Illegal money lenders (loan sharks) may look to take advantage of those who are most vulnerable at this time and who feel that they have nowhere else to turn for help.
If you work with vulnerable people and suspect that they may have borrowed money from a loan shark and are struggling to pay it back, the Scottish Illegal Money Lending Unit can give you advice and support.
Their 24-hour confidential hotline will remain open 7 days a week throughout the lockdown period: 0800 074 0878.
