INFOKU, BLORA –It started from the parents' desire for their children to become civil servants (PNS).
A mother with the initials SIN, 53, a resident of Karangjati Village , Blora City District, was actually deceived.
Unfortunately, SIN actually lost around Rp. 385 million.
Initially, the perpetrator promised SIN that his son could become a civil servant in a government agency in the transportation sector.
Currently, the victim has reported the case to the Blora Police, hoping that the perpetrator will be immediately prosecuted and thoroughly investigated.
The mother's sobs could not be stopped as she told the story of being a victim of fraud by a civil servant broker.
The incident began in 2022, he was offered by Sungkono, a resident of Kunduran District, a massage therapist who was already his regular customer.
"He offered me a link so that my child could become a civil servant," he said.
After the meeting, SIN was invited to go to Jakarta. Then, to meet a person named Bambang or Usnu (nickname) who claimed to be in the President's ring.
SIN increasingly believed. So, the offer to give money was accepted by the victim.
"There was a discussion about the cost (to enter civil service) group III. Offered Rp 250 million, we were immediately asked for a down payment of Rp 50 million," he said.
After that, his son was asked to go to Jakarta to take the civil service entrance test.
At that time, SIN was asked for more money by transferring it to Edy's account number.
"For every test, they keep asking for money, they say it's to make things go smoothly," he said.
Apart from Sungkono, there is also someone named Didik.
The two alleged perpetrators came to SIN's house, asking to make a transfer every time they took a test.
SIN had asked why every test had to be paid for.
However, the two victims assured SIN that the money given was to be shared with the leaders.
"Keep asking until the total is around Rp375 million, transferred to Edy's account. I also believe it, because my child also took a real test," he said. SIN admitted that he started to be suspicious when Eid 2024 was approaching.
Because they asked for more money around Rp 10 million. Even though the test was the last, the reason was to take care of the documents in Semarang for placement.
"I was called the next morning and told to go to Semarang to the BKD (regional personnel agency) office. At that time, I had prepared, but that night it was canceled," he said.
Then SIN reported the fraud to the Blora Police on July 13, 2024.
After the report was processed, there was a summons for witnesses on September 9, 2024.
Allegedly Organized Syndicate Fraudsters
"Witnesses were called, Sungkono, Didik, the driver, and we were called to be questioned," he said.
However, until now there has been no further follow-up and it has been about three months without any further information.
"Yes, hopefully there will be further action on this. Because there have been many victims," he said.
Apart from himself, there are several people who he said were also deceived by the same method.
According to SIN, the perpetrators are an organized CPNS fraud syndicate .
Meanwhile, Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of Blora Police, AKP Slamet, when confirmed, said that his party would first check the report that had been handled by the police.
"I'll check with urmin (administrative matters) first," he said. (Endah/ IST )
