A number of Jambi residents who were victims of online investment through the Boks City Drama application came to the Jambi Police, Sunday, February 23. They made a report on the fraud they experienced.

This investment mode uses a ponzi scheme, where victims are asked to invest and recruit new members with the lure of big profits.
