I'm proper pleased that I found this thread! I've not parted with the requested £75 & now have no intention whatsoever of doing so in the future!

Im glad but its not over yet, you still need to get a 10 from the dice to go past GO to collect the £200.

Did you enter your debit card details on the site as part of their "verification" process? If you did then you may well be getting the money deducted from your account.

I did, with a company called 'Money Essentials'. They said they wouldn't take money until loan was in my account &, luckily, they haven't. Still; I've blocked the account & my bank are sending me another card. I refused 2 give details 2 'City Financial' & have had an Indian on the phone, this morning, saying the loan is approved & they need £196 up front 2 verify who I am. They've got account & sort code - which is only good 4 paying money 'in' - & I've promised '£500' if I get money in my account first! I don't think that I'll be hearing from them again?!

Your basically sticking your hand in a tank full of Piranha fish.

It's all very well, your card details given to a company who basically take your money once, then don't give you anything and you write for a refund.

But once you get the Indians calling you, you are then at an even lower place, as these con artist from abroad, take money, then want another payment for something else, then another etc... If they get your money, there is nothing you can do to get it back. Many have been scammed by these con artists.

Them having your card and other details alone is extremely dangerous position to be in. You need to make sure you keep 100% several times a days checks on your accounts. You could well end up having to change accounts/cards completely to be rid of them.

Oh yeah, you will also no doubt, now be ultra spammed by email, text, letter, phone calls, from numerous others, saying loans have been approved.

I certainly wouldn't be taking anything too lightly.

Are you seriously having a conversation with yourself on here?
so even after reading all the posts, you are continuing with phone calls to them?
Can you point out where ANYONE suggests ringing them on the phone?


Even the scammers themselves are telling you to do the same thing this thread is telling you to do.....PUT YOUR REQUEST FOR A REFUND IN WRITING.....WITH AN ENVELOPE ....AND A STAMP...[/QUOTE
back in dec 2012 i paid fee to city financial my card was then cloned i contacted trading standards, i have recently had another text from city they wanted admin fee when i told them i had paid in dec i have not been able to speak to anyone since, so phoned trading again this time they told me to contact action fraud who are connected to the met, their number is 03001232040, the more people that contact them the more chance there is to catch them, please contact them with your info, lets get them!

Now I have read all the comments about this company I am dreading being 'ripped off' as I dealt with this company today.

If you've been entering your card details on all those sites then you better find someone to lend you some money quickly, you're going to need it for all the "broker" fees you're going to have taken.

Did it really take three times before you realised these companies you found on Google do not actually lend any money?

Top tip - you won't find a money lender as simply as that.

I agree but how does anyone find a lender when you are desperate?
