NEVER TRUST OR NEVER TALK TO THEM

This ‘loan company’ as that’s what they are calling them these days. Constantly having emails sent to me from them with a different loan pre-approval everyday and they wanted to have £25 loan insurance fee but get us to pay for this ‘steam gift card’ option and when i searched that up online and it came up saying
‘If someone contacts you to pay them in Steam Wallet Gift Cards, you are most likely targeted in a scam. Never give out a Steam Wallet Gift Card to a person you do not know.’

I had an offer from Fresh Loan similar to others, when I read the deal I read it again, they claim they are brokers? and got my info from money supermarket? as I have never consulted Money Supermarket, I came on this site for a review, hey presto, I'm not alone. Money Supermarket should be investigated for hacking into people needing financial help.

Just received a strange email advising I've qualified for a loan, if I pay £25 I can have the money in my account in 30 mins??? Who pays a charge and why so many spelling mistakes, I'll also be emailing moneysupermarket, to see if they are on their systems

A complete scam.

A complete scam.
First of all I did not apply for a loan with Fresh Loan
Surprised this week to get 3 emails with different loan amounts approved but they wanted £58 in advance . LEGITIMATE companies don't ask for initial payment when you apply for a loan.

At the bottom of the email, they spelt CONGRATS as " CONOGRATS"

THAT A TELL TELL SIGN .

LEGITIMATE Companies wording is professional. They right the word congratulations not "CONOGRATS"

PLEASE PLEASE RUN......ITS A SCAM

MRS IRENE BRAY

My friend was contacted by KUMAR on Saturday regarding a loan for 3000. Today he rang back and asked for another 25 pound AMAZON CARD which I went and got.
Once again he asked her for 2 x £50 AMAZON CARD'S which I gave to him because she is BEDRIDDEN.
He then asked for another £150 for the paperwork.
I TOLD KUMAR THAT MRS BRAY DOESN'T WANT THE LOAN ANYMORE BUT WANTS A TOTAL REFUND OF £125 OTHERWISE I WILL REPORT THEM TO THE POLICE AND GET AN INJUNCTION AGAINST YOUR COMPANY. THEY ARE AN ILLEGAL COMPANY WHO TAKE MONEY FROM VUNERABLE PEOPLE

SCAMMED FOR £20 and asked us to then send £100 just before we got the £3000 for £75 a month, unfortunately my wife seen the best deal of a life time and I walked in half through and stopped her but how much does this scumbag company make each day doing this.

Fell into the good old fashioned SCAM lucky enough I only lost £25, what got me was they asked for another £100 for bank transfer charges, looked into this, any loan company who are ligit will never charge for transferring money into your bank account. So be warned if you get emails from this SCAM company delete them even the phone number is done through a computer so it looks like a London number, anybody can set up a land-line number on a computer. BE WARNED. Sounded to good to be true on there email

Thanks for all the reviews on this…

Thanks for all the reviews on this company. My credit rating isn’t great and when I got the email today saying I had been accepted for £3000 at £97 per month and I had to pay was £25 initially to get funds transferred today. Thought it was a bit too good to be true and I’m glad I did and looked up reviews on here. Thanks guys for all your reviews that stopped me making the biggest mistake but I’m so sorry for you that were not as lucky as I was.

TOTAL SCAM

TOTAL SCAM! Scammed me out of £200+ before I realised. Never applied for a loan before so didn’t know how it worked. Wish I had read the reviews before hand. Reported to police and bank. Hopefully I receive a refund. I was so stupid and I won’t make the same mistake again. AVOID AVOID AVOID. VINCENT - your company is going down. I won’t stop till you little rats are in the gutter.

I got in touch with fresh loans and I got told that I should pay £25 to them for insurance purposes. Witch I did. And after that I was asked to pay £105 extra witch I got a bit suspicious. I didn't go ahead with it. Avoid if possible.

Unprofessional emails

I was foolishly dooped and it's safe to say it has had an affect on me, tbh I feel broken I am so careful when it comes to these sort of things but I'm in a hole and I was desperate, I have given them both of my bank details so now I have to deal with that, my monzo account is blocked because of them, Indian accent have had correspondence from them in email so I'm gonna get my money back, their emails are suspect aswel as they use different named emails and their emails look like a 15 year old done, all bold it just doesn't look like a professional email, please be careful.

Dodgy copy-cat loan companies

I don't know what Freshloan is like as a company to be honest, I think someone is pretending to be them, calling themselves fresh loan UK and other companies with similar names to real companies, just adding a .co or uk etc at the end. They send emails in really basic fonts, often with word documents attached to them saying they have accepted a loan for 5 grand (that I had not even applied for) and to pay insurance, or something, to them in order to release the funds. I get lots from very similarly named loan companies all following the exact same format saying my loan was accepted. I tried to apply for a £100 short term loan from a different company but the pass your details on. I even had a failed attempt of 29.99 taken from my bank, from another dodgy company Cashsavng (or something) (not the name of who I applied with either) after they wanted to take 12p out and in my account to check it works. So I have had to block them and change my card. They put tiny clauses in small print to say they will charge you, the bank camt do anything if the payment goes through. Its shocking scamming people who are already struggling or wouldnt need a loan. enough to tip some over the edge. If you need a genuine loan, dont give a company your long bank card number. An account number and sort code is enough for them to check you have an account and pay in. I would always be very suspicious of giving your bank card and security code out and only ever do it if you are positive they are legit. Also, you should not have to pay a loan company to release funds to you. Also, please dont ever reply to emails from you companies you didnt apply to or answer/call back any company that phones you to consolidate debt or help with a loan etc, they are scammers and some even dont speak hoping want you call back so they make money from the call. I know you must be struggling to need a loan, but trust me, dealing with these people will only leave you in a worse position, dont click links, just mark as spam, delete, dont answer and block contacts. I even had someone text whatsapp pretending to be a work agency. I am fully employed, since forever! Sorry for the long review, but protect yourselves, theres some heartless people out there!

Avoid this company unless they can provide proof they are legit

I have had numerous emails from this company all with the same details like it has been copied, so I have asked them to provide proof that they are a registered regulated company otherwise I won’t touch them with a barge pole. I have already been severely scammed by what I now is a clone company pretending to be the real company so be careful guys when applying anywhere you are not aware of and ask them to send proof otherwise avoid them like the plague.
