Through his YouTube channel, Baim Wong tells the chronology of events. At that time, he and his team were shooting their latest YouTube content. And at one location, Baim saw an online motorcycle taxi driver pushing his motorcycle.

Unable to bear it, Baim immediately offered help to the person. He gave some money to the online motorcycle taxi driver.

Initially, Baim did not believe that he was actually deceived. According to him, Baim himself claimed to be someone who is not easily deceived.

"I don't believe it. How could I be deceived? Just from the way he was panting, not wanting to do good things. His eyes, everything. It's like he's really professional," he said.

2. Another Victim

Initially skeptical, Baim finally saw another video similar to his own. From the movements of the fake motorcycle taxi driver, it was finally known the mode of his deception.

What made it even more certain that the motorcycle taxi driver was a fraud, besides the same mode, the license plate and the vehicle used were exactly the same as those in Elang Motovlog's YouTube content.

"Well, the license plate is the same. Wow, this person is messed up," he said.

Apparently, the news reached the ears of the Jakarta online motorcycle community. Through a message on WhatsApp, the chairman of the Jakarta Online Motorcycle Guard conveyed a message and apologized to Baim Wong.

"We apologize if there are individuals among the motorcycle taxi drivers who take advantage of Baim's kindness and generosity for their personal gain, which makes Baim and his team uncomfortable," Igun wrote.

4. Already Forgave

Although he was initially angry with the fraudulent motorcycle taxi driver, Baim Wong admitted that he has forgiven them. He believes that it is their sin, and the most important thing is that Baim had good intentions and wanted to help.

"We shouldn't be too attached to material things. If it's lost, it's lost. I often say to Paula, if it's lost, it's lost. If it's stolen, it's stolen. After all, it becomes their sin. I don't want to think negatively; I just want to focus on the positive. Hopefully, it becomes a blessing for them," he said.
