JAKARTA - The twins Rinhana and Rihani are said to have earned Rp35 billion from the iPhone buying and selling fraud. From the results of the examination, both of them are known to use the Ponzi scheme.

The ponzi scheme is a mode of giving money or profit to investors from their money or money paid by the next investor.

"It turns out that the results of the temporary examination of the victim we received information that this mode is like a ponzi scheme from resellers," said Director of General Criminal Investigation of the Metro Jaya Police Kombes Hengki Haryadi to reporters, Tuesday, July 4.

The scheme was used by the Riana-Rihani twins by luring cheap prices to resellers. In fact, the comparison can reach hundreds to millions of rupiah from normal prices.

"The range of losses is between 200 and 800 thousand. However, after we studied it temporarily, there were even 3 million of the 1 product offered," he said.

"The price of Rp. 12 million should have been offered Rp. 9 million as persuasion, trickery, series of lies. So as to provide an item," continued Hengki.

On the other hand, Hengki also said that the police were investigating the nominal loss from the fraud that reached Rp35 billion. It is possible that there are still parties who are victims.

"Maybe this is only part of it, whether there are other victims we will investigate again," said Hengki.

Riana and Rihani were arrested at the M-Town Residence Gading Serpong Apartment unit, Tangerang, Banten, this afternoon.

Both of them went viral on social media because they were involved in iPhone fraud with the Pre-Order (PO) mode. The total loss of the victims reached Rp35 billion.

In fact, not long after, another report emerged. The two twins were policed on suspicion of embezzlement of rental cars in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, on January 11, 2023.
