Loan Shark Harassment and how to stop it

[delceer]

Yes.. But during the call, I say no to the loan.. He says will call back later, but I block the no. Already.

They got multi Sim card.

I nv give my colleagues no. To them.. Only my mother and house phone. And my mother seldom use the phone so no problem on that side too.. I can just tell my mum it's a scam call.. So the only one they can harass is me..

Good to be optimistic. Please read back few more pages of the thread if you got time. You are surprised how connected they are and manage to dig all the colleagues and neighbours number.

Remember never give in. They harass you, go make police report.

UNLICENSED MONEYLENDING HARASSMENT

The total number of cases related to unlicensed moneylending (UML) increased by 21.1 per cent to 4,619 cases in 2018, up from 3,814 cases the year before.

Harassment cases by electronic means increased by 33.5 per cent to 3,719 cases last year, compared to 2,785 in 2017. These accounted for the majority of UML-related harassment cases in 2018.

Harassment cases involving damage to property decreased by 12.5 per cent to 900 cases in 2018, down from 1,029 cases in 2017.

"The police's enforcement efforts to disrupt UML syndicate operations, strong partnership with the community and the introduction of additional police cameras in neighbourhoods forced UML harassers to shift to non-damage and non-confrontational tactics, such as placing harassment notes in letterboxes," said the police.

More victims are being harassed via SMS and social media platforms due to the increase in new communication platforms and smartphones. This makes it easier for UML harassers to target larger groups of people, police said.

There has also been a rise in cases involving foreign workers borrowing money from unlicensed moneylenders.

"The police have engaged maid employment agencies and businesses to educate foreign workers against borrowing from loansharks and to warn them of the severe consequences of getting involved in UML activities," police said.

PHISHING

Cases under the Computer Misuse Act include unauthorised access or transaction of an individual's online accounts, unauthorised purchases using credit or debit cards, and phishing emails that obtained sensitive personal information such as passwords and credit card details.

In 2018, there was a 40.3 per cent increase in such cases, from 858 cases in 2017 to 1,204 cases last year.

"The police would like to remind members of the public to safeguard their personal particulars and online credentials and to be wary of phishing emails or websites," the statement read.

"Credit and debit card holders are advised to opt for SMS one-time password (OTP) verification for charges to their cards, as well as a notification for any charges incurred."

OMG, need advice. Been receiving sms and watsapp by LS for weeks. I admit I tempted by the terms. $5k for 12mths at $460/mth.
After given info and all, somebody called me say he need to test first.
He offered a 1 week loan for a small amount and payback 1.5x before releasing my intended amount as 1st installment.
Now feel like if I pay the intial loan, they might scam me. They already transfer money to my account even though I say I decide not to take up loan while on the phone.

Pls advice me and pardon my stupidity.
