THIS IS A SCAM COMPANY!!!!!! My husband fell for this. They call themselves London Finance company (there is a london finance company that is legit and has posted warnings about this scam on their website) Our scammer was from manchester calling himself MAX SMITH the number was +4416140483498. He offered my husband a loan for £1500 then asked him to pay first month "deposit" by UKASH voucher which he bought from our local corner shop. They then asked him to ring back with the voucher number. This voucher is cash so there is no way of retracing from the other side. Hubby called them back and they didn't answer the phone, So I rung back on my mobile as they didn't have my number. I asked for Max and the guy was rally cagey. I knew at this point he had fallen for a scam but in any event I passed the phone to my husband. He then stated that the money would be in our account in 20 minutes. Well an hour went by and no money and surprise surprise we cant reach them. They are very plausable - DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THIS COMPANY THEY ARE A SCAM! both NYP and Manchester police are on to these people so any further information, pass on to either police force. Unfortunately we lost £110 which we broke ourselves to do,but unlike some I feel lucky as I am reading worse like they went back for more and got it. These people are scum and I hope people use these sites and are warned so they don't sucker anyone else.

  • I want the people responsible to be punished with the full weight of the law. I don't want anyone else to lose money. The people targeted are people already vulnerable and can ill afford to lose any money. In our case we needed a loan to prevent eviction proceedings. We have unfortunatly been unable to manage this and this has not helped our situation any. I know I won't get our money back, but I don't want any one else to suffer like we have.
