This incident started when grandmother Xabiru Oshe Al Hakim wanted to leave her luxury Hermes bag to be bought. Because F was in Hong Kong for a business trip at that time.

"I am friends with him (F), he is in Hong Kong, on a business trip with a socialite there. He is at a famous bag boutique (Hermes), I said, 'Can you please buy it for me?' He said, 'Sure' and even recorded a video of the bag. Because he recorded it at the store, I believed him," said Vien Tasman.

Because she trusted her friend's words, without much thought, the mother of the celebrity Rachel Vennya immediately transferred a sum of money. However, it turned out that after that, F also offered other items for himself.

"When I agreed with the first bag, he offered something else, and then I asked him to record it, he said, 'I can't because it's difficult.' I made sure, 'Is it really from that store?' He said, 'Yes'," she said.

Actually, the incident happened in November 2019, coinciding with the riots in Hong Kong, so F claimed that the transaction at the store was hindered. Vien also mentioned that F admitted to intending to return to Hong Kong to complete the transaction but instead went on a trip to Makassar, claiming that Hong Kong was still difficult to visit.

"We met, and he didn't bring his bag. So I asked where it was, and he said it was hindered by the turmoil in Hong Kong. He paid using two cards, the first one worked but the second one had a blackout and error. He said he wanted to refund the money but had to wait for two weeks. I wanted to refund it right away, but he insisted that it would take two weeks, 'Are you sure it's two weeks?' he said," Vien explained.

"Turns out he lied about buying it in Hong Kong, but actually bought it from a socialite who is also a doctor. The one who brought the bag was the doctor's assistant. I saw the proof of purchase, it was from Madrid in March (2019). It turns out that the bag was already old and was bought in Madrid. I told him that if he bought it from a reseller, I have many friends who sell them. I wanted it from a store and authentic," she concluded.
