“Ilegal online lending already caused many victims. We have received 300 reports. After we verified it, we confirmed there are 93 victims,” explained Kabid Humas Polda Kalbar from their Headquarters.
Commissioner Tompo said that this illicit online lending spread their offering message, through messages, to the phone number of their victims. When their victim opens the message, they are automatically listed as their customer.
They promised proper tenor and due, but in truth, even before due, they have been billed to pay debts that they do not really want.
If they did not pay immediately, the debt could multiply much higher, even twice times than the initial debt. The perpetrators then terrorized the victim with verbal abuse and spread slander to the family and friends of the victim.
