Think loan sharking is a minor offence? The courts don't.Judges have described illegal money lending as a 'campaign of terror waged on vulnerable people', 'predatory upon vulnerable, financially poor people' and 'a wicked business preying on the poor in society'.One judge warned an offender: "I have no doubt you are dangerous and if you continue your action you will end up causing serious harm to your victims."These comments are all from real-life prosecutions led by the England Illegal Money Lending Team and show the reality of illegal money lending.It is not a victimless crime. Loan sharks exploit fear and vulnerability for profit.If a loan shark is affecting you or someone you know, contact Stop Loan Sharks in confidence by calling 0300 555 2222 or sending a WhatsApp message to 07700 102773.#stoploansharksengland#illegallending ...
