Jakarta – After securing two suspects for fraudulent deposit services (jastip) selling Coldplay concert tickets, the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation (Ditreskrimsus) Polda Metro Jaya will coordinate with Bareskrim Polri. This step is a form of response to the many reports of similar cases.
“Later we will coordinate with the National Police Headquarters (regarding the coldplay concert ticket jastip fraud case),” said the Director of the Special Criminal Investigation Department of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Pol Auliansyah Lubis to the media crew, Tuesday, (23/5).
He continued, currently investigators are still focusing on studying the police report (LP) in Polda Metro Jaya. Based on the data, at least 60 people were victims.
“The LP that was with us before. We don’t know (the report at Headquarters is the same perpetrator or not),” said the jasmine officer who graduated from the Tunggal Panaluan Battalion Panaluan Police Academy 1994.
As is known, the high public interest in watching a concert by a British band, Coldplay, turned out to be used by a handful of criminals to commit fraud.
The married couple ABF (22) and W (24) who were arrested by the Ditreskrimsus Polda Metro Jaya is an example. One of the victims of this couple’s scam has the initials NAFP (25). The victim was captivated by the posting of the Twitter account @findtrove_id which posted the Coldplay concert ticket check service.
Moreover, the account has quite a lot of followers. In fact, there are posts regarding the success of the account owner in selling tickets.
Victims who are interested are directed to communicate via WhatsApp messages. Furthermore, victims are required to deposit IDR50,000 after ticket sales are officially opened. The reason is that it is a bookslot.
After that, the suspect told the victim that the Coldplay concert tickets that were ordered were already there. Then the victim is asked to pay for the ticket in full.
But in fact, after the victim paid off the ticket, it was never given. In fact, the suspect promised to send an e-ticket within 1 hour after payment. Bembo
