It all started when Kaesang received a message in his Instagram DM from an account named "Rekening Hanya BCA" informing him that Kaesang had won an online lottery.
The account then requested to immediately send money to the account that was already recorded within 1x24 hours on September 1, 2020, to an account named Aan Ramadani. Kaesang, who felt already late, finally tried to respond to the message.
"Oh no, it's already late," said Kaesang.

"Not yet, please fill in the data. Yes, it's okay, the item is still ready," said the scammer.
Getting a reply, Kaesang then continued his action. He then asked for the bank account number but also tried to negotiate to pay by cash on delivery (COD) only.
