10 yearsI found an identical offer for a £3000 loan that required £120 paid in advance. Still, I thought it wise to investigate smart finance as a backup. However, after coming across this website, I've decided not to proceed. Cheers for the heads up, everyone.10 yearsI received a phone call from Chales Dawson at a company called Smart Finance in Manchester, offering me a loan of £8,000. However, they insisted that the first payment be made via Post Office or Western Union. After that, they said they’d ring me back for my details and then deposit the funds into my account within an hour. Given the numerous complaints I found during my research, I'm glad we decided against sending any money. Cheers for the heads-up!Chales DawsonSmart FinanceManchesterPost OfficeWestern Union10 yearsI recently received a call from someone claiming to be Charles Dawson, the processing manager, who promised us a sum of £3000. However, they insisted we would need to deposit £120 into a Post Office account first. Fortunately, after a bit of research, we stumbled upon numerous complaints about this scheme. I'm really relieved that we didn’t fall for it. A huge thanks to everyone for their warnings! Let’s make sure this company is held accountable for their fraudulent behaviour. Take care and steer clear of @credit4u.com!Charles DawsonPost Office10 yearsI was initially presented with a loan offer of £5000 at an interest rate of 7.9% for a term of three years, but then it mysteriously morphed into four years in a subsequent message. Upon asking for a reimbursement of the so-called "refundable fee" we had already issued, they instructed us to transfer £285 via Western Union to New Delhi, addressed to either Kamal Singh or Manish Puri. They provided an address of Office 25, Victoria Road, Manchester, under the business name Smart Finance Services Ltd, and their email was [email protected]. I strongly advise steering clear of these individuals; I wish we had done so sooner!Western UnionNew DelhiKamal SinghManish PuriOffice 25Victoria RoadManchesterSmart Finance Services Ltd11 yearsWho on earth was that company that rang us?11 yearsA huge thank you to this site! The messages here have been a real eye-opener for us. These callers got in touch with a pretty convincing sales pitch, but I’m relieved to say I won’t be handing over any cash to them. Apparently, they had our number linked to Yes Loans, which is quite concerning. Cheers once more for the help!Yes Loans11 yearsRecently, we sent some money through Western Union, and today we received a request from these individuals for an additional payment of £99. We only just came across the comments about them and now we're feeling quite bewildered. It's as if every time we think about encountering these people, we might end up taking some action we'll deeply regret. What a sticky situation!Western Union11 yearsWe've found ourselves tangled in this scam. We've requested a refund of £128.00, but it hasn't been returned yet. We're giving them one hour to rectify the situation.12 yearsReceived a call from them earlier today, but it was completely silent, so we hung up. They promptly dialled us again, and it was quiet at first, so we started shouting “hello.” The woman on the line asked why we were raising our voices, to which we countered by asking why they kept phoning. To our surprise, the rather pleasant lady told us to shove off! Quite the interaction, I must say. :s12 yearsI implore you to steer clear of these individuals. They're only after your personal details and banking information, with the intent of launching a new account in your name and making off with your funds. Exercise extreme caution, won't you?12 yearsWe've fallen victim to a scam ourselves; these characters have made off with £587 of our wedding savings, all while promising us a loan of £7,000! Is there anyone out there who could offer some guidance on how we might reclaim our lost funds? Any help would be much appreciated!12 yearsWe've received a call from this company proposing a sum of £2500, and they're suggesting we pay £99 at the post office to access the funds within the hour. While we undeniably need this cash, we're a bit apprehensive about handing over the fee in advance, especially since we’ve had a similar experience with an unsecured loan firm that left us in a bit of a bind. I’m leaning towards going ahead with it, but I’m feeling quite uncertain at this moment.12 yearsWe've fallen victim to that company, 48hr Finance, and it’s been a right bother.48hr Finance12 yearsI’m dealing with this through Kensington Finance. It’s quite similar to the loans offered by Provident. Essentially, your advisor pops round from time to time to check in on your progress and see how you’re managing everything.Kensington Finance12 yearsWe’ve experienced the same issue! These individuals seem utterly relentless, constantly ringing us up. They’re harping on about us sending them £100 through MoneyGram to New Delhi. Honestly, do they think we were just born yesterday? I’m all for reporting this to the local authorities so we can put a stop to their antics.MoneyGramNew Delhi12 yearsWho on earth are these individuals?12 yearsI received a phone call from a number claiming to be Kensington Finance. The caller insisted they could provide me with a £5000 loan, and they said that two individuals would deliver the cash to my residence this evening. However, they asked me to pay the initial instalment of £182 via Western Union and to share the claim reference with the couriers upon their arrival. This situation feels incredibly suspicious to me. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.Kensington FinanceWestern UnionSubmit Your Own Report (0161 884 0218)
