Loan sharks allegedly put up 'God of Fortune' poster at Yishun HDB lift lobby, doxxing man's name & address

A man in Yishun who owed money to loan sharks was allegedly sent bags of cement and funeral wreaths, and had his name and address doxxed on a "God of Fortune" poster at his lift lobby.

He has since lodged a police report over the alleged harassment.

"God of Fortune" poster

The poster was spotted on Nov. 20 at Block 476B Yishun Street 44, Shin Min Daily News (Shin Min) reported.

It reportedly advertised a "meditation retreat" for "Huang, the God of Fortune".

The poster also showed a man's photo and address, and indicated that those interested could go upstairs to enquire.

A note pasted on the poster reportedly accused the man of being a swindler and sex offender, and listed the names and contact details of him and his supposed "assistants".

The poster had been removed by the police.

Loan sharks sent cement, funeral wreaths: Man

Huang (transliteration), a 42-year-old delivery driver living at the address, denied being "Huang, God of Fortune" or "Master Huang" as alleged by the poster.

Huang told Shin Min that police had removed the poster after he lodged a report about loan shark harassment.

Huang claimed that he had borrowed S$8,000 from loan sharks at the start of 2025, but has since paid off the sum.

However, the loan sharks are demanding an additional sum of over S$10,000, according to Huang.

Huang said this was not the first time he had been the target of loan shark harassment.

Previously, loan sharks sent him funeral wreaths to curse him, alleged Huang.

"A few weeks ago, I also received several bags of cement, which were piled up at my door, causing inconvenience," Huang said.

Police report made

Following this, Huang's father spotted the poster which doxxed his name and address at the lift lobby, and notified Huang.

Huang then made a police report after work the same day.

"The same night, the loan sharks harassed me over text, threatening to make my life miserable in various ways if I did not pay them back," said Huang.

Huang added that he has installed a CCTV camera at his unit to hopefully deter the perpetrators or catch them in the act.

Turned to loan sharks after business failed

The repeated harassment has brought him and his family a lot of grief, Huang told Shin Min, adding that he feels "guilty" and "helpless".

According to Huang, he used to run a logistics company, but was in dire straits financially after the business failed and lost his initial investment.

Huang subsequently turned to loan sharks due to the financial pressures and to support his three children.

"I had no choice but to borrow money, but I never thought I would fall into a bottomless pit. What saddens me the most is that I've dragged my wife and children down with me," Huang said.

"I feel powerless to do anything. All I wish is that they will not implicate my family, and stop the harassment."

In response to Mothership's queries, the police confirmed that a report was lodged and investigations are ongoing.
