Protecting yourself from fraud

We have recently been made aware of people being approached by email and messages by a company impersonating us under the name, Amigos Loans. Please be aware that Amigos Loans is not a legitimate company or associated with Amigo Loans Ltd in anyway.

When applying for credit it is important to be aware that fraudsters are continually looking for new ways to cheat you out of your money. Extreme care should be taken before giving your personal information to any company you are not familiar with. It is always advisable to do some research to ensure you are dealing with a reputable business before handing over your payment details.

Please be aware that:

• Amigo Loans Ltd are not currently lending so we would not send an invitation to you to take out a loan with us
• We would not ask you for money to apply for a loan
• A genuine Amigo email would only ever be sent from an address ending with @amigoloans.co.uk or @amigo.me

If you believe that you have been targeted, feel that your personal information is at risk, or have lost money please ensure that you report this to Action Fraud and your bank immediately.

If you have concerns with suspicious websites, calls or messages relating to Amigo, please email [email protected] so that we can look to review these for you and offer further advice.

You can also report suspicious emails by sending them [email protected] and report scam websites directly to the National Cyber Security Centre.
