regarding a loan of 500 pounds was told to call back with my details
tis was number was withheld on my phone but given verbally

Was called by this person twice saying my application for a loan had been approved and what was left was to have the money transferred into my bank account. To get the money I was to call this number 'to aggree with the lender on what package would best suit me' and the call would cost £1.50/minute which would be refunded if I called from a landline or a mobile contract line. As I had applied for loans online I thought it was genuine but then decided that if a lender wanted to give me a loan why would they want me to call them on a premium number? They wanted my business and cannot want me to be the one who spends money which I do not have that way. So I did not call the number. A female caller first called from Tel Number: 0161 246 0200 then the following day a male called from a witheld number. I am expecting them to call again today when they don't get my callback and I intend to record the call and get the audio clip to the police.

My Wife recieved a txt advising she had been excepted for a loan.  She called the number and was charged £20.00 this was a total scam.

I was called today by a withheld number and they said a number of companies was willing to give me a credit card of up to £2000, they gave me they above number and said to ring from a contract moblie or landline as i would be given a full refund on the call. Looks like scam to me

was called at work saying i had been accepted for a credit card and to ring 09064001838 (which i discovered is a premium number) to ring from a landline quoting a number to verify my details and i would be reimbursed for the call sounded dodgy so didnt ring. 01252555075 have tried ringing a couple of times on my mobile but just ignored so glad i didnt ring them as i see its now a scam

called by 01612460200 and they told me i had been acepted by a loan company and needed t o ring this number to verify by details so it could be placed into my bank account, man on phone seemed very genuine, butdidnt understand why when i called the 01612460200 number that noone answered and was just a rrecorded message, seems a little strange to me, and they informed me i would be charged £1.50 a minute for the phone call to this number

Think this is horizon finance the re embursment address

It may be a subsidary company

Just had exactly the same call I applied for credit online, and got declined. I then recieve phone call this morning I had been accepted for a CC with a 2000 limit and to call 09064001838 and quote a ref

Sounds so dodgy its untrue

i have had over 50 calls from 01612460200 over last few days then last night i got call from an unknown number asking me to verify few details and i could have a credit card with 2000 limit on it the caller even asked what i wanted money for then he gave me a reference number and phone number 09064001838 he told me it was premium rate call but i could get money back if i rang from landline anyway tried to ring number and luckily the line is just dead which i think is good after readin all the other comments here just wish they would stop ringin me

We do not lend the money ourselves, but take your details through our telephone service, and pass them on to our extensive panel of lenders with the intent of them making an offer of finance to you directly.

your phone has a premium rate number bar.  when you got your phone installed it came with the bar on.  call your telephone supplier (BT,talk talt etc) if you want it removed.  its put there to stop under 18,s from calling these numbers without your knowing.

Wot the          is going on with this dodgy number

And how much do yu charge to make one  PREMION phone call

Have they told you that you have been approved for the loan but you need to 'phone the Premium Rate number to finalise?  This is the way they usually operate.  The calls cost £1.53 per minute and they keep you on the 'phone for as long as possible so that you end up with a huge bill.  Some people have had as much as £30 and more.  They say you can reclaim the 'phone cost if you do not get a loan, which is every time as there is not and never has been a loan.  They say the refund will take 45 days after which time they send youi an e-mail with a code number on it.  You have to taker that code to the Post Office to get your refund.  Unfortunately, they have a habit of giving you an incorrect number so the Post Office won't accept it and you have to start again, including waiting the 45 days!  They never give loans and have been exposed in the Daily Mirror and on Panorama.
