Chitchat Ah Long Harasses Debtors By Ordering Lots and Lots of Good Via Food Delivery Services! Will U Now Pay Up?

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE - Even with the circuit breaker measures in place to limit the spread of the coronavirus, loan sharks have found a way to pester people who owe them money.

The police are now seeing a rising trend of unlicensed moneylenders using food delivery services to harass debtors here.

In a statement on Wednesday (April 22), the police said that these illicit moneylenders would order large amounts of food, or make multiple orders a day, to be delivered to the debtors' homes, often late at night.

Occasionally, the moneylenders would order the food to be delivered to the debtors' relatives.

The deliverymen would then request payment from the debtors or their relatives for the food.

Because of this tactic, several food and beverage operators using food delivery services have suffered losses, the police said.

Commenting on the matter on Facebook, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Home Affairs Amrin Amin said: "I know times are bad. But please don't fall prey to vultures.

"You may receive SMSes, WhatsApp (messages) or e-mails offering loans. These are scams or scums (referring to loan sharks)... Licensed moneylenders can't advertise this way," he added.

It’s stupid of the grab people. Shld just insist on payment before delivery.

If you can orlar something without paying and sent to a different place as the orlarler then the problem lies with the food delivery apps / companies and not any others KNN

We need to make it an acceptable culture that when you kill a shark, you become a hero.

Another point. Why is the app companies not limiting such orders. ? N orders above a certain amount must be paid immediately. These tactics was used by the SS to gain protection money. But being used by loan sharks is ridiculous. And why is the gahmen not arresting loan sharks etc?

Cash on delivery?? So the delivery guy pays the restaurant first then collect from the customer??

That doesn't make any business sense

Then the delivery guy has to go back to the seller? That's an extra stop when he could be making another delivery..
