Fraud or scams circulating on WhatsApp (WA) are now increasingly varied. Most recently, there are scams that promise money just by 'liking' YouTube videos, but in the end it's the victims who will lose money. Scams like this are common in India. Cybercriminals usually spread these deceptive messages via WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Facebook.[1]

Initially, fraudsters will contact potential victims via WhatsApp to offer job vacancies. Fraudsters usually claim to be representatives of global media companies whose names are unknown to many. The vacancies offered are very tempting, users only need to 'like' a YouTube video and will obtain USD $  0.5,- or around IDR 7.000,- per 'like'. Fraudsters promise potential victims can obtain USD $ 60,- or around IDR 898 thousand in a day.[2]

To convince potential victims, fraudsters even send small amounts of money, for example USD $ 2. This money is a payment for completing three tasks where the fraudster will send links to three YouTube videos, then ask the victim to like the videos, and share the screenshots. After that fraudsters enter the second phase where they will ask for the user's personal data to send payments. Then they'll pretend they're having a technical problem in the payment process.[3]

The fraudster then asks the victim to download an application to make the money transfer process easier. The problem is, these applications are usually trojans or malware that can steal personal data. After that the fraudster will ask the victim to send USD $ 1 for verification. It is there that the fraudster will have all of the user's banking data, from OTP, email, bank account, and credit card information.[4]

If you have ever received a message like this, promising a lot of money just by doing a simple job (just by doing 'like' on YouTube videos), you should be suspicious because it could be a scam. As soon as they get money from the victim, the fraudster will immediately delete their WhatsApp account and look for other victims. Be sure to immediately report suspicious WhatsApp accounts like this, and immediately block them so they don't contact you again. Also, don't let your personal number spread on sites or social media in public.[5] 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.

5 Characteristics of Phishing Links That Can Drain Your Bank Account

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Chronology of IDR 654 Million in the Accounts of Klungkung House of Representative Members Dissapear", "Examples of Fraudulent Spam Emails", you may read also "How To Report Online Scammer Or Fraud To The Police In Indonesia" and on this occasion we will discuss about '5 Characteristics of Phishing Links That Can Drain Your Bank Account'.

Cases of digital crime using phishing methods are happening again. Lately, a resident of Bali claimed to have lost more than IDR. 600 million of his bank account. Initially, he received a message in the form of a link on the social network Facebook. The message was on behalf of a bank in the area. When the link is opened, the victim is asked to fill in some data. Instantly, the money in his account was drained. Crimes with this phishing method often use fake links on behalf of certain institutions, agencies or companies. These links usually lead to fake websites or pages that look like the original to trick the victim. After the victim fills in or submits sensitive data via the fake link, the contents of the account can be deducted.[1]

It should be noted in advance, phishing itself is a cyber crime in the form of deception or fraud attempts to obtain sensitive user data. That data, for example, is like account credentials (username and password), debit card data, or credit card data. In order to get this data, one way is to use a link containing a page that is made to look like the original website. When the data has been entered by the victim, the perpetrator will be able to immediately steal it and take over the account. This action is very detrimental to the user. Therefore, we always need to be vigilant with phishing links that are circulating.[2]

Perpetrator can create phishing links in various ways, adjusting the data they want to retrieve. For example, if you want to get debit or credit card data, the perpetrator will create a link that looks like the bank's original website. Even though there are various forms, the fraudulent links can still be recognized. So, what are the characteristics of a phishing link? For more details, here are the characteristics of phishing links that can trick and steal user data. Characteristics of a phishing link that can drain an account:[3]

1. Using a fake website name that looks like the original. The first characteristic of a phishing link is using a fake website name or URL address. The name of the website address from the phishing link is usually made as close to the original as possible. For example, “instagrammm.com”, while the original is “instagram.com”. The use of such fake website name addresses is intended so that unwary victims believe that the link is genuine. 
2. Content does not match the original website Phishing links generally contain more concise content than the original website. The quality of the content is also somewhat worse. This can be seen from the layout of the display and the contents of the writing that are not neat. 
3. Requesting sensitive data As mentioned above, the purpose of phishing is to obtain sensitive user data. Phishing links usually contain only fictitious login pages that ask users to enter account credentials.
4. Account credentials can still be read even if they are wrong Phishing links do not provide a login page that can allow users to enter their account on a platform. The login page listed on the phishing link is only fictitious and serves to collect credential data only. So, if a user enters account credentials in the form of a fake username and password on the login page from a phishing link, they can still be read. 
5. Detected as an insecure website The next feature of a phishing link is that when it is opened a warning appears "connection is not secure" in the browser. The warning indicates that the website is not safe to open because it does not have a security certificate. If you find a link with the above characteristics, you should just ignore it, don't open it and fill in any data there.

