Marieann told me that she received a strange sms on her iPhone. The sms is as follows:
"You need a loan? 100% lowest interest rate in town for personal loan. Instant approval. Call xxxxx @ 9xxxxxxx."
I asked her what she thought of it? "Loanshark!" was her immediate reply. Well done! I am very glad to know that she is keeping up with current affairs and knows what is a loanshark lol. Told her to delete the sms and to ignore such smses in the future.
But it is quite unnerving that these loansharks are openly smsing people, making illegal loans very easy to obtain. It is definitely bad news for the families of chronic/ compulsive gamblers. :( Hope the government can look into it...
