In a recent post on August 9, 2025, Fadil Jaidi revealed that a fraudulent incident affecting his family occurred about a week before he shared it on Instagram. The case began when his mother, Mama Ida, received a message from an unknown number claiming to be an old business friend. The message included a profile picture and the same name as the business associate, making it appear convincing. Fadil Jaidi stated that the message contained an invitation to resume business cooperation with his mother. Without suspicion, his mother responded positively to the invitation.

"So if my mom was affected, the story is that my mom has a business friend named A, they hadn't communicated for a long time, and suddenly someone chats my mom using A's name, A's photo, inviting her to do business again. I might think oh this is A." Fadil Jaidi said in the Instagram post.

Shortly after that, figure A sent information about a third party who would contact Mama Ida. The reason given was to handle the invoice and the process of purchasing goods needed for the business. Mama Ida accepted and saved the contact. Communication progressed to the phone call stage. In the conversation, this new party sounded convincing and used urgent language. This became part of the modus operandi to pressure the victim to take action immediately without the chance to verify.

"Then my mom was told, 'Wardah, there will be someone contacting you, later you can communicate with them. I want to take care of the invoice part.' My mom said, 'oh yes, okay.' Finally, she continued chatting with the contact that A provided. After that, there were phone calls and everything, and it felt like she was being rushed." She revealed.

3. Pressure to Cover the Purchase of Goods

After establishing contact, Mama Ida began receiving requests to cover the purchase of goods. The perpetrator claimed that "A" had already sent a sum of money in advance, but there was still a shortfall that needed to be completed for the business process to run smoothly.

Because she was already accustomed to similar business patterns in the past, Mama Ida felt that this scheme was reasonable. Her confidence grew when the perpetrator demonstrated a detailed understanding of how the business that she had previously run with "A" worked.

"Mama immediately believed that she wanted to buy this item but had to cover it first because A, Mama's business partner, had already sent money. So this is still lacking, Mama will add more because usually, the business is like that. So it's like, how could he know how the business works like that. So I think the modus operandi is really bad." She continued.