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.

5 Most Bizarre Court Cases in US History

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "These are 4 Legal Cases that Have Befallen the Elderly in Indonesia", "5 Interesting Cases that Become the Jurisprudence of the Supreme Court in Indonesia", "The Characteristics of a Fraudulent Investment According to the Financial Services Authority (OJK)", "Examples of Fraudulent Spam Emails" you may read also "How To Report Online Scammer Or Fraud To The Police In Indonesia" and on this occasion we will discuss about '5 Most Bizarre Court Cases in US History'.

Litigation often takes unpredictable turns, as is the case in these lawsuits. Some of these plaintiffs have a legitimate complaint; others just want to use the court system to make a point. Whatever their motivations, it is doubtful they expected to go down in the annals of court history as 'bizarre'.[1] Let's check it out:

1. Trina Thompson v. Monroe College. In 2009 Trina Thompson sued Monroe College for $72,000 because she couldn’t find a job after graduating. She sought $70,000 to reimburse her for the full cost of her tuition plus $2,000 for the stress she endured during her three-month job search. She alleged Monroe College’s Office of Career Advancement did not try hard enough to help her find full-time employment after she completed her studies. Thompson lost her case.
2. Chambers v. God Lawsuit. Nebraska Senator and activist Ernie Chambers made headline news when he filed a lawsuit against God for “widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants.” Chambers filed the suit to show the importance of citizens being able to bring any complaint before a court of law. The case was dismissed because God did not have an address and could not be served with legal notice of the trial.
3. Coffee Company On Ice. Alexander Forouzesh filed a lawsuit against a Seattle based coffee company for putting too much ice in their iced coffees. He alleged that the company was cheating its customers out of the coffee they paid for by overfilling the cups with ice. The suit was dismissed by the judge who said even children understand the displacement of liquid in an ice-filled cup.
4. Cosmetic Company Twisted Up Over Lip Balm. A class action suit against a cosmetic company alleged it is impossible to use the last bit of lip balm in a tube because the twist up mechanism doesn’t twist up far enough. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the complaint because the product label accurately stated how much usable lip balm was in the tube.
5. Woman Sues Government Over Nacho Cheese. In November 2017, a Wichita Falls, Texas woman sued the federal government for $95,000. In 2015, an Air Force Base employee allegedly spilled hot nacho cheese on her finger, causing permanent injuries to her finger that affected her ability to work. She did eventually lose her employment. The suit is ongoing. This list provides some insight into the variety of suits that come in and out of America’s court system. No complaint is too small or too bizarre for a plaintiff to bring to court. If you have a complaint, got to a lawyer and ask for a consultation.

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "The Case of Fake Doctors in Indonesian Soccer", "Case of Boredom at Work", "Contoh Permohonan Pengampuan (Curatele)", you may read also "10 Mega-Corruption Cases with the Largest Losses in Indonesia" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'These are 4 Legal Cases that have Befallen the Elderly in Indonesia'.

A 68-year-old grandfather named Samirin in North Sumatra was sentenced to 2 months and 4 days in prison by the Simalungun Court, Wednesday (15/1/2020). Samirin was convicted after being found guilty of picking up remaining rubber tree sap on a plantation owned by PT Bridgestone. He was proven to have taken 1.9 kilograms of latex which, if converted into rupiah, was around Rp. 17,000. He will sell the sap to sap collectors in order to get money. However, he had not even left the garden area, an officer caught him and took him to the security post. The company also reported it to the police.[1]

Samirin admitted to the judge that he did this because he needed money to buy cigarettes. Legal cases involving the elderly did not only affect Samirin's grandfather. Sad stories about elderly people who have had trouble with the law have happened several times. Here are some of them:[2]

