JOHOR BARU, June 6 — An elderly married couple here has logded a police report after claiming that they had been threatened by a scammer posing as an Ah Long or loan shark. The 45-year-old single mother said the incident was believed to have stemmed from her 20-year-old nephew, who tried to apply for S$3,500 loan from eight Singapore-based financial institutions on April 22.She said all the institutions were using the same tactic of imposing a ‘test payment’ on borrowers and the loan amount would be increased for overdue payments.
“So far, a total of S$6,790 has been paid to the eight institutions, but no loan has been granted,” she told reporters at a media conference organised by Pasir Gudang MCA Public Complaints Bureau deputy chief Ang Tun Chek here today.
