Act immediately
Do not send another penny, even if pressured. Call your bank’s fraud line to report the payment and ask about recall — funds are sometimes recoverable if flagged fast. Change passwords if you shared credentials.
Report and protect
Report to Action Fraud (0300 123 2040) and keep all messages as evidence. If you shared bank data, watch your accounts and consider a credit check. Then apply only through a verified lender such as Credicorp directly.
What it means for you
Credicorp lends to your company, not to you personally, and takes no personal guarantee. See business loans or apply online.
