A resident of Bandung City, Sulaeman, sued the Bandung City Population and Civil Registry Service (Disdukcapil) to the Bandung State Administrative Court (PTUN). Sulaeman was declared administratively dead, even though he was still alive. The resident from RT (Neighborhood Association): 02, RW (Citizens Association): 07, Cisurupan Village, Cibiru Sub-district, Bandung City, West Java Province, registered his lawsuit at the Bandung State Administrative Court (PTUN) on November 18, 2022.[1]

Sulaeman's lawsuit has gone through two trial processes. First on December 22 2022 and January 5 2023. This case is still being processed at the Bandung Administrative Court. Quoting from the SIPP PTUN Bandung website, one of the requests was to cancel the genitals of the defendant in death statement number: 3273-KM-06102020-0021, in Bandung, 03-10-2001 in the name of Sulaeman who was born in Bandung, 07-06-1989.[2]

"States that the Petitioner named Sulaeman is still alive. Orders the Petitioner to record corrections to the applicant's population data and subsequent recording in the population database. Punishes the respondent to pay the costs of the case," wrote the SIPP (Case Tracing Information System) PTUN Bandung statement, Wednesday (8/2/2023). Sulaeman admitted that he was surprised when he got a call from the bank. Sulaeman at that time planned to take a mortgage (KPR/House Ownership Credit) in the Ciparay area. "The bank said that in the name of Mr. Sulaeman had died. My wife told me again. At that time I was riding an online motorcycle taxi. At first I didn't believe I was laughing. Then the next day I went to Disdukcapil, only found out that he was declared dead," said Sulaeman, Wednesday (8/2/2023). After coordinating with the Bandung City Disdukcapil, Sulaeman was then directed to file a lawsuit at the Bandung Administrative Court. This is because Sulaeman's death certificate has been issued.[3]

"It can be taken a lawsuit by the person who arranged for the death certificate. Because the death certificate has appeared, you have to go to the PTUN first. Because the data has been recorded at the Ministry of Home Affairs," said Sulaeman. Sulaeman admitted that he had attended the first trial with the agenda of proving documents and others. The rest, he was assisted by his attorney. "Yes, it can be as before (determined still alive), there must be a court decision," he said.[4] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us then, feel free in 24 hour, we will be happy to assist you.

A Tulungagung Religious Court (PA) judge married a divorce plaintiff in a case she handled as a second wife ended bitterly. The judge with the initials MY who married the litigant in the trial handled was dishonorably dismissed alias dismissed for violating the code of ethics. The dismissal was carried out at the Honorary Council of Judges (MKH) session on Friday (3/2/2023). The panel of judges at the MKH Session was the deputy chairman of KY M Taufiq HZ as the chairman of the panel of judges, along with KY members Siti Nudjanah, Binziad Kadafi and Amzulian Rifai. Also representatives of the Supreme Court namely Supreme Court Justices Syamsul Maarif, Purwosusilo, and Yasardin.[1]

Apart from being proven to have violated the judge's code of ethics, MY has also committed polygamy without a permit in accordance with existing regulations. More than that, the judge also did not recognize the child from his second wife and did not provide for the child. "And not setting an example as a senior judge," said Taufik. The case began when MY was still serving at the Tulungagung Religious Court. At that time, the reporting woman, who later became the judge's second wife, was in the process of divorcing her previous husband and accidentally met MY.[2]

The judge MY asked for the contact number of the complainant and stated that he would take care of the divorce case. MY allegedly arranged so that he could become a member of the assembly in the reporting case, then during the trial process MY invited the reporter to marry. Because she wanted the divorce process to end quickly, the reporting woman agreed to MY marriage proposal. After the reporter's divorce decision was approved, it didn't take long for MY and the reporter to marry in a series. After being married serially, MY promised several things until they were officially married.[3]

However, according to the reporter's confession, after a day of being officially married MY disappeared without news and did not fulfill his promise before being officially married until finally the woman reported MY actions to the Judicial Commission in 2021. on purpose. However, said MY, he had actually refused to become a member of the panel of judges in the reporting case. MY argued that he finally agreed to become a member of the panel of judges in the reported divorce case at the request of the head of the PA. During the trial MY also admitted that he had asked the complainant to marry in a series and to have a child from this relationship.[4]

Furthermore, still in MY defense note, he informed his first wife at the same time to ask permission for polygamy. After receiving permission from his first wife, MY then took care of the licensing for polygamy at the official office on the grounds that his first wife was sick so he could legally marry his second wife. Among the ethical codes that have been violated, namely number 5 point 5.1.(3) reads that "judges must avoid contact, either directly or indirectly, with advocates, prosecutors and parties in a case (which is) being examined by the judge concerned".[5]

The MKH trial which took place on Friday (3/2/2023) with the decision of the Panel of Judges dismissing MY was the third trial that has been held. The previous two trials were postponed because MY was unable to attend due to illness. For the first time in the history of the MKH trial, the reported MY had to be presented virtually via Zoom because he was still sick and under the supervision of a doctor. Also attending the trial were MY first wife and MY nephew who lived with MY and MY first wife as witnesses.[6] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us then, feel free in 24 hour, we will be happy to assist you.

