| Additional Information | This scam is an example of an ‘advanced fee fraud’, where a payment is sought upfront prior to providing a loan. The loans are never provided. This fraudulent firm has cloned the details (name, address, LEI number and CRO number) of a Central Bank of Ireland authorised firm and has been seeking to pass itself off as the legitimate firm, Seaconview DAC (CBI00144391), in order to deceive Irish consumers. It should be noted that there is no connection whatsoever between the Central Bank authorised firm and this scam entity. |
| Further Information | This entity shares the telephone numbers with another fraudulent entity that has also purported to offer retail credit in Ireland without authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland. The Central Bank of Ireland issued a warning notice concerning this fraudulent entity: ABR Chesapeake Ireland IV plc (March 2025) |
