I was browsing for money lending options and i received a message from a loan consultant claimed to be from “jm? credi?”. Did a quick look up from ministry of law website, and saw the license number tally with the letterhead provided on the loan application, therefore i assured that it was a licensed money lender. Started engaging with the representative on monday (19 april 2021). Upon receiving "official agreement", they requested for further payments due to i'm an e-pass holder. Over the days, amount of random "fees" gradually increase amounted to sgd $22,000. Eventually i figured that this group of scammers are imposters, using other's licensed company name to convinced that they are from that company
