48hr Finance

becboc87

hi all, my experience with these scammers started on tuesday i recieved a call from a man called james kelly who said he was from star loans,he approved me for a loan. he said all i had to do was make the first monthly installment to show i was serious about the loan i paid this money to new delhi india via western union. i was promised this would be the only charge and that within 60mins i'd recieve my cash. this was all the money i had but stupidly belived it. when i didn't recieve this loan i contacted them and was told i would have to make a release fee of £100 which i didn't have i still didn't want to believe what was happening and contacted the support for the company (i used an internet search and searched for the address that was at the top of my agreement) it was star loans but when i contacted that address i was told that there company had never heard of me and i'd been a victim of crime. Ten yesterday i recieved a call from 48hr finance who approved me for a loan and all i had to do was listen to a life insurance quote (which i did) and then someone would get back to me about the payment of my loan. no one has been n touch and when i called there customer service number it dosen't exsist. i can't believe how easy it is for these scammers. i was in trouble and needed some cash and now i'm worse off than before.

I will let you guys into a little trade secret..

EVERY SINGLE CALL YOU GET FROM A LOAN COMPANY...YES, EVERY SINGLE CALL... IS A SCAM AND YOU WILL BE RIPPED OFF

Included in the above, is EVERY SINGLE CALL just in case the message hasn't managed to get through to you.

NOBODY will EVER ring you to make your life better....EVER

why be rude you can make your point without being rude? PEOPLE GET WORRIED ABOUT MONEY and it gives them stress, so they don't need to be laughed at do they.

Hi Guys.

Has anyone had any dealings with or heard anything good/bad about 48hrFinance please?

Thanks.Mollypolly.

oh yes,ive had dealings with 48 hr finance and they are skanking scum DO NOT send them any money or deposit any 2 them...only on friday did i deposit 65quid via western union as they told me i needed to,to a man in india after getting a call from them to say id been accepted for a loan of 1000...i was made up due to the fact i really needed the loan,i spoke to a lady called "jessica" who sounded as indian as they come so find it highly unlikely that was her name at all she informed me that i needed to deposit 65quid to the managing director of the company in india before the loan could be deposited for payment protecton insurance and the 1st monthly installment and after doing so i would recieve a call from the lady that would deposit the money and she would then tell me at what exact time i would recieve my loan...when the lady rang me "sharon williams" yet another indian accent she then informed me i needed to deposit another 100quid as a release fee after "jessica" promised me there was nothing else i would need to pay after the 65quid!!!before i deposited the 65quid "jessica" told me on the reciept from western union there was a 10 digit number that they would to take after id recieved my loan but,in the unlikely event i didnt recieve my money i would beable to cancel and get my 65quid bk but,that she needed 8 digits to just trace my deposit...off i went to western union did the transfer,rang back "jessica" gave her the 8 digits,then came the call from "sharon williams" telling me they wanted yet more money...once i realised it was a scam i immediately rang western union to cancel my depsoit for them to tell me my money had been collected at the other end and that i couldnt get back my 65quid and that 48 hr finance must have some way of finding out the last 2 digits...now im even more skint than before!!!
