Kirana Larasati Becomes a Victim of Alleged Fraud, Reports to Police Because She Feels Aggrieved

When confirmed by the media on Thursday (5/8/2025), the Head of Public Relations of the South Jakarta Metro Police, Kompol Murodih, confirmed the report. "We have indeed received the report, with registration number 155," said Kompol Murodih.

The report was submitted to the Police Headquarters on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at around 18:50 WIB. The report was received directly by the officers of the Integrated Police Service Center (SPKT). "Reported on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at 18:50," said Murodih.

The alleged case reported by Kirana Larasati points to fraud or deceitful acts that have caused her material loss. "This is an allegation of fraud or deceitful acts," explained Commissioner Murodih.

The chronology of the incident began when Kirana intended to register the IMEI of her iPhone with Customs. She sought information through Google, then communicated with someone via WhatsApp.

"It started when the victim wanted to register the IMEI of her iPhone with Customs. The victim initially searched through Google and communicated with a number she got through WhatsApp," he explained.

"The victim was directed to make a registration payment through QRIS," he stated. However, after the second transaction, Kirana's balance was deducted again. At that moment, she felt something was off and decided not to respond to messages from that number.

"It was only discovered afterward that the victim's balance was deducted again. At that point, the victim was already suspicious and decided to ignore the chat from the perpetrator," explained Kompol Murodih. /aal
