01618840198 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618840198 👆 is reported as a fraudulent operation preying on individuals with promises of loans that require upfront payments. Callers often demand various fees to release large sums, but once paid, the money and loan never materialise. Victims describe repeated calls, use of familiar personal details to appear credible, and methods that involve transferring money abroad, making it untraceable. Names associated with the scam include false representatives purporting to be from official organisations or loan companies. Many have lost significant amounts and warn others not to send money, especially via postal services or money transfers. The consensus is to avoid engagement, never pay upfront fees, and report such scams promptly to authorities.

I was told to put down £99 as an initial payment and then the following day, I was meant to deposit £199. However, due to a mix-up at the post office, they only sent £189. The next day, I received a call saying that there wasn't enough in the account for them to process it, and they requested an extra £20 to resolve the issue. Feeling rather foolish, I complied, only to now be told they require another £99. I'm completely broke until payday. Please, don't be taken in by this like I was. I doubt I'll ever see my money again, and you might end up in the same boat.

I've had a similar experience with the same company, Smart Finance. They conned me out of £323. 00, and it feels absolutely infuriating!

We recently received a call from a chap named James Kelly, claiming to be affiliated with the land registry. He had the audacity to tell us that a property had been gifted to me. He knew our address and date of birth, as well as the location of the supposed property, which, coincidentally, is in the very city we hail from! He provided a fair amount of detail too. However, after perusing some earlier comments about similar incidents, we decided to ring back and give him a piece of our thoughts, only to find that the number was no longer active! It's plainly a fresh scam, if you ask me!

The other day, we received a call from these folks who ended up conning us for £300. They claimed that we would receive £4,293 by half seven last night, but lo and behold, nothing came through. I'm absolutely furious with these individuals. I truly hope that this ill-gotten gain brings them nothing but misfortune. What a frustrating ordeal this has been!

I've been receiving a barrage of calls about this lately, along with messages that say, "Have you settled your payment? Someone will pop by at 6:45 p.m. to hand over your cheque." It’s been quite the week with these persistent ring-ins!

I received a call today regarding this matter, just like I did all last week. The message was quite unsettling, stating, "Have you settled your payment? Someone will arrive at your door at 6:45pm to deliver your cheque."

We've been conned out of £215 and ended up with no loan to show for it! Who can we reach out to for assistance now? Is there any chance we can reclaim our money?

I received a call from some individuals claiming that I had been pre-approved for a loan of £5,000. They said I needed to make an initial payment of £172 for some sort of security deposit, and the only way to settle that was at the local post office. Thankfully, we recognised it for the scam it was and didn’t fall for it! Quite amusing in hindsight, really!

Greetings, I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out as a legitimate loan provider who believes in an honest approach. If you're considering applying for a loan, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me as I reached out earlier today. I assure you that we will guide you through the process without any trickery or hidden charges. When you're ready to discuss your options, just respond to this letter. I'm patiently waiting for your reply. Best wishes, Mark Collins (Mr)

I had an encounter with this number linked to an overseas call centre. I strongly advise against sending them any money. They’re charging fees for loans sent through Western Union, and once you've done that, you’ll likely never hear from them again.

Earlier today, we called this number and were asked to fork out £90 for what was supposedly £1,500. Then, they had the nerve to request an additional £199 before we could receive our funds. The person making the calls assured us they would cover this, yet since then, there’s been radio silence. Now I find myself in a bit of a pickle, as I owe the chap from whom I borrowed the £90. What a right mess!

I’ve gone through all of your remarks, and I must say, I just had a word with these chaps on the phone. They were insisting that we pop down to the post office to fork out £115 as the initial instalment for a £5,000 loan. It’s a right scam, I tell you! First off, when dealing with a legitimate company, you shouldn’t ever wire money to an individual’s name, it should always be through the company’s account. These individuals were remarkably eager to have the funds sent to India, which raises serious red flags since once the money leaves the UK, tracking it becomes nearly impossible. So, please, never engage in such transactions and make sure to report this immediately!

Earlier today, we contacted this phone number and were instructed to part with £90 in order to receive a total of £1,500. To our dismay, they then attempted to extract another £199 from us before we could supposedly get our funds released. The caller had initially assured us that this amount would be covered on our behalf. However, since then, we’ve heard nothing from them. Now, I'm left in a bit of a predicament, as I'm in debt to the person from whom we borrowed the £90.

This bunch seems to be part of some overseas call centre. We contacted Smart Finance and they attempted to con us out of £107 right after claiming they wouldn't impose any initial fees. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

For a fortnight, we had this Lee Cooper character ringing us up, claiming he’d secured a loan of three thousand pounds for us. What a cheek! He demanded a £190 MoneyGram to some bloke named Vinit Kumar. I knew straight away it was a scam, so I kept my wits about me. I’d advise anyone in a similar situation to document all conversations with this chap and inform your local police. When I mentioned that I collaborated with the police, he nearly lost it, shouting into the receiver. Just a word of caution to others - stay alert!

It appears that these individuals previously operated as AGM Finance, and their former contact number was 01970868267. Unfortunately, I fell victim to their scam, having handed over £185. The main culprits behind this are two blokes named Lee Cooper and James Kelly. If they ring you, do yourself a favour and tell them to bog off!
