Loan Scam Impersonation Scam
Our helper responded to sms by a Harry Koh dated 4 dec, advertising for a personal loan. Upon clicking the link, there was another sms offering a loan. She was asked first to pay a registration fee of $400 to be transmitted to uob 658-371082-2.

Then, she was asked to sign a loan agreement under "365 credit solutions", which is a real company whose identity and forms the scammer stole, and to transfer another $400 to activate the account.

Feeling something is wrong, she wanted to cancel the loan application and was told to pay $1000 cancellation fees. She came to us for help, and when we called the scammer harry koh, he threatened us that he was a loanshark. We then lodged a police report and called the company "365 credit solutions" who informed us that they have received a few complaints on this. We also called UOB to notify them of this fraudulent account.
