    Surely this nugget would have sounded alarm bells?

    "In case you have any query regarding the loan you can call us on our helpline no:

    Helpline No :"

    I.e no number :)

    It scares me that people fall for this. No matter how desperate you are, surely you must know that no one is going to lend you money so easily.

    It's a typo. It should have read -

    Helpline? No.

    Hi everyone, Thanks for some very funny answers. Yes I was very suspicious that's why I posted it. I I called 118118 t0 get a Black Horse finance number to check it out. I asked to talk with their fraud squad so I could warn them. Black Horse said that they didn't have a specific fraud squad. They really didn't seem very interested that there name was being used to ? fraudulently take cash from people. Yes it was all the things in your answer's above that sent alarm bells ringing. I put it on here to warn people to watch out. The real Black Horse Finance people don't seem to feel that it is there problem. But thanks again. Very funny answers LOL'
    Regards.

    Black Horse is closed to new business. They certainly aren't marketing.

    I love the signature O4U. So true and yet so rarely practised.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    I did borrow it from a long dead American President.

    But it sits nicely with my view of our imperfect world.
