JOHOR BARU: A woman gave her personal details to an illegal moneylender via social media out of curiosity to see how such loans work but regretted it soon after. Lee Yook Moi, 40, learnt her lesson the hard way after her mother’s car and house in Taman Ehsan Jaya here were splashed with red paint, believed to be by a group of illegal moneylenders.

Lee, who works in Singapore, said her 62-year-old mother woke up at 5am on Thursday to a strong paint odour before discovering the damage.
