IF it were genuine try and calculate how much you would have to pay at 1734% APR!!!!!!

Assuming it was paid back in a year the repayments would total £12,255 at £1083 per month!!!!

Absolute bargain at 1734%! One of the national short term loan companies which advertises on TV has a typical APR of 4214%! Anybody want to borrow a fiver off me for a year?

Good morning everyone

Dave the links on my clips from my e mails are inactive
I pasted the screenshot in paint and then resized it
The actual e mails were deleted
I do understand your concern about links
Had they have been active I wouldn't have posted the screens
Kind regards Stephen
