    You are right to be both weary and wary. Lenders give you the money first, not the other way round.

    Run away as fast as you can, and don't stop until you get to the DFW boards.

    Looks like a SCAM, sounds like a SCAM....probably is a SCAM.

    Save yourself £25 and try somewhere or see if you can save up instead
