Fraud can happen anywhere and at any time, even through online durian sites that don't seem suspicious. This unfortunate incident happened to a woman from Singapore named Xu. He was cheated out of SGD 53,780 (IDR. 596 million) when he wanted to buy durian on an online site.[1]

This 50 year old woman initially saw a durian advertisement on Facebook. At that time he was tempted to buy Musang King durian at a price of SGD 6 (IDR. 66,527) which was considered very cheap. He was told to send money using the application requested by the seller.[2]

Because the application had an error, Xu entered it several times. But the employee reported that the payment had not been successful and told him to go to the bank. Not long after he made another transaction to buy food, Xu was surprised to find a withdrawal of SGD 53,780 (IDR. 596 million).[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.
