Loan Scam
In brief on 12 Feb 2020, I received a SMS from the money lending company that it provides loans. The SMS stated as No late charges and No deposit with the maximum loan of $100,000

As my F&B business failed very badly, I decided to take up the loan to pay up all my outstanding debts. I decided to contact the financial adviser by the name of Elbert from JML Credit Solutions, License no. 201900883G and I took up a loan of $50,000 with repayment of $920 per month for 5 years.

The loan didn’t happen after making a deposit of multiple transfer to the various unknown accounts adding up a lost of $6110. They denied that I have made the payment and would want me to pay another $2400. I refuse to however, I received a death threat from them and that resulted me to report this matter to the police. Two detailed police reports were lodged, F/20200301/7001 and F/20200301/7002.
