RIAU - The Regent of the Meranti Islands, Riau Province, Muhammad Adil asked his citizens to be wary of fraud on his behalf by promising to be accepted as civil servants (PNS).
"I received a report claiming that the Regent was able to pass as a civil servant. So, I emphasize it was pure fraud," said Regent Adil to reporters in Selatpanjang, Antara, Friday, July 16.
Information about profiteering was obtained some time ago from a resident of Kampung Baru, West Selatpanjang Village, Tebingtinggi District with the initial DI. DI visited the official residence of Regent Adil on Jalan Dorak, Selatpanjang.
At that time, DI reported that he had been contacted by someone who claimed to be the Regent of the Meranti Islands who could help his son pass the civil service. The condition is that DI must transfer a certain amount of money to the perpetrator's account as a facilitation.
Because the perpetrator's explanation was so convincing, the DI victim finally followed the perpetrator's wishes by transferring an amount of up to tens of millions of rupiah to a predetermined account number.
However, because he assessed that the money sent was still insufficient, the perpetrator again asked the victim to transfer an additional tens of millions of rupiah. If previously it was done by means of transfer, now the victim asks to be delivered directly on the grounds that the distance between his house and the residence of the Regent is not that far.
However, the perpetrator refused, and asked the victim to keep sending the requested money by means of a transfer on the grounds that he was busy.
That's where the victim's suspicion arose, who then went to the Regent's house to confirm it. Upon arrival, the Regent admitted that it was not him and only then did the victim realize that he had been tricked.
According to the Regent, to become a civil servant, one must follow the established procedures from registration to taking online tests, so it is very difficult for the process to be played by irresponsible people.
"So, if there are people who claim to be able to pass to become a civil servant through a special route, don't believe it. It must be fraud," he also said.
Subsequently, he reported the incident to the Meranti Police Headquarters for further processing.
