I used them to borrow 300k to buy a job lot of shizzle and they proved most reliable.

Kidding, you'd better have money to spare if you have given them even a sniff of your card details.

As PREVIOUSLY stated, I have not passed on my details. Thanks.

Hi, first post on here, has anyone heard of w w w.pyramidfinance. co.uk? Had a call off them as I am looking for a loan, used search engine and they must have my details? Has anyone experienced them before? Thanks.:cool:

Hmmm, domain name registered about two and a half months ago using an iffy address:

[xx] Gimson Avenue
Cosby , LEICESTER ,
LE9 5FA
London
Leicester(Cityof)
LE9 5FA
United Kingdom

Last time I checked Leicester wasn't in London. The domain name appears to have been registered by someone who isn't very knowledgeable about UK geography.

Thanks for the domain info. I have also emailed their web mail address only to get a 'notification of delivery failure' that answers a few questions! Thanks again.

Always worth asking on here first as you have done - its much easier to help someone before they hand over bank details etc than after they've been scammed.

If you are in any doubt with these types of companies its always best to be cautious. If you google for bad credit loans or similar then most of the results will be brokers, scammers or at best payday loan companies. There are very few genuine lenders who will lend to people with bad credit history anymore.

(I know I'm making an assumption that you do have poor credit history or very little credit history but just to warn anyone else reading who may be in a similar position to you or considering similar companies).

I'm totally baffled!!

WHY OH WHY are you trying to email them about anything??

What do you think is going to happen??

Do you reply to every email you receive from some African Prince or Russian Bride??

Thanks for the advice. I applied with ONE company and to my surprise have been text every day since Friday from others. As you said, thankfully I have not given any details regarding bank etc. This site has been a great help and I only posted this lunchtime. Thanks again.:T

Thanks, but for my own reason I was confirming what I thought to be a scam And no, I do not reply to every email. Not always to every comment either!

DO NOT even bother speaking to this company! they arent a company they ring you pretending to have accepted you for £5000 in broken english and ring constantly! i received documents to my email which do not look legite the email address is pyramidfinance@ymail.com this was signed up to via yahoo on 20th july 2011 a loan company wouldnt have email address from yahoo or hotmail! the man who rings says hes called john and doesnt want any id or wage slips, bankstatementsect or even employment details BIG CON! they want £130 upfront which straight away is a con no loan company wants money upfront as they pay you not the other way round! NOBODY SIGNUP OR SEND MONEY TO THIS MAN!

Even from your warning post I'm bemused as to why you carried on talking about wageslips, ID or bank statements to this guy.
