However, these companies are fraudulent and victims will lose the transferred cash.
Community safety officer Sue Loaker said: “This is a scam, genuine loan companies will never ask for advance fees to be paid in this way.
“We would also urge people not to send these vouchers to any caller claiming to be able to sell a timeshare of holiday bonds, or to pay for items purchased from classified adverts.”
