Have I been scammed paying a fee twice to two accounts for an unsecured loan?

I am a guy of 31. The company said I could have a loan and gave me its bank details and I sent the fee.

It then said it couldn’t send the loan until I’d paid another £150 to prove I could afford to take it out.

The firm gave me different bank account details and I made another payment. It has now contacted me to say the loan was sent to my account but, when I checked, it hadn’t. Have I been scammed?

DEIDRE SAYS: I’m afraid it sounds like it. It’s most likely you have been used for money laundering, but now they have your bank details.

Stop contact immediately and get advice from Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk, 0300 123 2040).

Tell your bank straight away, as you will need to change your account number and log-in details.
