SUKABUMI - Tm Sukaraja Police, Sukabumu, West Java, arrested the alleged perpetrator of fraud by becoming a shaman who could double the money which resulted in the victim losing around ten million rupiah.
"The suspect UH (52) was arrested at the Legoknyenang Village rented house on Monday (3/7) at around 07.00 WIB," said Sukaraja Police Chief Kompol Dedi Suryadi, Thursday, July 6, quoted by ANTARA.
According to Dedi, the suspect's arrest began with the viral broadcast of two 29- and 50-second videos recorded by residents and uploaded to social media.
In the video, residents can be seen gathering to see a number of cardboard boxes wrapped in black plastic stored in front of the suspect's rented house.
Initially, the public suspected that the package contained counterfeit money. Receiving this information, Sukaraja Police personnel immediately went to the location to conduct an investigation.
However, after opening the package, it turned out to contain pieces of paper and garbage. The police, who suspected the practice of multiplying money, then developed this case and managed to catch UH in the rented room.
From the results of the investigation and information from the suspect, a number of packages were used to deceive the victim AB (72), a resident of Ciparay, Bandung. Where previously, UH invited AB to withdraw "mana" or supernatural money around trillion rupiah.
However, to withdraw the money, the suspect admitted that he needed capital for the dukungan procession so that the money from the mandate could be withdrawn worth Rp. 40 million. The tempted victim, let alone promised, will receive a share of Rp. 3 billion without a long thought, handing over his money to UH.
After that, the victim was asked to take the money under his mandate in Legoknyenang Village, which turned out to be in front of the UH rented house on Sunday, (2/7). In order for the victim to believe, the suspect wrapped a number of boxes in black plastic and used brown duct tape.
But the action was immediately crowded by residents who suspected the package contained counterfeit money worth billions of rupiah. It turned out that after being dismantled, the contents were only hard pieces and garbage.
Dedi said that this viral incident was not a case of counterfeit money circulation, but a fraud with the modus operandi of a money multiplier shaman. Where the suspect claims to be a shaman who can withdraw magical money to deceive the victim.