1. The case of Grandma Saulina. Still from North Sumatra, on January 29 last year, a grandmother named Saulina Boru Sitorus (92) was sentenced to 1 month and 14 days by a judge at the Balige District Court, Toba Samosir. The woman who is familiarly called Opung Linda cut down a 5-inch diameter durian tree belonging to her relative, Japaya Sitorus (70), because she wanted to build a grave for her ancestor. However, the judge's decision was questioned because the witnesses presented were the children and wife of the complainant himself. In fact, the people around the site have never seen Japaya plant the durian tree in question. He admitted that he had apologized to Japaya, but he asked for hundreds of millions of rupiah in compensation as a form of peace. Saulina was unable to fulfill the request and finally reported it to the police. Not alone, Saulina's six children were also detained, each of whom was imprisoned for 4 months and 10 days deducted from the prison term.
2. The case of Grandma Asyani. Asyani (70), a resident of Krastal Hamlet, Jatibanteng Village, Jatibanteng District, Situbondo was jailed on December 15 2014. She was found guilty of stealing 7 teak wood that her husband cut down from land Perhutani said was his. Even though he felt that the land was his own, and did not belong to the state-owned company's land. As a result of this, Grandmother Asyani was sentenced to 15 years in prison. However, his party submitted a request for suspension which was granted by the court, so he was declared free on March 16, 2015. Previously, he was already afraid of the threat of punishment that he would receive. "I'm afraid because I want to be sentenced to 15 years in prison, what will happen to me. I can't sleep well. I'm old like this," said Asyani using the regional language.
3. The Case of the Anjol Hasim and Jamilu Nani Couples. Furthermore, the elderly who also stumbled on legal cases in their old age were a husband and wife from Tenggela Village, Tilango District, Gorontalo Regency. They are Anjol Hasim (75) and Jamilu Nani (80) who were proven guilty of stealing 6 bamboo sticks. Both were sentenced to 20 days in city detention as a result of this case. However, the judge only sentenced him to a violation of destroying someone else's area and not an article on theft. That's because the bamboo trees they cut down are actually on their own land that has been sold to other parties. This statement is shown by the sale and purchase agreement.
4. The case of Minah's grandmother. Finally, a legal case involving an elderly person occurred in Banyumas Regency, Central Java. She is Granny Minah (55) who was accused of stealing 3 cocoa pods from PT. RSA worth IDR 2,000. In October 2009, he was sentenced to 6 months in prison. The case was handled by the Purwokerto District Attorney. However, he did not immediately stay in prison and could still work in the garden as usual, as long as the sentence had not been handed down. He has apologized to the company foreman who reported his actions to the police. Minah asked the foreman to bring back the cocoa pods she had brought before. Minah admitted that she did not know that her actions violated the rules, which made her have to deal with the law to that extent.

Police are still hunting for former PSS Sleman team doctor Elwizan Aminudin. As is known, the man who is usually called Amin was exposed as a fake doctor. Sleman Police Chief AKBP Wachyu Tri Budi said the police had summoned Amin for the investigation process. However, Amin did not answer the call and disappeared. Amin is still at large.[1]

"We called/summons (Amin) but apparently he didn't come, and it is suspected that he is now outside the area. We are currently looking for him. He is a DPO (People Search List)," said Wachyu at the Sleman Police Headquarters. So far, continued Wachyu, the police have examined a number of witnesses. Neither from the management of PSS Sleman nor asking for information from the Syiah Kuala Aceh University where Amin claimed to have studied.[2]

From there, the police have also secured several pieces of evidence such as a contract with PSS Sleman and a statement from the university. "We have examined 5 witnesses, both from related management and also evidence that we have secured related to the certificate in question, including a statement from the University of Syiah Kuala stating that the person concerned is not a student from there and several other pieces of evidence" he (Wachyu) said.[3]

The police suspect that Amin is currently outside Java Island. Therefore, his party deployed a special team to hunt down Amin. "We are trying to find the person concerned. We will secure it first because his position is outside the island," said the former Head of the Bantul Police.[4] Previously it was reported that PSS Sleman management finally took legal action and officially reported Elwizan Aminudin to the Sleman Police. Elwizan recently shocked the Indonesian football public when he was exposed as a fake doctor.[5] 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.

The Murder Case of Anjani Bee, which is Still a Mystery

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Unique Case, Accounts of Bird Sellers in Madura Blocked by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK)", "No Name and No Game Case: A Hilarious But True Court Cases You Won’t Believe", "These 5 Types of Online Fraud You Should Avoid", you may read also "5 Interesting Cases that Become the Jurisprudence of the Supreme Court in Indonesia" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'The Murder Case of Anjani Bee, which is Still a Mystery'.

