Unlicensed Money Lender aka Loansharks
If you are approached by any one claiming to be a legal money lender, please know that they are not. How do we know this for sure? That’s because Ministry of Law does not allow any forms of soliciting for loans. This includes cold calling, approaching you on the streets or even calling existing customers.
Please be very careful when you are taking a loan. Do not go for convenience. Always ensure you find out more about the company before sending any private information. It is very rare for any licensed money lender to ask you for your personal information over the phone. This is due to the PDPA law.
Always approach a licensed money lender to ensure that you know who you are dealing with. And of course, because licensed money lenders must operate via an approved office space.
