4 yearsA right bother these people, masquerading as if they're from a company, all in an attempt to pry into your private details.5 yearsWhat a nuisance! Those pesky callers rang me eight times within just one hour! How infuriating!8 yearsI concur; I, too, received a call from this irritating individual.8 yearsI received a call today that was quite similar; just like the ones mentioned above. I decided to give the person who identified themselves as John Parker, an Asian-sounding man, a call back. These individuals are complete scammers and something needs to be done about these despicable people.John Parker8 yearsPlease be aware that this is a scam - do not make any calls.8 yearsI recently received a call from the Clare Williams division at HMRC, and it was the same computerized voice. They were demanding that I call them back immediately or face the repercussions of their lawyers and court. Thank you for bringing up these warnings. I will definitely consider it to be a scam.Clare WilliamsHMRC8 yearsI got a phone call around 4:14pm, and it turned out to be a complete scam.8 yearsI recently received a call from someone named Clare Williams. Be cautious!Clare Williams8 yearsImagine 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.HMRC8 yearsPlease disregard any phone calls claiming to be from HMRC as they are scams.HMRC8 yearsReceived a phone call from this particular number, where the individual claimed to be from HMRC. They inquired about sharing the details of my solicitor as allegedly, I had a significant tax liability. It raises the question as to why law enforcement does not intervene in such cases.HMRC8 yearsI received a call from an automated voice saying it was from HMRC, urging me to contact them without delay or risk suffering the consequences.HMRC8 yearsI received a voicemail from a certain number requesting a call back, stating that the caller's name is Clare Williams and they are purportedly from HMRC.Clare WilliamsHMRC8 yearsI need to mention that I am liable for taxes exceeding £20,000.8 yearsI recently received a call from someone who identified themselves as Claire Williams from HMRC's division. According to the caller, I have outstanding income tax amounting to £4000.Claire WilliamsHMRC11 yearsThis number is still active and posing as a Naswnwild bank, soliciting funds from unsuspecting individuals. I've reported them to the UK authorities, yet they continue their operations without any repercussions.NaswnwildUK11 yearsI went ahead and processed the payments via Western Union, both transactions were directed to India. The initial transfer was made to someone named Ched Evans, followed by a second one meant for George Bennett, who had contacted me regarding loans.Western UnionIndiaChed EvansGeorge Bennett11 yearsIs there a means to ascertain whether any action is being taken against these individuals - the caller identified as Loans for You?11 yearsI 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.Britt FinanceFacebook11 yearsI 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: 0208-144-8064Western UnionIndiaFirst Decision LoansUKMinistry of JusticeKenneth SpencerDennisCaller11 yearsHas anyone else reached out to the UK fraud prevention authorities regarding these callers? It's crucial that we put a stop to them - the call was from 'Loans for You'.UK11 yearsIndeed, I have, Bob!Bob11 yearsEvery day, these scammers continue to deceive unsuspecting individuals using the same telephone line. It is important to be aware and cautious as they try to perpetrate their fraudulent acts. Please visit the secure website http://actionfraud.police.uk/news/alert-fraudsters-are-once-again-using-the-action-fraud-name-to-scam-people-aug15 for more information.11 yearsI 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 826011 yearsI'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 YouLoanflex11 yearsOn 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.PakistanIndia11 yearsMy cousin had nearly £500 taken from him by these individuals, all of whom were Asian and had names such as Ian Parker, Carlos, and Lukas. They were all connected to a loan company called LoansToYou. It's apparent that this company, in reality, is a scam. My cousin is determined to pursue legal action against them.Ian ParkerCarlosLukasLoansToYou11 yearsI foolishly fell for the scam myself and ended up losing £340. The person on the phone was identified as Roderick Braga. I've gone ahead and reported this to UK Fraud Action and now I have a crime reference number. I strongly encourage everyone to take similar action - the caller was from "Loans for You".Roderick BragaUK Fraud Action11 yearsI’ve been trying to track down who’s behind the number 0161 818 8260, and it turns out I’ve stumbled upon an address linked to them: Loans To You, 126-150 Washway Road, Sale, Cheshire, M33 6AG. From what I gather, they seem to have origins in either Pakistan or Northern India, and they’re really quite pushy in their tactics. We must do what we can to protect others from falling prey to these shady characters! - Caller: LOANS TO YOUWashway RoadSaleCheshirePakistanNorthern India11 yearsHello 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: CashflexRobert DunnRoderick BragaCallerCashflex11 yearsI learned a tough lesson and ended up losing £175. It's unfortunate and I'm disappointed.11 yearsYou're absolutely right, these individuals who are involved in fraudulent activities have originated from Asia and are now operating here. Can the police track their phone number and location? It is crucial to take the necessary steps to have these scammers deported.Asia11 yearsHello 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!11 yearsI 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!Lloyd ' sHSBCUK11 yearsHello there, I'm afraid you're unlikely to see a return on your funds, unfortunately! I've been in a similar predicament myself, and it’s quite disheartening. 😞11 yearsAlex and Davey, I've also been duped out of £150! What's the plan to put an end to these con artists? We must act to protect others; money’s already vanished. I suspect the majority, around 90%, are Indian fraudsters! They’ve been operating with numbers like 0161 818 8260 (which appears to be from Manchester), 0330 977 0401, and 0151 528 9311. Their email addresses include [email protected]. We ought to look into this via a domain registration platform. It’s crucial we do our bit to shield the vulnerable members of our society. - caller: LOANS TO YOUAlexDaveyManchester11 yearsHello there! I completely concur with your thoughts-I suspect there’s definitely some money laundering going on with these dodgy characters. Has anyone thought about reaching out to the UK fraud reporting hotline? It’s a quick process; shouldn’t take more than twenty minutes! The more instances they get wind of regarding these scammers, the better off we all are. Just received a call from "Loans to You"-sounds quite suspicious, doesn’t it?UK11 yearsI 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. Who knows what they're doing with all the money they've taken? - Caller: Cashflex!Action FraudDVLACashflex11 yearsNo, I certainly didn’t provide any sort of identification to them, and honestly, I shouldn’t be overly concerned about being implicated in money laundering. I reached out to the authorities this afternoon, and the officer assured me that we're merely innocent victims caught up in a fraudulent scheme. It was a call from “Loans to You.”11 yearsRoderick 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.Roderick BragaLoans Factor11 yearsYesterday, 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 BragaLoans Factors and Brit FinanceRoderick BragaIndia11 yearsI may not have succeeded in identifying them, but I was certainly trying, albeit they communicated in quite appalling terms. It appears they aren't based in the UK at all. - Caller: SCAMUK11 yearsI 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.Western UnionRobert DunnMike StevensK. HigginsNatWestCaller11 yearsI recently received a dodgy call from some scammers who tried to persuade me to transfer my deposit to a place they referred to as Loans to You, using Sortcode 77-30-07 and Account number 20397568. They also mentioned another account tied to T ADESUYI, with Sortcode 62-30-53 and account number 03062845. Now, I’m quite worried and would love to know if there's a way to retrieve my hard-earned cash. Does anyone have any advice on this? - caller: LOANS TO YOUADESUYISubmit Your Own Report (0161 818 8260)
