Guys on WhatsApp there's a function where you can block all unknown and unsaved numbers. It's under settings and privacy and then under advanced.

Green tick all 3 items. It's working wonders for me.

A piece of advice to the new victim of LS.

You don’t owe a loan shark your fear.

I am sure those who I pm before, had already overcome this ordeal and living with a better life now.

So heed our advice, block, ignore, don't transfer any money to them. Be it nice or bad LS, they are all the same. You are only running the risk of getting yourself involved with money laundering.

today a barrage of calls to NOKs.

some are ok, some are not...

hoping they will hold the line
Get the nok change contact and ignore them else they will nonstop calling since nok can be contacted
They will send more videos, WhatsApp messages or even messages to nok.

So true.

Some tactics are posting on FB or TG chat/group on blessing item or animal adoption and will input your address with your number or nok number too.
It's not easy to move on by changing number but out of no choice to minimise the contact of yourself or even nok being suspected with loanshark activity risk which they can easily get people to keep transfer money into the existing number that link with paynow too.
We can never predict what they going to do.

My spouse one was link to work purpose and no choice, he contact one by one via phone call with new number before getting HR to cancelled the number. He has been doing great without fearing unknown money was credited in and being suspected as part of loanshark activity

Mine is really weird, i have no calls from them but NOK has been disturbed the past few days.
For my case, zero calls to NOK till date. Already into 3 months now. More weird?? 😅

U mentioned about the WA block setting thing, it doesn't work for me. I still receive his calls & WA even though i don't save his number. I even received his WA text from diff² numbers. That's why i ended up deciding to change to a new number. Then until now, zero from them directly to me and NOK also nothing.

Now im just like waiting & see what's next he have in store for me. Last he act was over 1 month already & quiet until today.

Either he totally stopped already & move on OR just busy now figuring out more interesting tactics for me.

Don't bother what will be coming from LS. They can go and do all they want. Settle your nok who is the real victim of this incident . Anything can call 999 and clear up later.
Get your nok a new number and settle nok emotion and physically first. She might have anxiety or fear due to this incident. Cause you might not ready for what to comes from your nok too.

That's why nobody can tells you about their pattern.
Different people have different tactics.
Like @learningmylesson is having a peaceful time for now while mine is constantly having people walking pass even with big carton box on trolley walking to staircase and VANISH.

Some reappear after xx years like one member mentioned.

I still remember back then when you come to this forum, it was scary for you as first time experience.

But I am glad that you managed to pull through it after months of heeding our advice. :)

Good job, glad you found your life back hehe.
