Today my 1st LS due day for payment. Msg me asking for payment. Say if I never respond will come up to my house. Last payment I did was on 9th December 2018. Still ignoring them though. Do you think they really will come up? The forced loan $500. I paid double or maybe even triple the amount already.
Pray for me guys. 😂

If we dont stop paying the cycle never ends and we can never enjoy our hard earned money that our family is supposed to enjoy. After we go through all this we need to promise each other that we will never ever borrow from any LS again

Yes. Very much agree. No matter how desperate dont turn to LS. If possible even LML.
Eventhough deep down I still feel scared but I am more relaxed now compare to how i am last time. Their msgs dont really get to me like last time. 😂

I changed my number coz i left my job already too so no point. I hope other people who are victims of LS could read this thread so that all the LS operations will die. I feel better too coz our lift got the CCTV connected to the police station.

Sounds like my case in the beginning part.

So they still keep harassing you and NOK?

Dear all, I just created this account to share my story. I am a new victim of these LOAN SCAMS from just past week. Read through many of the messages here and am *SUPER ANGRY* at how so many have been cheated. For all the victims here, we must stand up and stamp out these scammers and crime.

So much harassment is made to the victims and stress created to them and family members, colleagues, workplace. Jobs lost, family lost, friends lost. THIS MUST STOP and victims must unite to make Singapore a safe place and reduce the number of victims to ZERO.

The 2 people I talked to are Chinese Malaysian.

My story:

I was promised a loan of 10k for 5 yrs and only need to pay $200 for 60 times. (LIE)

I was asked to send IC, income statement, next of kin contacts for loan approval (DONT EVER DO THIS) [others have been asked for SINGPASS, DON"T EVER DO THIS]

I was told the loan was all legal and can be done online (LIE)

I was told they will make a test transaction to me and I just need to transfer them back before they send me the actual loan amount (LIE)

I was told after the funds transfer to me, then they will send me the Terms and Conditions of the loan (LIE)

I was told that they have a legit company with legit license and got website (LIE) - I later checked and found they gave name of an "expired" company" not on approved LML list

After the test transaction amount transferred to me, they started to harass me for the money, saying I took the loan already and pressured me to transfer by a certain time, if not I will be in trouble. After that they harass 2 of my next of kin with threatening messages. You will get it from your next of kin.

*** Never even touch any of these people EVER, also stay away from LML if you can. *** These are not money lenders, they are LOAN SCAMMERS. ***

Spoke to Police, Spoke to Credit Association.

Advice given is:

1. File Report ASAP

Crime does NOT PAY. (Pls google these news, I can't post links as am too new)

Bro JL
Thankyou for your active participation.
I hope this thread can be copied and pasted over and over again.

It will help and advise the victims.
Unfortunately there are more silent victims out there that we could not reach.

Many thanks to the brave victims for coming back to say their piece and give advice.
Careers and family life are destroyed by scammers and ls.
While they may be busy picking up the pieces now, I hope they can spare some time here by providing some comforting words.

QUOTE=JusticeLeague2018;118351088]Loans sharks charge high interest rates but if you pay off, they can stop bothering you.

Loan scams use terror to keep harassing for you for more money once you start paying.
Forced loans, harassment, says you bank in your wrong account, say your payment late when never give you bank account to pay, all tricks to terrorize you and squeeze more money out of you.

Bottom line is if you make a mistake giving them personal details, received money from them, you are in for trouble. How to get out. Read the rest of the advice from the past victims here.[/QUOTE]

Stay strong! I have been watching your story unfold. The terror is only virtual.

If they dare to show up at your door, be ready with CCTV and call police. More evidence, clear evidence means the runner can be caught in no time. Don't miss the opportunity to help clean up the loan scam terror network.

Side note: Some runners are also victims so getting them caught is a GOOD thing, else they are going accumulate charge after charge of offence of which the penalties are extremely heavy. Very sad.
