Loan Shark Harassment and how to stop it - Part 2

[SIM37_]

should i even reply to say that ive made a report and will no longer be continuing contact with them etc? i also shouldn't let them guilt trip me into anything right?

When a school bully takes your lunch money, do you give it to him and he'll stop? Giving him will only ensure that he'll keep asking for more!

Ignore, Block, report and repeat.

Do not pay anymore! That's the way you stop it

Just con't to be vigilant on your surroundings. Mine went quiet for 2 weeks straight then suddenly sent 1 foreigner up to my door knocking non-stop! I didn't open, called SPF & when they arrived, that guy is still outside, he got questioned by them

hi,
I got this today, but I opened the door and my bf snatch the foreigner phone and my bf scold the guy over the phone vaguely until the ls told my bf he is also working for someone leh. Polices also came over to questions the guy and took him off. The police even laugh at my bf scolding the ls.

hi can ask, my helper borrowed $250 each from 1st loanshark and 2nd loanshark. 1st loanshark she repaid $450. 2nd loanshark she hasnt paid. filed police report. although 1st loanshark still pester for $300 more but i think they will stop after a short while, have ignored them. 2nd one i scared she has not paid yet, will be angry. but police advised no need to pay at all. just totally ignore.

what should i do? should she at least pay the $250 (principle) which is what she received from 2nd loanshark? then ignore any other amount. if not its a loss to 2nd loanshark i scared they will be angry.

btw they are tiktok loansharks.

Listen to the Police.

You need to understand this, whenever you transfer the money using account given, you are considered committing money laundering and abetting loanshark activities. You can claim you are a victim but since you already reported it then there's no excuse. Even if you don't report it, if other victims report it and police trace it back to your bank account, you are in trouble with the law.

We can confirm the bank account is from someone selling their bank information/account to the loansharks.

That put you or your maid into being involved to loanshark activity as an active participant.

Chargeable offence. Worry more about getting arrested than getting harassed by loanshark.

can anyone advise ever experience, that principal amount a few hundred (in my helper case $250), not repaid to these tiktok loansharks, after a few weeks these loansharks will give up and move on to next victim?

or they die die want back their principal amount? also if helper is no longer in SG, will they give up eventually?

cause amount not big, i cannot imagine they put in so much effort for 250$ principal amount

Quick answer is yes, they will move on.

Provided you follow the instructions explained by many here. Basically, report, ghost and wait out any harassment.

Those that gave advices are past victims helping out. All have experienced harassments in one form or another.

Though not tiktok loansharks to be specific, we deem all of them loan scams, no matter what media platform used.

Some of us even owe thousands or paid thousands before finally ghosting them.

Scroll back at least few months back worth of post to understand. $250 is not worth their effort to not move on.

 

[tinwhistle83]

thank you.

have not received any messages or calls from them the past 2 days. and its only less than 1 week since this harassment started.

yet to experience any COD pranks as well. wondering if this is really over or calm before the storm

My unit kena before when one of the neighbors involved with loanshark. End up whole level kena disturbed. I even caught someone in action locking one of the innocent neighbors unit. Called the police, then next day, kena phone harassment.

The thing is for whatever reasons, the person who called my house, somehow know the details of who staying in my unit (we not the one involved with loanshark), and say they will find us if we don't help them. I just told them to f off.

From then on, I also lost respect of all adults around me who scolded me for being kaypo to call police and get my family involved. I was like wtf.

Could the runners have sneaked a look/hand at your letterbox's content ? But anyway, still surprising that they knew your landline number

No, almost 99.99% someone dealing with data like those in real estate, telco as an example. They might be another victim forced to provide such info for loan deferment. Confirm breaching PDPA and putting themselves deeper into trouble with both the scammer and the law.
Been proven time and again nothing good will come out from helping these loanscammers.

250 is small sum. They will move on if you keep ghosting them. We have victims here that owed them 5 digits. Just report to police, install CCTV ( important ). Ignore, block and report any suspicious numbers that trying to reach you.
I’d been ghosting them for 5 months. They did send someone came up to took pic of my unit. That’s all. Once they see CCTV, they will hesitate to do any action. They will get caught very soon.
Thanks to all the members here. I took advice from here and I felt free again. Even I lost my previous well paid job and almost got divorced. Now don’t have to wake up everyday to worry about where to get money to pay them.

Hi,
Wanna get some advice here, if I have paid those ls deferment till the principal amount and I’m not able to pay anymore, do I block them and ghost them? And they will start all their harassment activities? Thanks

Caning for scammers and mules on the cards, as Singapore looks to toughen criminal laws

Hope when passed, foreign scammers whom countries have extradiction treaty with Singapore can be brought to justice.

Those caught here, be prepared.
