Angel Karamoy's Name Exploited for Fraud, There Are Already Victims!

Kapanlagi.com - The popularity of an artist is often exploited by the public for personal gain, regardless of whether the methods used are wrong or violate the rules. Like what happened to Angel Karamoy recently.

The story goes, there was an irresponsible person who used the name of the 33-year-old woman on Facebook. After that, the perpetrator tried to deceive her followers by borrowing money and the like.

"My Facebook (was hacked). So there was someone who was irresponsible, he created a fake Angel Karamoy account on Facebook and it was misused. Luckily my sibling told me about it. He borrowed money, posted inappropriate photos, and all sorts of things. I immediately made an announcement on IG that it was a hoax," said Angel when met at the Trans TV building, South Jakarta, Thursday (23/1/2020).

1. Already Claimed Victims

The scam even claimed victims. And from that incident, the victim tried to confirm the authenticity of the account, until it was finally discovered that the account was a hoax.

"There was someone who fell for it, my sister's friend. Coincidentally, the person who fell for it knows my sister. When it was confirmed, we found out it was fake," said Kezia Karamoy's sister.

After being discovered, the perpetrator immediately 'ran away' by deactivating their account. Since there were no more victims, Angel chose not to pursue this case legally.

"As an entertainer, if we create an Instagram account, like Angel Karamoy or something, there are already many, it can't be avoided. But what's important is that if there are things like this, we have to respond, provide information, and clarify," she concluded.
