Stalker 180 Posted July 11, 2020 Hi James I just got sent that video this morning by a friend. I don't get how it could happen. I applied for a BBL via our bank (Natwest) This loan is a new account linked to our main account. Our main account is tied in with my own personal email. i got texts.emails for verification purposes. I wonder which bank it was via? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rory RSC 596 Posted July 11, 2020 You can easily get BBL from other banks and there are actually some companies out there getting them for businesses who don't understand it and doing it for a fee. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He didn't really say that did he? I thought that you can only apply for one Bounce Back loan, so you would struggle to perform this scam on any of the traders I know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RH Trading 80 Posted July 13, 2020 Easily done, saw the film at the weekend on CSDG on facebook, scary but a quick look on companies house can get you director details and the invoice makes it so easy to apply for one of those loans. I'd love to have had the police waiting for the guy when he turned up to collect the Porsche Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
