Hi

I got scammed by a firm calling themselves 'Loan GoGo'. I feel like a complete fool as after they stole my £59 pounds i then went and checked them out..... I know, Im stupid!

Anyway, I have came on here to warn others about this stupid company, hahaha the more I talk about it the more it makes me laugh to be honest.... alarm bells should have rang with a stupid name like Loan gogo in the first place! My friend has a gerbil called GoGo!!!

Loan GoGo is a big NoNo. I would have had more chance getting a loan from GoGo my friends gerbil

    So, how exactly did they "steal" £59? Was it after you willingly gave over your bank or debit card details?

    I really hope that you didn't waste Police time with this, I prefer my taxes to be spent wisely.

    As Enfieldian has said they didn't steal your money you gave them your details..

    I give up outing the scammer, Mr DB is all over MSE getting the posts pulled.

    MSE have even deleted his name from the opening post.

    I doubt its the man in question getting the posts removed.
    Posting company directors details is against the rules of the forum. So someone on the MSE team is probably removing them (or amending posts like on this thread) with no input from this guy.

    Perhaps, but Mr DB has been on here trying to defend his "indefensible scam". He registered as DB-Loangogo but has obviously been binned and posts removed.
    I'm in little doubt he is still here reporting the posts which "out him".

    As long as the Company name remains along with the warning not to go near them, there are some positives.

    I rang this company called Pizza GoGo for a quote on a pizza after being referred by JustEat (brokers).... I don't think I'll get my fiver back... I tried to return the pizza within 14 days as it was not large like they promised me :p


    Seriously the names of these outfits should warn us to stay clear and stick to the High Street banks... trouble is when u r desperate, they seem very convincing...

    I'd love to know who mr DB is - I'm guessing Davenport Black? Still all this info is on their website.
    at loangogo.co.uk

    their trading name and Southend address is in the T&C's somewhere :(

    Was the pizza in the original condition or had it been transformed by your body?

    No... I feel very angry and violated by this company - I'm a single parent with 5 kids don't know how I'm going to make it thru the month - the broker promised me a Meat Feast after I paid their bloody fiver and Pizza GoGo sent a Margherita... and Pizza Gogo have the audacity of putting pizza leaflets thru the door.

    Do you have the phone number of the Pizza Ombudsman so I can recoup my funds - my bank (Nationwide) said they cannot help?:p
