A member of the Regional People's Legislative Council (DPRD) of Klungkung Regency, Bali, named I Wayan Misna (56), admitted that he had lost IDR 654 million in his account. He is suspected of being a victim of fraud with a phishing link mode sent by the perpetrator via social media Facebook. Head of Bali Police Public Relations, Kombes Pol Stefanus Satake Bayu Setianto revealed that the victim initially checked the balance in his bank account on January 27, 2023 Then, Wayan Misna received a message via Facebook containing a link on behalf of the regional bank in Bali.[1]
Wayan then fills in the data on that link. Instantly, the money in his account was drained. "The person concerned is waiting for a transfer (from someone) and he opens Facebook. Then there is a link about the bank. (He clicks) Then he is asked to enter data, and then the account was drained, it turned out the link was fake," Satake told reporters on Thursday.[2]
Applications cannot be accessed Satake said, on January 30 2023 at around 11.00 WITA (East Indonesian Time), this member of the PDI-P faction (Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle) wanted to make transactions through the mobile banking application. However, the application cannot be accessed. At the same time, he was contacted by the bank because he saw a transaction coming out of his account in a large amount at 11.49 WITA. In fact, the victim admitted that he had never made that many transactions. "The bank then sent a soft copy of the account which showed that there were many money transfer transactions coming out of the victim's account," he said.[3]
The member of the PDI-P faction then reported the incident that happened to him to the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation (Ditreskrimsus) of the Bali Police, attaching several pieces of evidence such as a photocopy of his ID Card and a photocopy of his account book. "Due to this incident, the victim suffered a loss of IDR. 654,000,000,-" said Satake.[4] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us then, feel free in 24 hour, we will be happy to assist you.
