His Name is Used for Fraud Mode, Ikmal Tobing Speaks Out

Kapanlagi.com - Musician and drummer Ikmal Tobing recently experienced an unpleasant incident. Apparently, the name of the T.R.I.A.D drummer has been used by an unknown person to commit fraud.

Ikmal is the drummer of the band T.R.I.A.D, which is led by Ch Pramita, Wahyu Sudiro, Prinzes Amanda, Tarash Bistara, and Ahmad Dhani. Not only T.R.I.A.D, this 32-year-old man is also known as a member of the band Mahadewa.

It turns out that the identity of the owner of the full name Rajasa Ikmal Tobing has been used twice for fraud. Recently, Ikmal mentioned that the fraudster acted in the middle of the night by sending a short WhatsApp message to his manager, Ine Firyanie.

When met in the Senayan GBK Stadium area, Central Jakarta, on Monday night (3/1), Ikmal Tobing revealed that this case has been reported to the authorities. "First, my Instagram account was hacked and the perpetrator asked for money to be sent. Now my name is being used again."

"The perpetrator made a mistake when sending a message to my manager using a number that is not mine. He borrowed money," said the drummer of the band T.R.I.A.D. Fortunately, when the fraudster acted, the money had not been sent to the perpetrator. Therefore, Ikmal reported this case to the authorities.

2. Not Only Ikmal Tobing

Apparently, there is another victim besides Ikmal Tobing, namely the senior singer Vina Panduwinata. The modus operandi used by the perpetrator is also the same, which is hacking the Instagram account of the singer of the song Burung Camar and then borrowing money from several of her social media followers.

"What I experienced on Instagram, a few months ago, was also experienced by Mama Ina (Vina Panduwinata)," said Ikmal Tobing.

Ikmal also stated that fans and followers of Vina Panduwinata have also become victims of the fraud. "So they were hacked, and then the fans of Mama Ina (Vina Panduwinata) were affected. Finally, money was transferred. And the usual amount is between 2 million (IDR) and 2.5 million (IDR). That's his characteristic," he said.

Ikmal hopes that the authorities can soon uncover the perpetrator, who is suspected to be part of an organized network. "Until now, it is still being investigated. Yesterday, during a discussion, it was still being searched for, and my friend, Mas Edwin Cokelat, also experienced the same number. But he changed his name, the number is his own," he said.
