Megan Clark, a young woman from England, initially thought that she would marry a rich businessman. But in the end he found out that the man was a romantic con artist who had left him tens of thousands of dollars in debt. Megan, who is 27 years old and works as a manager in a bar on the Isle of Wight, meets a handsome man called Lord Bertie. Bertie claims to be a descendant of the famous family that owned the Underwood typewriter company. His luxurious lifestyle fascinates Megan. Even though they had only been dating for a month, Bertie immediately invited her to live with him in his luxury villa. After five months, Bertie proposed to Megan, and she accepted.[1]

Because of love, Megan leaves her job and joins Bertie's business claiming to be a clock expert. However, over time, Megan began to suspect some inconsistencies. Letters with unknown names started coming to their house. Unexpectedly, when Megan checked further, it turned out that the name on the credit card in her future husband's wallet was Robert Madjeski, who is a fraudster. After searching on the internet, Megan found out that Lord Bertie was Robert Madjeski's alias. This explains Bertie's request not to post photos of himself on social media, because many people are looking for them. Megan finally realized that everything was a lie. Bertie is not of noble birth, has nothing to do with the world of horology, and all the treasures he displays are simply rentals. In fact, Bertie has trapped Megan in debt amounting to $40,000 or around IDR. 623 million by opening a credit card in her name. The diamond engagement ring that Megan wanted to sell to pay off the debt also turned out to be fake.[2]

When Megan confronted Bertie two weeks before their wedding, he simply left her alone. Heartbroken, Megan is forced to cancel the wedding and look for a way to pay off her debt. After posting her story on social media, Megan received lots of messages from people who had also fallen victim to Bertie's scam. Surprisingly, there was no particular pattern in the type or age of his victims, indicating that Bertie was only looking for profit and never had genuine feelings. Robert Madejski, known by many aliases, was eventually arrested on other charges, but managed to escape from prison while serving a five-year sentence. Even though many years have passed, Megan still feels afraid of one day meeting the fraudster again.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
