It’s all a scam and I am very surprised that authorities have not closed this company down , and prosecuted the individuals who are involved in scamming innocent people who may be suffering financial hardship , through no fault of their own in a lot of cases .

Scammers

I’ve just had an email from them saying I have been approved £5000 for a loan that I have not applied for. The monthly payments looked dodgy and asking for £25 upfront fee! I knew it was a scam because they never mentioned my name 🤣🤣 What ever you do, DO NOT SEND THEM YOUR BANK DETAILS..

Never go for this!

Total waste of time. I found this loan company via searching online and when applying i kept having emails to say i was approved and accepted and that i needed to give details that they requested to receive my loan funds and i never did after multiples of applications and multiple of times replying to each one.

The date i gave when it occurred is a rough estimate but it’s been going on ever since!!
It started a few months before July 2023 but it wouldn’t allow me to go any earlier than July.

A total scam

They e mail me regularly offering a loan of £3000 for £97 month. But they want £25 upfront for insurance. No company asks for money upfront so I knew this was a scam. As a pensioner on limited income I feel the cyber crime unit should be acting immediately to remove them from the internet.

One of the worst offenders

I as well was looking online and since then it has been over a year of constant emails or texts with this company being one of the worst offenders. Luckily I saw signs of this being a scam due to the upfront fees and the terrible unprofessional emails full of spelling and grammatical errors. The language obviously written by a person for who English is not a first language. Then to sign it Mr Steve !! That among other names that just sound obviously made up. Beware there are so many and they likely all linked in some way .

Absolutely disgusting company

Absolutely disgusting company. 100% scammers. I got scammed for £125 then they tried telling me I had to pay another £150. So i contacted my bank and my bank refunded the money back. No one trust these horrid people they are true thugs they blocked me and my husband and called me all sorts of names and swore at me and made me feel really uncomfortable. When I asked for my money back they turned nasty

They won’t leave me alone!

I am constantly being bombarded with spam emails from this fake company every single day, they keep adding me to Google groups, I’m constantly bombarded with spam calls from 020 numbers and mobile numbers that are not affiliated with any legit companies when Googling the numbers. I’m sick of this I’m considering deleting my email account and getting a new phone number. I have no idea who sold my details to this company but I’m sick of receiving contact from them.

why would anyone trust them

Loan companies don't ask you for money before actually giving you the loan payment.

Cant believe people send these scammers money and look at the repayment rates.

If it not extortionate rates its a scam.

I applied for a payday loan through…

I applied for a payday loan through moneysupermarket last Thursday. Friday I got a email from fresh loans telling me I was approved for £3000. I just had to pay £25 for insurance, so I did. Friday evening I received another email from fresh loans advising me I had to pay another £175 for bank transfers and admin fees. So my last money on my debit card I paid it. Monday I checked my bank account and they didn't transfer any money to me. I tried calling the number on the email, it's nonexistent. Someone phoned me today on a Manchester area code number saying they were calling from fresh loans, they told me the money will be in my account in 30 minutes if I pay another £225 and that will cover my first 3 months repayment on the loan. I explained I hadn't got anymore money and the man then hung up on me. These people are scammers and are not legit. Please don't send them any money.
