DENPASAR - Three foreign nationals (WNA) are suspected of being victims of visa extension fraud in Bali. The Caucasians suffered losses of up to Rp. 8.4 million.

The three victims are Peralta Juan Carlos (25) and Bonnel Patrick (26) from Canada and Dalia El Beani (35) from Australia. They were allegedly deceived by an Indonesian citizen with the initials KP.

"It's true, it was just reported," said Head of Public Relations of Denpasar Police Iptu Ketut Sukadi, Monday, May 23.

The incident occurred on Monday, April 25, 2022 at Jalan Bidadari, Seminyak, Kuta District, Badung Regency, Bali.

At that time, the three Caucasians asked the perpetrators for help in arranging a visa extension. The victim then handed over the money by transfer to the perpetrator through BNI for IDR 7 million and a transfer through Bank Permata for IDR 1,400,000.

However, until now the visa has not been issued, while the money that has been given is also not returned. The three victims then reported the case to the Denpasar Police.

"Of course we will investigate the extent of the truth regarding the report," said Sukadi.
