01618189036 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618189036 👆 is reported as associated with a well-documented loan scam targeting vulnerable individuals by offering fake unsecured loans. Callers or emails claim loan approval but demand upfront fees - often via iTunes or paysafe vouchers - before releasing funds. Multiple victims report losing money after paying initial fees and being asked for further payments, with no loan disbursed. The scammers frequently use aggressive, poorly worded communication, fake company names, and cloned firm details to appear legitimate. They request personal and banking information, increasing the risk of identity theft. Authorities like the FCA are aware but enforcement is limited. Victims are advised to avoid sharing details, never pay fees upfront, report incidents to Action Fraud, and be wary of unsolicited loan offers, especially those requiring prepaid vouchers or advance payments.

Got an email earlier from Greenfield Loans saying my £1,000 loan got approved. The email was badly written and included a suspicious word doc that said I have to pay a £25 admin charge upfront. There’s no website for the company either. I never even applied for any loan. Definitely a scam, steer clear!

I noticed some missed calls from 01618189036, but never picked up. Later on, I got an email saying I’d been approved for a £1000 loan and it would be paid into my account once I paid a £25 fee. Luckily, I checked out the company and that number properly before doing anything ?? This is just awful, I really hope whoever’s behind this gets found out. It’s sick how they take advantage of people who’re struggling and desperate just trying to get by.

I got a call from someone named Michael who kept saying the company was legit. I ended up paying £25, but then they emailed me again asking for another £75. I told them I wasn’t going to pay and demanded my £25 back. Feels like they’re targeting people who are vulnerable or struggling. This honestly gave me anxiety attacks. I’m dealing with PTSD and depression, and it’s like they’re taking advantage of that. Really watch out for these sorts of scams.

01618189036 Just got a message asking me to send my sort code and account number so they can transfer money into my account. Has anyone else come across Greenfield Loans Team? They sent something similar saying my application for a £1000 unsecured loan was approved over 24 months with 10% APR and monthly repayments of £47.81. They claimed they’ve been trying to contact me but couldn’t, so now they're asking to sort everything out by email. Feels a bit dodgy asking for bank details like that.

Hi, thanks alot for agreeing to the loan. As per the documents, it says you have to pay £25 for the transfer fees. Once you pay, the money should be with you in about half an hour to 45 minutes. Can you tell us when you can send the payment? Hope to hear back from you soon.

Today I got totally scammed by them, first they took £25 then another £75. I’m proper annoyed at myself coz I was actually emailing them saying I suspected a scam from the way they wrote their emails. Then they claimed to be a legit, registered company, so I looked them up and everything seemed fine, so I went ahead and paid. Ugh, so gutted with myself.

This has been happening for more than a year now, and from reading these comments, you’d figure they’d have been caught with all the tech they’ve got. They’ve got a website, phone number, everything's out there. I’ve reported them to the police’s fraud division but they don’t seem bothered in getting on it quick. I’m sure if it was about benefit fraud, they’d be onto it a lot faster.

These morons gave it a go but luckily I found this site. It all seemed dodgy from the start, but how on earth do they even get cash from iTunes codes into their own accounts? Anyway, I faked a £25 iTunes voucher to see how they'd react, and to my surprise, they asked for a £75 one next lol. So, I made that one up too. Haha, guess I've got some free time on my hands.

[#][#]pulsefinance.info/index.html , [email protected][###] These scammers first ask for a £25 gift card, then demand £75 more, promising a loan right after payment. With emails and websites like these, it’s best to stay well clear. They’re crafty pros, so be wary and report them to the FCA if you can. They pretend to be legit but will do anything to steal your last penny. I care about people, but these scumbags deserve a serious kick up the backside! Managed to lose only £25 thanks to this site, not the whole £100.

They said their names were Simon, Amanda, and Michael, and I think they sounded Asian. I was trying to sort out a loan to cover the rest of my husband’s funeral costs, and they told me to buy an iTunes card and then call them with the code on it. What a load of rubbish!

This morning I got an email from Michael at Viva Loans, so I got in touch to find out how they got my info since I never applied for a loan with them. Later, I got a call telling me to pay £25 through some paypoint thing. I reckon they've been grabbing info from genuine sites, maybe by hacking or buying data. Honestly, if they’re asking for money upfront, just avoid it! I really feel sorry for those who’ve wasted their last pennies on this scam and hope there's some way they can get their money back.

A couple of days back, I got an email saying I got approved for a loan from Viva Loans. I really needed some cash and felt over the moon since loads of other places said no. They asked me to pay £25 today for £1000, but when I looked up Viva Loans’ customer support number and saw all these reviews, I felt so lucky I didn’t send any money. I’ve got two kids and cant just waste cash like that. I even emailed the bloke telling him he’s a lowlife and to stop bothering me. I defo learned not to be so gullible and trusting next time.

Hi there, I’d prefer to remain anonymous for this. I recently received an email from something called Viva Loans after applying for a loan, and they requested payments of £25, £100, £100, and yet another £50 in SafePay vouchers. I've handed over the 16-digit code they required. Since then, I’ve tried reaching out to them through emails and phone calls, but whenever I identify myself, they just hang up. It's infuriating! I've even threatened to involve the police and trading standards in my emails, but they continue to bombard me with loan offers. This whole situation has left me completely strapped for cash, struggling even for basic essentials like food and heating oil. I'm truly at my wits' end and don’t know how to move forward.

Hello there, I had quite the experience today that I wish I could unsee. Regrettably, I got caught up in it myself - I ended up handing over £25, but then they had the audacity to ask for another £75! Thankfully, I acted swiftly and demanded my initial £25 back. It’s absolutely disheartening how some individuals resort to such underhanded tactics against unsuspecting folks. I'm genuinely concerned now about the account details I provided; I can only hope they don’t misuse them in any way while promising to deposit my so-called £1000. What a world we live in!

I fell victim to a scam that cost me £25 upfront. They subsequently requested an additional £50 with promises of unlocking my supposed £1,000 worth of funds. The situation escalated when they pressed me for my passport details, as well as my bank account number and sort code. It all began unraveling when, during a staged phone call pretending to be the police, they ultimately confessed that it was all a hoax. Honestly, it was quite the ordeal!
