Any advice on how to filter out these thoughts. Been killing me :cry:
I know this is easier said than done. But I did the following to keep my mind clear...

1. Do part time, like valet, packer, dishwasher (After office hour) I especially like valet because i get to drive and give myself a peace of mind while driving haha.

2. exercise regularly, take a stroll walk whenever i had many things going on in my mind

3. Talk to your loved one, or even your closest friends about it. They will always be there to support you.

4. Just put it this way, what can they use your IC to do to you? if they post it in public, then what will you receive? emotional damage? faced thrown? Embarrassment? All these, once you faced it, they are actually nothing. As long as they didnt really hurt you physically or even making you lose your jobs then there should be nothing for you to think about.

If you are someone who is a heavy thinker or tend to bottle everything inside, you should find a way to vent it out, Let all this emotion out, dont keep it deep inside of you.

Dont underestimate the power of the human mind, we can really do all sort of things to overcome it as long as you had the will and put the effort in it.

So don't let all these emotions get over you :)

Cheers.

Just do 1 thing, re-activate facebook, go to settings, click lock profile.

Make sure your profile is locked. And you are safe to do anything you want

Thank you, i really hope so! Need a normal life back, be it physically & online! 😅
They don’t have the time to look into your case anymore. Plus, since you’ve already locked your profile, changed your picture, and even your name, they won’t be able to find you through fb. And even if they somehow did, they still wouldn’t know who your friends are, as long as you randomly accept friend request, haha.

This year alone, I have counted around 75 adults and 3 youths arrested for loan shark harassment cases.

Honestly, I still find it abit difficult to understand that even with so many people getting caught, there are still “victims” willing to do this kind of work for loan sharks.

We really need more public education on this. This forum may help, but it is still not enough. For all we know, some people reading this right now might be “runners” themselves, too scared to speak up because they’re afraid of being exposed. But then seriously, trust us on this, if you stop doing this nonsense now, the sooner you can get out of the mess. The earlier you cut ties, the quicker you can move on with your life.

Yes. Eventually I search in this forum, another topic was saying they’re also doing their job, don’t miss their call and return call 🤣

With constant arrests of harrasments by runners and money mules, it proves and set as a reminder to everyone it's not worth your future to assist these scammers aka UML or loansharks.

For many of you, might think people scammed are weak or stupid but ANYONE can fall for their tricks.

And it's human nature to be scared especially if one's life, livehood or family is threatened when they starts their M.O of squeezing money from you.

So for those just casually reading this posts but not a victim do spread the word that following the instructions of the UML is the worst thing you can do.

For those still going through this hell, keep ghosting.

Recent arrests shows that their activities are still viable and more awareness needs to be done to severely cripple them. Let's help or fellow citizens/residents not to have a criminal record for involving in loansharks activities.

Remember, never partake in their business activities, eg using own bank accounts to transfer money on their behalf. It is always short-lived, soon enough WILL get arrested.

Spread the word.....

hello, new victim here TT

my story doesn't differ much from most of the previous TT

I've just reported to the police today and have blocked their numbers. Police's advice is just to be careful and keep blocking. They said to install CCTV requires a permit from town council. Really afraid of future harassment...

Just really stressed out and afraid TT Not sure what's the best way forward TT
