Helper borrowed $xxx from a loanshark/ah long & they are threatening to destroy our house
My helper has been with us 10+ years, so she’s basically a member of the family. She borrowed $xxx from a loanshark without informing us and gave our personal details (address, names) to him as he asked for them when she was taking the loan.
We only found out about this recently when the loan shark started calling one of my family members and screaming at them over the phone. The family member didn’t even know what was going on. Then our helper told us.
This is her first time doing anything like this and she didn’t even realise that it was illegal/illicit and she feels terrible.
We have filed a police report, but the loan shark keeps:
Sending Lalamove and grab drivers to our home and puts cash on delivery so the drivers come expecting payment. Police has advised us not to pay and to tell the drivers to file a report with grab/lalamove but I feel terrible for them.
Sending threatening messages to and missed calling my helper/ the family member whose phone number she gave from multiple phones. Like vile horrible stuff saying I hope you die, horrible vulgarities, sending videos of people burning down homes and saying this is gonna happen to you, saying he’s gonna send people to our home etc.
Police is advising us to block any phone numbers that they contact us from and just wait for them to investigate.
Has anyone had an experience with anything like this? Can it get physical/violent? My family is a bit scared given all the threats. Any recommendations based on experience as to what we should do?
