Fraud modes in the digital era are increasingly diverse. Ironically, more traditional types of fraud with spiritual modes may re-emerge. As happened in Gresik in 2022-2023. Where, a fake shaman cheated hundreds of millions of rupiah by doubling money through a ritual involving 'jenglot'. The fake shaman was named Mulyanto (43) alias Abah Yanto. The fraud was revealed from a report by one of MY's followers who claimed to have lost hundreds of IDR 565 million. The police immediately raided a rented house in Perum Grand Verona Regency Blok F7 and arrested Abah Yanto.[1]
The victim reported that he had given money to be doubled to Abah Yanto twice. In July 2022, the victim gave IDR 65 million. The remaining IDR 500 million was given in August 2022. The perpetrator promised that the victim would double his money to IDR 3.9 billion. During a year of renting in the housing complex, namely from 2022-2023, local residents thought that Mulyanto was opening an ordinary alternative medicine practice. It turned out that many believed that Abah Yanto was able to double money. To local residents, when he first moved into the rented house, Mulyanto admitted that he was a massage therapist. That was what Irwan, one of Mulyanto's neighbors, said.[2]
Irwan added that many people had visited his house. The blood was used to pour on a 'keris' that was said to be able to suck blood and to feed the 'jenglot' in order to convince the victims and potential victims. "The perpetrator's method is to use blood in a money-doubling ritual. The blood will later be poured into a container. Then the keris is dipped to suck the blood. The same goes for the jenglot," said Ipda Luthfi, a police officer from the Gresik Police Station. Meanwhile, the perpetrator used play money to trick the victims by showing it off in a suitcase. The play money was stacked and bundled with the top of each bundle given a real bill and then placed in the suitcase. The suitcase became a kind of proof that he could really multiply money up to 10 times, so that his victims trusted him with a large amount of money.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
