Why people fall into loan scams

Many victims are not careless. They need cash, search online, see a convincing loan ad, and are told the process is easy if they pay a fee first. That is where the trap begins.

A KPKT licensed money lender should be verifiable through a real office, official phone, official website, Google Business and a clear agreement process. Do not rely only on a WhatsApp number.

Common warning signs

  • Advance payment, deposit, processing fee, insurance fee or tax fee before verification.
  • Cheque appears in account but is not cleared or withdrawable.
  • Loan app scam asking for contacts, photos, SMS or personal data access.
  • Someone misuses a bank name, licensed company name, identity or fake agreement.
  • Threats or ah long harassment after a simple enquiry.
