Got a call from some dodgy modelling agency, and they were really impolite when I told them I wasn’t keen.

Some guy named Dave rang me saying my modelling application got accepted and asked if I wanted to set up a photoshoot and meet up if I was keen! Haha, like that’s gonna happen ?? I’m a 45 year old, really overweight mum with grey hair - a model, yeah right! Proper funny!

This is definitely one of those prepaid loan cons. They promise you a loan of about 3000 quid but first they ask you to send £120 upfront. After you’ve paid, they ring you again saying you owe tax or fines because of your poor credit or some other nonsense. It’s all a scam and they’ll keep stalling because they’re no legit lender at all.

Were you able to retrieve your funds? - caller: 020 3813 6194

Honestly, some of you are a bit clueless innit. I've taken out a loan but they want me to pay upfront first. Honestly, glad something bad happened to you lot. Absolute muppets. And those who didn’t even apply but still lost money? That’s just ridiculous. Stop whining and move on already.

I've just been duped out of £109 too! What a bummer! 😩 The number was 020 3813 6195, and it’s based in London, England.

This happened to me earlier today, and I've already handed over about £240. I’m not gonna quit until I see that money returned. Some bloke named Robert was the one I spoke with. Proper annoyed right now!

What a bunch of charlatans! They pulled the same stunt on me, pocketing exactly what they did previously. Everything about their operation - website, phone numbers - is a complete scam designed to ensnare unsuspecting individuals and snatch away their hard-earned cash. When I sought a refund, I was met with the ludicrous proposition of waiting a fortnight or removing any critical comments. Utterly disrespectful, arrogant individuals who seem to thrive on exploiting others because they lack the decency to earn a proper living. The repercussions of their wrongdoings will surely haunt them; no one can truly be content while causing distress to others. It’s the innocent who suffer the most, while these con artists think they're untouchable. But little do they realise, karma has a way of finding everyone in the end. Every moment spent deceiving others will weigh on their conscience, serving as a constant reminder of their malevolence.

I reached out to them once more today, and I must say, the level of rudeness was astonishing. They accused me of abusing the bank and claimed I had committed fraud. Not only did they swipe my money, but they also had the audacity to demand I remove this blog before they'd even consider giving me back what’s rightfully mine. What a cheek! I'm absolutely convinced they're keeping tabs on these comments. To the woman and the chap I spoke to earlier, let me be clear: your actions have consequences. You’re profiting off the hard work of unsuspecting individuals, and trust me, that kind of karma isn't something you can escape. Your families are entangled in this mess too, and I sincerely hope they remain blissfully unaware of the path you’ve chosen. If you’ve any decency left, I challenge you to put in the effort like the rest of us do. There will come a day when you’ll reflect on this misdeed, especially on your last day. I hope my words haunt you, a constant reminder of your disgraceful choices. - caller: 020 3813 6191

I’ve had a rather shocking experience myself-a total loss of £658! The very next day, they were on the phone demanding another £200. I requested a cancellation and a refund, only to be told there’s a cancellation charge of £120. I suggested they deduct it from my refund, but they flat-out refused. They insisted I either wait a fortnight or fork out £120 to reclaim my own money! The fellow I dealt with was Tony Suleman; the customer service was abysmal-his English barely passed muster. I even communicated with them in Hindi, but the rudeness was off the charts! I’ve reported it all to the police, armed with every detail I could muster. I strongly advise against sharing any personal information with such disreputable companies. - Phone numbers: 020 3813 6191, 6190.

I got a call from this number about a home improvement loan, a woman named Alisha said if I paid a deposit for the first instalment they’d send the money over. I gave them my bank info and £200, but never saw any loan come through. Watch out, it’s a scam.

I recently received a call on my mobile, 07717531777, from a firm purporting to be from homeowner loans. They offered me a loan of £3,000 to be repaid over three years. However, they then demanded a £180 processing fee, assuring me the money would be transferred quickly. After that, when I followed up, they requested an additional £300, which I regretfully provided, under the promise that the loan would appear in my account imminently. As it stands, I've heard nothing since. Each time I attempted to get in touch, I was met with evasive responses before they hung up on me. It appears this is nothing but a scam, and I believe it warrants urgent investigation. The caller identified herself as Alisha, claiming to represent a home improvements company.

