IK, who reported to the Tapin Police, admitted that he was interested in having a long-distance relationship with the defendant because he was a doctor who was later found to be fake.

"Only five days of dating, it turns out that the perpetrator's rotten intentions have begun to be launched. The perpetrator borrowed money from the victim," saidtipel.

He continued, the defendant had also come to Tapin, as an effort to convince victims who were fascinated by the defendant's profession. Even IK was promised to be married.

However, the promise to marry IK ran aground. Meanwhile, the money sent by the victim on the grounds that the defendant borrowed a total of Rp206 million was not replaced.