It's been nearly nine months since the death of Marwah Sofiyah alias 'Anjani Bee' whose body was found in the ditch in front of the hotel in Lembang, West Bandung, last March 5 has not yet been revealed. The body of the woman with the 'owl' tattoo, who is a resident of Karajan Village, Karang Hegar Village, Pabuaran District, Subang Regency, was found horribly, covered in sheets and black plastic. Police found a neck wound and bruises on the face.[1]

AKBP (Adjutant chief commissioner of police) M. Yoris Maulana Yusuf Marzuki, who at that time served as the Head of the Cimahi Police, said that this case was difficult to uncover because of a lack of evidence. "We lack witnesses and there is no CCTV at the location where the bodies were disposed of. So we cannot direct the perpetrators of the disposal and murder of the victim," Yoris said, Sunday (26/7/20'). In this incident, the police have examined more than 100 witnesses, including the online taxi driver who last took the victim. "We have examined nearly 120 people but none have been conclusive. We have tried to break all their alibis, but it is still not clear. We have examined all of our close friends, girlfriends and family," said Yoris.[2]

Apart from that, the police also received information that the day before the unfortunate incident, Anjani Bee had met a man in front of a hotel in the city of Bandung. The police immediately checked the list of guests staying the day Anjani Bee met the mysterious man, but nothing. "We have checked all the hotel rooms and even checked one by one the list of guests who stayed that day and the previous day. But nothing leads to the suspected man we are after," he explained. Finally, on November 6, 2020, the Police still have not received any developments regarding this case.[3]

Head of the Cimahi Police Criminal Investigation Unit (Kasatreskrim): AKP (Assistant commissioner of police) Yohannes Redhoi Sigiro said that until now his party was still carrying out developments. But there has been no result that can bring it closer to the perpetrators of this sadistic murder. "Until now, we are still continuing to investigate where, who, and when the victim was killed. But indeed there has been no significant progress," Yohannes said when contacted by detik.com. According to him, it is suspected that the perpetrators of the Anjanii Bee murder were more than one person and were highly trained because the murder was carried out in a very neat manner so that they could disguise the traces of the perpetrators. "Our suspicion is that there was more than one person and was organised. There were different roles for the perpetrators, from those who executed them to those who disposed of the victims. But we are continuing to make efforts to uncover this case," he concluded.[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.

Unique Case, Accounts of Bird Sellers in Madura Blocked by the Corruption Eradication Commission

Team of Hukumindo

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "The New Criminal Code Has Been Passed As Law, Will Be Effective 3 Years Later", "Mengenal Taufiequrachman Ruki, Ketua KPK Pertama", "The 4 Weirdest Judges' Verdicts" you may read also "List of 100 Regional Heads Affected by Corruption Cases by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK)" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Unique Case, Accounts of Bird Sellers in Madura Blocked by the Corruption Eradication Commission'.

This bird seller on Madura Island suddenly couldn't access the money in the bank account where he kept the money. Apparently, there is the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) which ordered the blocking of the bird trader's account in Pamekasan. The account that was 'blocked by the KPK' was a BCA (Central Asia Bank) account belonging to a bird seller from Buddih Village, Pademawu District, Pamekasan, named Ilham Wahyudi. Ilham himself only found out about the blocking when he went to the BCA Pamekasan Branch office, Wednesday (25/1/2023).[1]

In the excerpt of the letter issued by BCA dated January 16 2023 it is stated: Based on a request from the Corruption Eradication Commission as referred to in letter R/35/DAK.01.00/20-23/01/2023, January 11, 2023 regarding opening a blocked account on behalf of Ilham Wahyudi on January 13, 2023. Based on that letter, BCA finally blocked Ilham's account. He can not withdraw money but can receive incoming money. When contacted by detikJatim, Ilham said he was confused and disappointed. He even emphasized that he had never accepted a big, strange project. "I never got any project," said Ilham.[2]

Account Name is the Same as the Name of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Suspect

Ilham's BCA account was blocked because he has the same name as one of the suspects in the East Java (East Java) Provincial Government grants corruption case. "The information we obtained, the name and date of birth of the person concerned happened to be the same as the name of the KPK suspect who submitted a blocking request. The differentiating data is in the address," said Head of KPK Reporting Unit Ali Fikri when contacted, Friday (27/1/2023).[3]

In fact, the bird seller's balance was only IDR 2 million. "My balance so far is just over two million," Ilham told, Thursday (26/1/2023).[4]

From the latest information that the author got from one of the online media, that the block regarding this case has been lifted. Things like this could happen. Case closed. And if you have any legal issue with this topic, contact us then, feel free in 24 hour, we will be happy to assist you.
