KUWAIT CITY, Jan 20: A Kuwaiti man recently visited the premises of Al-Rai daily to narrate his experience with loan sharks, reports Al- Rai daily. The man explained that it began when he failed to pay debts to a bank. Through a Kuwaiti man, a Syrian expatriate offered to help by giving him a loan worth KD 70,000 in return for a low interest rate, provided he signed a promissory note. He agreed and signed on the note without actually receiving the money, because the loaner promised to give him the money. However, he disappeared for a short time and then returned to ask him to sign a new promissory note under the pretext that the previous one was damaged when his wife put it in the washing machine by mistake. He realized the game and refused but he was shocked when he discovered that he was wanted by law because the loan shark had filed a lawsuit against him. The loaner later met him again and promised to help settle the issue if he was given KD 5,000, a new game that did not complete. The citizen decided to submit his story to the media in order to warn others against becoming victims of loan sharks.
