We have received an email today from another member of the public who has not made an application with us, they had been contacted from the number 0161 408 0177 by someone asking them to make payments and claiming to work for us. Again we have advised this person not to make any such payments, we do not make outbound calls requesting payments of any kind.
We have been made aware today that the scammers are also using this number, as you can see it is very similar to other numbers reported, just the last 4 digits have changed, the caller introduced themselves as “The loan company”.
We believe that the scammers are also using 0161 408 0830.

Today we were called from this number, they claimed to be a company named Money Lender, giving a website address of moneylenders.com, again we do not believe this is actually their website.
Yet again it’s an Indian caller with very poor English. If you have been contacted by this number, then you can keep a look out on the following sites for more information or you can comment below:
Our member of staff who placed the initial phone call to the scammers has now been contacted from a new number.
This time they didn’t attempt anything on the initial call, they asked for a time that would be good to call back the following day to get the activation code for the loan to be paid to an account and confirm that our staff member would have their sort code and account number ready.
They should be calling at 10:30am today so look out on the blog for an update.

Once we found out about this number one of our staff decided to call them and pretend to want a loan. Unfortunately we thought they may have got on to us and decided not to phone us back, but after waiting over the Easter Weekend they contacted our staff member at 14:40 on Tuesday, 10th April.
The caller confirmed our staff members’ name and the loan amount, including the term of the loan whilst stating they were the ‘Personal Loans Company’. Upon confirming the details of the £8,000 loan for a car purchase we were told that the loan has been approved, even though we provided them with a dummy name, incorrect date of birth and false postal address.

That’s right – if you are being called from this number, 0161 408 2498, then it’s a scam and are they are only after you parting with your money.
We obtained this number from an enquiry we received just a few weeks ago, we were immediately disgusted when we found out that the scammer’s were giving out our website address, www.unsecuredloansforyou.co.uk, and also quoting our company details on emails they send to their potential victims.
