Action Fraud

Over the last two weeks we have received further reports from people who have never applied with us being ‘cold called’ from the number 0161 4080177 and asked to make ‘upfront’ payments for loans which do not exist, again the scammers are claiming to be calling from Unsecured Loans For You Ltd.

To clarify, we are a loan broker, we don’t provide direct finance, additionally we do NOT make outbound calls to our clients requesting payments of any kind, we are completely based online. If you are contacted by anyone claiming to be working for us and asking for payments, please do not proceed with any payment and notify us immediately.

Some of the reports told us that in addition to being asked to pay via Ukash, MoneyGram, or Western Union, they were also told they could pay into certain UK bank accounts.

Once we received this information we immediately notified the banks in question and had those accounts frozen. Following this we passed all of the information we have regarding this on to the team at http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/ we believe this scam is being operated from abroad but as UK bank accounts are now being used the Police will be able to conduct an investigation into who exactly opened those accounts.

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.

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.

New Number, 02032 869 261, and caller information

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.
