  • Hi,

    My partner is signed up to the Money Shop and they are genuine, they can do advance wages etc (you give them cheques to cash after your pay day and they give you the money wil then) it also lets people post money to family abroad and much more.

    Rest assure, im also positive it isnt a con.

    Hi,

    Do you mean "The Money Club" as the moneyshop is were you can !!!!!! goods and have payday advances as were the money club is were they state that they can save you money over the year on all your purchases - ie TVs, holidays, insurance. If it is the money club I would avoid like the plague. I had a call from them a couple of weeks ago saying I had enquired (I never). They asked me lots of questions about my future purchases and then promissed to save me money. They wanted my bank details to take a yearly fee (80.00 but somepeople were charged again after 2 months). I said I wasnt happy to do that without finding out they were a ligit company 1st. They said they would call me back. I did find out quite a bit about them over internet reviews and 99% bad. They called me back and got very rude with me when I said I wasn't happy to join. They use hard sell tactics and what they can save you, you can get back by signing upto cashback sites anyway and searching internet for best price.
    if i had known then what i know now

    Thanx for that im sure its The Money Club,they said i had enquired i said i didnt know who they were they eventually phoned me back and tried the hard sell,they said they would save me money let me buy at trade rather than retail and when i said what are they selling they were vague anyways i said i dont know how they got my number but had already told them i aint interested and the girl did get a lil rude,well not rude but more annoyed that i wasnt interested in what she had to say.anyways i wonder where they got my number cause i dont really give it out unless i think what im signing up to is legit and real.
