Hello,
So not sure if this is a scam or not, had a call from a company called i-loan solutions today who said they got my details from a broker and they were a direct lender, they had a 6000 pound loan ready to pay out.
Asked me my bank details and I obviously didnt give them so did some digging and asked some questions.
Firstly can you email me the details, replied "no not until you give me bank details"
Then asked where are they based "East Grimshaw". I said when will get details of the repayments etc, they told me a firgure i would pay back per month.
Then I asked do i need to pay anything upfront, they said i needed to take £50 cash into WHSMITHS and would call me when there, I obviously said i think you are a scam and will be reporting this telephone call. Which he repeatedly denied. Gave me a website to view and which was ... which doesnt work, google brings nothing up. Number i was called from 0845 388 2955
Anyone else had this experience?
Very bizarre. :rotfl:
