Loan Scam

Incident took place after searching online and applying interest in getting a legit loan for investment. Contact personnel was via whatsapp and seemed legit but after transferring some "processing" fees, they continue to ask for more that is out of agreement and eventually turned into a cheating case.

Lost few thousands but worst of all is they threaten my household using my address and details. Don't ever reply to a whatsapp or put your interest online.
