Guys, the purpose of me opening this topic is to remind all of you and please inform your friends and family as well, to avoid borrow money from Ah Long. For those who wonder how these Ah Long squeeze people, here's the story, quite long and I'll try to make it short.

Yesterday 8/8/2023, a friend of mine call me asking if I can meet him, urgent he said. So we meet up at a place, then he ask me to borrow him RM3000. I ask him why? He told me the whole story about he borrow RM3000 from Ah Long via online, no paper work no signature no black and white. I ask again how can he be so careless, agreeing to this kind of crazy deals. Now my friend here aren't an alcoholic, a gambler, or addicted to any negative stuffs. He know it's a stupid idea but he needs money that time, found out about this loan online and go ahead with it. Within 30 days, he must pay off the RM3000 in lum sum, simple to said borrow RM3000 but must pay back RM3000 within 30 days. So yesterday at 8/8/2023, is the due date. I helped him sold his computers, ipad and some other gadgets. We collected about RM2000+ because we sell these items dirt cheap, instantly got call and PM from various buyers. He manage to borrow few hundreds from his friends to make it RM3000.

Now here's the most fucked up part, by logic before 12am, the date will still remains 8/8. So he still have couple of hours to pay up the RM3000 right? Nope, the Ah Long literally said this "If follow market, other people charge interest RM1000 per hour.". I don't want to share the chat between him and the Ah Long here because he's already in miserable state, but that's the message he showed me. That text is before 12am, the date still 8/8 but to the Ah Long it's times up. They ask him to pay another RM4000 even after he paid the RM3000 before 12am 8/8 because of his "late payment", so it's RM3000 + RM4000 = RM7000 to them. You see, to this Ah Long, after 12am or no, they still charge you late interest because they feel you late to pay them back. All this in whatsapp and I ask him to screenshot all the chat as the Ah Long later might delete it, and if that happened he might get into trouble as he got no evidence against the Ah Long. Yes I know, our law aren't so good against Ah Long but I still ask him to do so just in case. After that I told him don't pay the RM4000, go to PPIM and tell them what happened. He paid on the last day of the 30 days, yet because the Ah Long feels like he's late to pay and they simply ask him to pay another RM4000. I think now he already in PPIM office, hope they can figure something out.

You guys might have question,
- What he did with the RM3000? He don't want to tell me but he assure me that the RM3000 aren't for those bad things, I know him for so long, so I believe him.
- Why he never ask his family, friends or company for help? He said he did, but non of them able to help that day before he go to Ah Long.
- Did I borrow money to him yesterday? No I didn't because I also needed money as I will be buying another car soon. But I did help him get around RM2000+ by helping him selling off his computer and gadgets.

This thread is to raise awareness, if you guys have any Ah Long stories, feel free to share it here so that others know how fucked up these Ah Long are in reality.

Hi TS, when you reach to ah long, it's impossible to borrow RM3000 and pay back RM3000. Atleast RM3300 (10%) and above for the interest only, not including late payment FYI

But I wonder why Police don't catch those illegal money borrower, seems so easy.

1. Call the number in those ad.
2. Arrange meeting to make loan.
3. As soon money is transferred from Ah Long to undercover cop customer. Make arrest or as Bank Negara to freeze account if the account/person is not legal money lender.

maybe local district can fine them to put up illegal banner la, but local district enforcement tak kuat also one
