly anticipating the day when they are finally brought to light. Will I see my money again? Probably not, but this experience has certainly opened my eyes to how these operations function, and I shan't fall for such tricks ever again! - Caller: Cashflex

Hello everyone, just wanted to share my experience. I received a call today regarding a loan application, and to my surprise, they requested an upfront payment. The caller had an Indian accent, which raised some red flags for me. I've never been asked to pay anything upfront for a loan before, so I promptly declined their offer. I feel fortunate that I decided to look up the company's name afterwards, as I couldn't find any trace of it online. When I searched the phone number, I stumbled upon this website. I urge you all to be cautious and steer clear of these individuals!

I fell victim to a similar scam, they initially took £175 from me and then had the audacity to ask for another £399. I flatly refused the £399 and suddenly, they deposited £100 into my account, requesting I move it over to a Lloyd's account the following day. Shortly afterwards, they put £139 in my account, urging me to transfer it to an HSBC account. I've reported the matter to the UK fraud team and have all the account numbers handy. I’m planning to notify both Lloyd's and HSBC about the fraudulent activity linked to those accounts!

I fell victim to a very similar con just yesterday. I'm now out a staggering £254, and I'm genuinely worried about my family's wellbeing! I've taken the step of reporting it to the police, Action Fraud, and even contacted my bank's fraud department. From what I've gathered, this doesn't appear to be your average scam; it seems to have links to potential money laundering - which is rather alarming for us! Has anyone else had the misfortune of sending a picture of their driving licence as a means to verify their identity? I'm trying to figure out how to block it, but I can’t seem to locate a contact number or a link for the DVLA anywhere! These despicable individuals need to be caught as swiftly as possible.

Roderick Braga contacts you regarding a loan you applied for and then requests £200 as upfront payment. However, if you pay the amount, you will not receive a refund. This is actually a scam, and unfortunately, I have suffered a monetary loss because of it. Please be wary of individuals of Asian descent who engage in such fraudulent activities. The company they operate under goes by the name "Loans Factor," but they also use various other company names as well.

Yesterday, I received a call regarding a loan I'd inquired about online. I assumed it was a callback from the agency I contacted. The firm was named Loans Factors and Brit Finance, though I’ve stumbled across gossip suggesting they operate under various aliases. When I inquired about the loan amount, I was asked to fork out £200 as an upfront payment for the first month. Quite naively, I agreed, and lo and behold, today they came back asking for another £249! The chap on the line was identified as Roderick Braga. At that point, my instincts kicked in, and I began to doubt the legitimacy of the operation. I swiftly refused and requested my £200 back, which I’m still yet to see. Upon digging further, I discovered countless reviews from others who’ve been duped by this same individual, apparently working with a trio consisting of two men and a woman. I'm utterly ashamed of having been so gullible and losing funds I simply cannot spare. If any company demands upfront money, DO NOT COMPLY! From what I've gathered, these con artists may be operating out of India. Consider yourselves warned; don’t fall victim to their ruse. They’re alarmingly persuasive! I’ve now learned a costly lesson and, frankly, it has deterred me terribly from pursuing loans with anyone in the future. - caller: Roderick Braga

I too received a call today from a firm by the name of cashflex.co.uk, and they appeared incredibly convincing at first. Regrettably, I fell for it, having forked out £70 for an initial payment, then £185 for what they claimed were taxes, followed by an additional £254 in fees. After attempting to reach out to them several times, the bloke I spoke with seemed genuinely sincere, insisting that the funds had yet to land in my account. He then concocted some story about a complication, claiming that the total amount I was meant to receive-including the taxes and fees-would be refunded once the loan was granted. But of course, that loan never came through. In a rather dodgy twist, he mentioned they would be transferring a paltry £300 into my account, which I was then expected to return to them via Western Union. I implore anyone reading this to steer clear of them. The chap I spoke to was named Robert Dunn, alongside another gentleman, Mike Stevens, and a woman going by K. Higgins. They definitely had foreign accents, despite the English-sounding names. It should have been a clear warning when I realised I was sending money to a personal account instead of a business one. They remain blissfully unaware that I've caught on to their ruse, and I've taken the step of alerting my bank, which is now reaching out to NatWest regarding the account they provided. However, I’m not holding my breath for a recovery of my funds. Tomorrow, I'll ring them up again to dig a bit deeper into this supposed loan saga and unearth more details about these individuals. - Caller: cashflex.
