Rp400 Million In Cash Suddenly Disappears, A Bank Customer In Makassar Reports To The Police

MAKASSAR - A bank customer in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Sigit Prasetya (31) reported to the police because he admitted that he had lost Rp400 million. The case is still being investigated.

"This has been in my report for a long time. Yesterday, two weeks earlier, I clarified this to the investigator on this matter. The investigator said that the case process in this case is in the investigation stage," said Sigit Prasetya, contacted by VOI, Tuesday, March 16.

This case began when Sigit went to a bank branch office in Panakkukang, Makassar to save Rp400 million in 2018. At that time, Sigit admitted that he was offered a lottery with prizes.

“I received an offer from one of the bank employees to participate in a program (with) direct prizes. I am okay, because I have money, it just so happens that there are funds, ”said Sigit.

While at the bank, Sigit admitted that he was asked to sign a statement regarding the lottery being offered. The money brought for safekeeping has also been counted by the teller.

A few days later, Sigit received a prize from the lottery program in the form of a television.

"I accept, not suspicious, because procedurally I have come in banking, by coming to the bank office, meet the standards and I also did not go through people," he said.

However, after changing years, Sigit could not retrieve the money he had saved.

"So at the end of July 2019 I wanted to use my money. I came to the bank, with the intention of withdrawing my money Rp.400 million. There, I was shocked. Why was it surprised? Because of the statement from the bank that the money was not there and ( I was informed) I had disbursed the money. I never gave the data to anyone, including ATMs, "he continued.

Sigit immediately printed a money account. It records that there are transactions out of money saved in 2018.

"I was shocked to see that the checking account turned out that the money was lost (out) on that day at the time of depositing in 2018," said Sigit.

Sigit chose to report to the police because his complaint to the bank was not followed up.

"At the end of 2020 there was no solution and no good faith. I took legal action to make a police report at the South Sulawesi Police, "he continued.

VOI has tried to confirm the bank regarding what happened to Sigit. But there has been no response from the bank.
