“I didn’t borrow money from anyone!” – M’sian Gets Her Car Wrongly Splashed With Red Paint

Loan sharks typically intimidate their “clients” by splashing red paint on their cars or houses if they have not settled long overdue debts. Red signifies death, and loan sharks will do whatever it takes to remind you of the consequences if you try to run away from your debts.

A Malaysian woman recently found her beloved white Suzuki Swift splashed with red paint.

But here’s the thing. She has not borrowed money from anyone at all!

In her Xiao Hong Shu (RED) post @海利利?, the woman said she received a call from her brother who told her about the fate of her white car. She initially thought it was another prank but immediately ran out to see her car after her brother assured her that it was nowhere near a joke.

She usually parks her Swift at her neighbour’s house. According to her, the house hasn’t been occupied for nearly 5 years, and her family is in the process of buying the house.

“So, I am not taking up anyone’s space.”

Surprisingly, the perpetrator left a note on the passenger’s window. The note was a reminder for the empty house’s previous owner.

“Owe me money! Pay back!”

If it was indeed the previous owner’s debt, why did the loan shark appear 5 years later? The woman herself has no idea.

In a brief conversation with WORLD OF BUZZ, the woman said she immediately lodged a police report after the incident.

She also tried contacting the number left on the note but no one picked up.

“It’s a Singaporean number. I called it many times but no one bothered to pick up the call.”

She also told WORLD OF BUZZ that she would be posting a continuation of the incident after she fixes her car.

Could it be the scammers’ new modus operandi or the previous owner of the unoccupied house has unsettled debts that troubled the others?