I received a rather dubious call from a so-called firm by the name of Home Improvement Loans, featuring conversations with a woman named Alisha and a chap named Robert Dunn. On the morning of Monday, 5th January, around half-past nine, my mobile rang. It was them, announcing that I was approved for a loan of £3,000. They got in touch again on the 6th of January at about 5:30 PM, still pushing the same thing. They said I had to pay an initial sum of £130 for the first month's security, followed by an additional £249 for a tax charge - which of course they assured me would be refunded alongside the loan amount. After transferring these payments, I saw no sign of the funds they promised. Then they resurfaced with another demand for £199, claiming it was for transaction fees, and even attempted to convince me they were legitimate by sending a small test payment of £202 to my account. It seemed rather credible, but yet again, no loan materialised. When I tried to follow up, I kept getting the runaround. They said if I hadn’t received the loan by the end of the day, I should ring back on Tuesday morning, only to find nothing had changed. Ultimately, they informed me that because the loan was an unusual sum of £3,448, I needed to fork out an additional £152 to round it up to £3,600. At that point, I had enough; I flatly refused to pay any more. They had already drained my funds and swiftly cut the call when I mentioned wanting a refund. Feel free to jot down this bank info they provided me: Sort Code: 60 60 06 Account Number: 46163816 Payments that came through my account appeared from individuals named M Billal and Mizum for amounts of £202 and £242, but the promised refund or loan never came through. They pushed me to transfer these sums, allegedly as tests, back to the same account. Their base appears to be in London, and they reached me through 020 3813 6191. I’m truly at a loss now, as my bank account is left empty. The other number that’s been used to contact me is 020 3289 5238. After doing a bit of digging, I discovered that many others have been scammed by this supposed company, which was initially trumpeting refund claims for clients who’ve suffered similar fates. Unfortunately, my attempts to access their website, homeimprovementloans.org.uk, yielded nothing, solidifying my fear that I’d been duped alongside a whole host of others. It's imperative that these fraudsters are put in check, as they’re wreaking havoc on innocent folks across the UK. Is there, perchance, a chance I might retrieve my lost funds? I've been left in a dire situation, unable to provide for my child or settle any bills due to this grim affair. Do feel free to reach out to me, Alan Petch, at 07717531777. For reference, here's the bank information they gave me: Account Number: 46163816 Sort Code: 60 60 06 Account Name: HomeOwnerLoans

Massive scam alert! I received a loan agreement packed with all the details and company registration numbers. The fraudsters insisted on payment for: Monthly instalments: £179 Tax: £349 (which they claimed was refundable) Transfer fee: £289 (also supposedly refundable) They kept pushing for these payments! These individuals are incredibly convincing con artists. I've reported it to my bank and advised the police immediately. The number to beware of is: 0203-813-6191. Stay alert, everyone!

Received a call from this number, and they scammed me out of £465 under the guise of a security deposit for my initial loan payment, promising a £25,000 loan. I've already reported this to both the Police and my bank. The account linked to the scam is held by someone named Indeera Shankala at HSBC, but unfortunately, the bank hasn’t been very useful in this case. Now, I'm relying on the police to take action. It’s evident that banks really need to improve their scrutiny over customer accounts, as I’m sure there are others who have fallen prey to this scheme. The number in question is 02038136191.

replying to the last comment about losing £614, we’re dealing with something similar. do you reckon it’s just the new year causing delays or is it a scam? how long has this been happening for you? what’s the company’s name and the rep you spoke to? ours was a home improvement loan and a lady called alisha handled it. we figured maybe new year processing times are slower. what did you need to do to get the loan and have they actually given you anything yet? would really appreciate your input. thanks x

On Monday, a rather dubious call came through from this number, promising me a loan. Regrettably, I fell for it and now I’m out of pocket by £614! I’ve reached out to my bank, have flagged it as fraud, spoken to the police, consulted the financial ombudsman, and even sought advice from Citizens Advice. Unfortunately, they all seem to think retrieving my funds will be incredibly tricky. What I really need is an address linked to the number!

I encountered a rather discourteous representative who seemed to lose her composure when I mentioned I'd involve my bank, as well as hers, due to her refusal to pick up the phone from any number apart from my own. It's quite telling, don't you think? I’m curious to see how she’ll handle matters when the police decide to reach out to her. Best to steer clear of this lot!

I've been swindled out of £940 by some serious crooks! Make sure you report them to the police and inform your bank ASAP - we can't let these scams continue unchecked!

I received a rather dodgy call regarding a loan, during which they requested my personal details and then casually mentioned they would withdraw £200 from my bank.Feeling uneasy, I promptly contacted my bank, and as it turns out, I needed to have my account closed right away. If you ever find yourself in a similar predicament, don't hesitate; contact your bank without delay! Watch out for this number: 020 3813 6191, hailing from London, England.

Beware of a dodgy operation related to £200 loans from an Indian firm. They've swindled a lot of people. Please exercise caution regarding these numbers: 02038136190 and 02038136191. It's a scam, so keep your guard up!
