The Polda Metro Jaya team uncovers a fraud case with the method of recruiting Bank BNI employees (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The Jakarta Metro Police team uncovered a fraud case with the method of recruiting Bank BNI employees. The perpetrator sent an email using a Gmail account.

"He promised to get people to work through social media but with certain conditions, including some money that must be prepared", said Head of Public Relations of Jakarta Metro Police Kombes Yusri Yunus quoted by Antara, Thursday, March 25.

This case began on February 1 when BNI received a question from a job seeker confirming a job vacancy. However, BNI is not currently opening job vacancies. BNI suspected indications of fraud and reported it to Jakarta Metro Police.

From that report, the police conducted an investigation and arrested one person with the initials MTM. The perpetrator was arrested in South Sulawesi on 20 February.

During the interrogation, the suspect MTM admitted to cheating because of economic motives because he did not have a job.

From the examination, the perpetrator also took the names of Waskita Karya to Angkasa Pura company. The MTM suspect took the name of the BNI bank by writing an email at [email protected] and using the BNI logo in the email.

In his email, the suspect MTM asked the applicants to fill in data and send recruitment requirements, but in the end, the victims were asked to send some money.

"The victim fills in, in the end, there is a transportation fee that must be prepared for job applicants at BNI, by paying IDR 1.7 million to MTM", said Yusri.

MTM is charged with Article 35 and Article 51 of Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE), with the threat of 12 years in prison and a fine of IDR 12 billion.
