News - Page 9 of 71 - Stop Loan Sharks

When Elf on the Shelf met Shark at the Park, they got on like a house on fire and became good friends, with Shark helping Elf with a few festive prank ideas.Loan sharks can often befriend borrowers, building up a relationship of trust.

It was only later that things turned sour.#keepyourw-elfontheshelf #sharkatthepark #StopLoanSharks ... See MoreSee Less
