They have tried calling me on my landline eight times. I told them that I would go through my bank account to see if I got the loan, but I haven’t done it. Because I know I didn’t get the loan. My landline is on the Do Not Call list. I get these calls all the time.

How to protect yourself from advance fee loan scams
- Never send money, gift cards or crypto to anyone you have not independently verified.
- Search the business name, website, email and phone number here before paying.
- Be wary of urgency, secrecy, upfront fees and “too good to be true” prices.
- If you have paid, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to dispute the charge.
- Report to Action Fraud (UK), the FTC (US) or your national authority, and add your occurrence above.
