"Please can you send me ur I'd number along with ur names with ur cell phone number. Let me check if u qualify for a loan in our company".I responded with a FAKE name and ID number. They responded:
"Let me check if u qualified for ur loan, I will get back to u ok".Exactly 10 minutes later they said:
"Congregation, ur loan has been approved ok (...) Your monthly installment for 60 months , is 1796.87 Loan interest R 7812.20 Total payment R 107812.20. Your registration fee is R2500. This fee will enable us to register your information in our system and the release of your loan into your bank account. But this fee will be refunded back to you after three working days."Of course this is what it's all about. The "registration fee" of R2,500.
I asked for their company details and they gave me an incomplete SA company registration number. However, a little detective work showed that no company called "Planet Online Finance" is registered in South Africa and the number they use has also been used before by "Bridge finance loan", an identical loan scam.
Please don't waste your time, money and effort on this scam.
