Loan Shark Awareness Training
The Illegal Money Lending Team (also known as Stop Loan Sharks) is a national organisation that investigates and prosecutes illegal money lenders and provides specialist support for people affected by this crime. When people are in desperate need of some quick cash, loan sharks may seem like the answer – but they’re not. Loan sharks are criminals. They don’t care about a person’s situation; they just want to make money out of them. They will pretend to be their friend and make them feel that they are helping them out, but they are not.
They are delivering a training session is to help you understand the world of illegal money lending, to help you spot the red flags for spotting victims of loan sharks and then to signpost them to specialist support.
This is especially important as the current financial climate is affecting so many people and putting them at an increased risk of falling victim to a loan shark.
Stop Loan Sharks have helped thousands of people escape the clutches of illegal money lenders. People can speak to a member of their support team in confidence by calling 0300 555 2222 (24 Hour), emailing [email protected], or via live chat on their website.
