We Need Your Help Against Scammers

At My Quick Loan and our sister company 1st Class Loans, we’ve recently experienced an alarming influx of fraudsters impersonating our brands.

These scammers are cunningly attempting to deceive people who are in need of money and illicitly extract money from unsuspecting individuals.

How do they do it? They send emails to vulnerable customers impersonating legitimate loan companies and asking for money upfront or admin fees. l

It’s important we spread the word to help others not fall victim.

How to Check If It Is a Scam:

To protect yourself against these fraudulent schemes, here are key points to consider:

• Check the Email Address: A significant red flag is the use of generic email domains like Gmail or Outlook. Legitimate loan companies typically have their own domain in email addresses.
• No Admin Fees or Money Upfront: We do not charge any fees for our services. If you’re asked to pay an admin fee or money upfront, it’s a scam.
• FCA Authorisation: Verify if the loan company is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). You can check the FCA register for this.
• Professional Website: Legitimate companies have professional websites with clear information and contact details.
• Secure Connection: Look for ‘https://’ in the web address, signifying a secure connection.
• Physical Address and Contact Number: Genuine companies have physical office addresses and reachable contact numbers.
• Unsolicited Offers: Be wary of unsolicited loan offers, especially if they seem too good to be true.
• Spelling and Grammar: Poor spelling and grammar in communications can be a sign of a scam.
• Ranking in Google Search: Find websites ranking in Google search, it is not easy to rank in Google Search and scammers wouldn’t do it.
