    :j King Elvis Loans with a mission statement of 'thank you very much, rockin all the way to the bank' (best said in Elvis mode of course).
    Heeheehee :rotfl:

    I suggest a follow-up email to add: "Your money has just left the building... uhh-huh-huh..." ;)

    Long live King Elvis!

    Am i missing something here,ive read many post from people saying,"theyve taken my bank details" when surely it should be 'ive been stupid enough to give them my bank details' also people manage to find this forum and thread after theyve been stung asking "what they should do" can i ask why they didnt do homework before giving bank details,this thread is quite comical,i got to a point reading each post where i knew the title of the next was going to be"another one here" wise up people if you havent learned now not to give your bank details to any tom !!!!!! harry you never will,oh and by the way i can loan you 5k i just need your bank details.

    roh105....we have them every day come on here..what they are is desperate as they have run out of ideas having usually been chased by mainstream lenders having failed to pay them back...they then think outside the box and i reckon a lot are going to scam the scammers but they soon find out that its all a big scam..and get themselves scammed due to thinking there is such things as fairies.
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    The usual reply, is that when desperate, people do desperate things.

    These people know that people are going to be so desperate, they will believe anything, that is why they con so many people every day.

    But it's still obviously not right and these scammers should be closed down, but then of course they just reopen up under a different name.

    Thousands upon thousands of posts all across the internet on companies such as Yes Loans and yet people still fall for them and other.

    In the case of the Indian scammers using Western Union and Ukash, imagine telling people such a story down the pub, people would just say, surely you're making it up, no one would get caught out like that.

    Really not sure how much more can be done to warn people, people have to help themselves sometimes.
  • Hi,

    if you could share some information how to get my money back
    I would be very grateful.Thank's a lot





    I used to work for this company and currently have a high court fast track summons to collect unpaid wages. I also have a meeting with national tabloid to have a story published about the company.
    If anyone needs any information on how to get their money back quicker pm me. Also any other people that have had a similar situation as nanof6 then please contact myself. The more people that come forward about this shady operation the better.
