Loan sharks have many faces – make sure you know who’s behind the mask

What does a loan shark look like to you?

The chances are the image that springs to mind is the TV soap gangster. But in reality they are not always that easy to spot.

They could just as easily be that neighbour who always stops to chat, a parent who you know from the school gate, a popular work colleague, even a long-standing family friend.

The one thing they have in common is that they are expert manipulators and masters of deception, often befriending victims and offering a quick-fix loan. Please contact Stop Loan Sharks England for more information
