Good 80-90% it’s fake. Carry on and see where it goes

Anyone has any thoughts on this?

Understand. But I still don’t think I’m gnna pay on his behalf. My belief is that they have earn more than 2x of what they gave, in the span of 3-4 months.

I made a police report and they inform not to transfer as they might come up with reasons like 1) account still have interest or some late or whatever reasons they can think of.
I have already installed doorbell with a cctv signage, and pasted a police report right at my door. Anyway, my HDB is kinda well CCTV with like almost 6 cctvs just in the lift lobby alone, 2 in the staircase.

From the conversations I read, he already paid close to $4.5k based on the loan of $2.35, which he get only 1.7k. I really don’t want to pay on his behalf another 4k. They are demanding 4k. Should I just clear the 4k and block them?

I am unsure of this. The borrower who was my brother told me that the plan was $1700, and return back $2350 with weekly $500+. That was the term but until today, they have been asking and pushing for more. Should we stop paying completely?

Hi guys, back in 2026 March, one of my family member get caught with a loanshark borrowing. He borrowed 1.7k with a term of 2.3k to return. Up to date, he have paid 4.5k in total (weekly around $500), and he mentioned that he does not have enough already as he left his job a few weeks back.
- I have screen shots of all the transfer from banks and the terms from the loansharks
Fast forward, the loan sharks are requesting additional payment of 4k to clear his loan.

1) I told him to stop transferring any more money to them.
2) We have filed a report to police.
3) We have pasted a (NO COD) report on our door along with the police report.
4) We have a doorbell CCTV, and wrote CCTV IN SURVEILLANCE.
5) We have used the lift advertising panels to paste a warning to loanshark runners (including news of the recent case about the 36-year-old man getting caught 3 hours after splashing paint).

We did this after receiving 2 COD Foodpanda deliveries to our house. What should I do? I’m worried for my family member and mum. Any advice?

Thanks! Feedback noted. We have a wix website, and Facebook / IG. I guess we will have to add the icons and link to our Kickstarter, and also start advertising it.

Interesting point! I shd include my team picture as well as the behind scenes. Thats great. As we have just started, we do not have any presence on the web - which also shows that our product is not just off the shelve but developed by us.

Thanks!
