8 yearsGot a call from some scammers who told my bank to keep an eye on my account. They said I owed £60 for insurance before I even got a loan with them. When I said no way to paying, they threatened to take £80 from my account, even though I didn’t borrow anything. Just a heads up to watch out for this sort of scam.8 yearsI got a call after I enquired about a loan. Don’t go telling me I’ve been scammed, but they managed to take £50 off me by pretending they could sort a loan out. They asked for all my info, including bank details, and that’s when the dodgy stuff started.8 yearsGot conned and they took 200 quid from me, what absolute wankers!8 yearsWatch out, these lot are proper scammers! I got stung for £200 today and I thought I was pretty careful with this sort of thing. I’ve already reported it to the fraud action helpline, fingers crossed they manage to catch them soon. Don’t let yourself get tricked like I did!8 yearsBe careful, these lot are proper scammers! I ended up losing about £200 today, and I thought I was pretty sharp. I've reported it all to the fraud helpline now, fingers crossed they manage to catch them. Don't let yourself get tricked like me!9 yearsThey rang me about 5 times while I was at work, but I just ignored it. Now after seeing what others have said, I'm really relieved I didn't pick up.9 yearsGot a call from this number claiming about a loan, ended up sending them £150 for ‘insurance’ and ‘processing fees’. Then they said I had to pay an extra £200 because my credit score was supposedly too low. When I asked the guy about getting my money back, he reckoned I could only get a refund if I took the loan. I’ve reported it to the fraud unit now. If anyone else’s been tricked by this number, hope you manage to get your cash back. Best thing is to just ignore any calls from this number - it’s definitely a scam.9 yearsCan anyone explain why on the 5th December 2017, a family with four kids was discovered? Also, what’s this talk about needing something to get a loan? I noticed this number 01618189416 is marked as one of those risky numbers. Seems dodgy to me.9 yearsAbsolutely a total con, they robbed me blind. I feel proper silly. I'm a single mum with four kids just trying to find a bit of support for Christmas. Honestly, don’t put your trust in these lot.9 yearsIt seems this company is nothing short of a scam, likely operating out of someone's living room. They managed to extract £185 from me and outright refused to refund me unless I forked out an additional £115. Can you believe it? They even attempted to coax me into purchasing an iTunes card as a means to recoup my funds, but I wasn't gullible enough to line their pockets with my money for their app store. When I had the audacity to inform them that I'd reached out to the authorities, the chap on the other end panicked and pleaded with me to retract my statement. If they were a legitimate and trustworthy business, there’s no way he’d have reacted in such a flustered manner. If you get a call from this number, make sure to block it without hesitation - don’t waste your time engaging with them. It's folks like these that really ought to be taken down a notch.9 yearsa loan broker working in financial services called to offer me help finding some finance but said it’d come with a fee. when i explained i’m a high credit risk, which is true, he told me that was just coz i was “stupid” then ended the call and blocked me. pretty rude if u ask me!9 yearsThey attempted to con me out of £50 for a loan, but I wasn’t having any of it. I made it clear to them that legitimate loan providers never ask for payment upfront over the phone.9 yearsMy bank froze my account after I was promised a loan and some money appeared in my account, turns out it was linked to a scam involving another person. Felt so stupid but I’ve now cleared things up with my bank. Definitely won’t trust anything like that again. Be careful, it’s a total scam.9 yearsi'd say if this number rings you, just block it without a second thought. these people are just scam artists, nothing else. they dont wanna give any money back, they just want to leech as much cash from you as they can. seriously, dont trust em for a sec.9 yearsIf you happen to get a ring from this number, my advice is to block it immediately. They’re just after your cash and have no plans to actually pay anything. It’s all a scam to squeeze as much money from you as possible, so watch out!9 yearsGot called by a loan company promising me a loan, but after paying a starting fee of just £25, they kept asking for more money all the way up to £180. Even though they’d told me several times I’d get the loan, they suddenly said I had to pay another £80 or I’d lose all the cash I’d already handed over. I was clear I didn’t want to pay anything else and just wanted my money back because they’d wasted so much of my time, but they wouldn’t listen. I guess I was too naive and now I’m out £180 with nothing to show for it. Proper scam.9 yearsI received a total of 18 calls from this number in a single day, and I suspect it’s a scam. What a nuisance!9 yearsGot a call from some loan company offering financial help, but I wasn’t really interested. Felt like a typical marketing pitch, sounded a bit pushy to be honest. Don’t think I’ll be calling them back anytime soon.Submit Your Own Report (0161 818 9416)
