So I have done my research about these Indian call centres calling you up and offering you a loan if you purchase a UKash voucher and I know its a scam. So when (text removed by MSE Forum Team) from quick loans called offering me a 3000 loan if I bought a £150 voucher I thought I engage him and see what they were about. When he called back again I insisted that I had done my research and he was a scam artist and he should send me and email confirming the details of the loan offer which he refused to do but keep on asking me to get the voucher. I said Id buy the voucher if he sent an email with the T & C of the loan he has now sent me this.

Mr """"
Your loan application no:AG*** for a loan amount of 3000GBPfor 24months has been approved.
Quick loans Loans provides you the same day loan ie. once the application gets processed the loan amount would be transferred the same day within half an hour time.
We request you to show your first month installment of 150GBP So that we can check your credibility and transfer the loan in your given bank acoount.
If you have any question or querries you can contact us on the number
Thanks and regards

    Anyone who asks for a cash fee to process a loan is running a scam. Ask him to knock the £150 off the £3000.!

    This is so obviously a fraud. Please don't fall for it.

    I think you're completely daft to not only engage in conversation but then go dishing out your email address to them....... unless your post is some kind of weird spam of course (it isn't as if these people are the sharpest tools in the box).

    Do they also offer Lobster Thermidor à crevette with a Mornay sauce served in a provençale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pâte, brandy and with a fried egg on top? :cool:

    Hit that button!

    They knew my details from previous loan application's that's how they called me in the first place I didn't even need to tell him my email he knew already. I have told them I know its s scam and I have still had them calling back saying otherwise but the desperation in his voice gave it away. Unbelievable how evil people can be.

    This suggests that your personal details are freely available somehow to scam artists. If this was me this be something of a concern.

    Stop making loan applications
  • OP why dont you send him £150, and report back to us the next fee they need before they release your loan funds. Then send that fee as well, and report back again the next fee they need.

    Its valuable research!!

    Please do not feel afraid to try again. Due to high call volumes, it sometimes takes a little longer to process your application. We have just launched a FasTrack service, where we can give you a decision in minutes for just £350.

    My dedicated staff will be willing to help.

    If you do change your mind, you can write to us within the 28 minute cooling off period to complaints.ukash@hotmail.com or send a self addressed envelope to Ukash, PO Box 54321, London, SE55 1AQ. If you have no correspondence within 7 days, your application may have been unsuccessful. Regulated by LAGOS.
