JOHOR BARU: Those seeking loans must go to registered financial institutions and submit necessary documents instead of applying via social media or over the phone, said Iskandar Puteri OCPD Asst Comm Dzulkhairi Mukhtar. He urged the public to be careful as there were many scammers and conmen waiting to take advantage of gullible and desperate people.

He said applicants must go personally to the financial institutions they choose to apply and submit documents.