Team of Hukumindo

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Pig Butchering Fraud Targets Android and iPhone Users", "WhatsApp Fraud Mode 'Like' on YouTube Videos to Obtain Money", you may read also "Examples of Fraudulent Spam Emails" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Umrah Pilgrim Fraud with Low Cost Mode in Bogor Happens Again'.

The case of alleged fraud by prospective Umrah pilgrims in Bogor, West Java, was uncovered by the police. A woman suspected of being the perpetrator was arrested. This case arose when a celebrity from Bogor, Elsya Sandria, admitted that she was deceived by a woman managing a Hajj and Umrah travel agency with the initials CV. He admitted that he failed to perform Umrah and suffered a loss of up to IDR 200 million. Elsya then reported the case to the Bogor City Police on Wednesday (18/1/23'). Elsya admitted that she and 10 of her family had been promised to leave for Umrah on December 22, 2022. However, promises remain promises. There is no clear return on the money Elsya paid. The Police conducted an investigation. Finally, the police uncovered this case and arrested the alleged perpetrator. Here are some facts:[1]

1. Police Arrest Prospective Umrah Pilgrims Fraudsters. The police arrested the alleged perpetrator of an Umrah trip scam that cost a celebrity in Bogor, West Java, up to IDR 200 million. The perpetrator with the initials CVG (39) was arrested in the Sentul area, Bogor Regency.
2. Involved Parties Investigated. The police said investigators were still exploring the possibility that other parties helped the suspect cheat. Bismo said the suspect should have sent the victim and his family to Saudi Arabia for Umrah in December 2022, but failed and did not return the victim's money. "We have secured the perpetrator with the initials CVG, we have secured him from his house in Sentul (Bogor, West Java). We are still investigating the involvement of other parties," said Bismo.
3. Victims of 106 people, loss of IDR 1.8 billion. The results of the police investigation revealed that 106 people were victims of fraud. It is estimated that the total loss reached IDR 1.8 billion. "The perpetrators were arrested and interrogated by the perpetrators, it was revealed that there were 106 other people who had also not been able to depart. Even though the deadline was promised in 2022, they were not departed. The total loss was IDR 1,881,440,000 (1.8 billion)," said Bismo. Bismo explained that the number of other victims was known from the WhatsApp group which was revealed by one of the victims who reported the incident at the Bogor City Police Headquarters.
4. Police Suspect There Are Other Victims. The police suspect that there were other victims who were deceived by CVG perpetrators. People who feel aggrieved by the perpetrators of CVG are encouraged to report to the Bogor City Police. "It is possible that there are other victims, people who feel aggrieved can report to the Bogor City Police Headquarters," said Bismo. From the CVG perpetrators, the Police also confiscated evidence in the form of passports allegedly belonging to prospective pilgrims who had not yet departed, print-out bank statements, evidence of conversations, meningitis vaccine certificates, and account books.
5. Mode of Offering Cheap Umrah Fees. Allegedly, CVG deceived victims by offering Umrah fees that were cheaper than the standard costs in general. "The alleged perpetrator on behalf of CVG has been carrying out activities to send Umrah since 2020. The system (the mode), he makes promises or can send Umrah at a low cost, at a price of IDR 5-12.5 million, where the average normal Umrah fee is IDR 20 million," said Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Bogor City Police, Kompol Rizka Padhila. The Bogor City Police opened a complaint post for people who also felt they were victims.
6. Robbing Peter to Pay Paul (Gali Lobang, Tutup Lobang) Proverb. CVG has indeed succeeded in dispatching a number of people for Umrah. However, in the end CVG had to do 'proverb of Robbing Peter to Pay Paul' or in Indonesia proverb is 'Gali Lobang, Tutup Lobang' for the prospective congregation's deposit money. "So, the difference (lack of costs for each departure), he (CVG) uses other customers' money. So the system is in line with proverb of 'Robbing Peter to Pay Paul', said Rizka. The Police asked the public not to be easily tempted if an Umrah fee was offered that was cheaper than the standard fee set by the government. "Initially there were only 2-3 people behind waiting for their turn, every year there were more and more. Until finally December 2022, there were approximately 106 who still had not been able to depart, a total loss of around IDR 1.8 billion," he added.
7. The Perpetrator Became a Suspect and was Detained. CVG (39) has been named a suspect. CVG is now being detained at the Bogor City Police Headquarters. "(CVG) has been named a suspect, we are detaining him at the Bogor City Police. The perpetrators have been detained and charged under Article 372 Jo. 378 of the Criminal Code with a penalty of 4 years in prison," said Kombes Bismo.
8. The Alibi of the Perpetrators of Defrauding the Umrah Congregation. At least 106 prospective Umrah pilgrims became victims of CVG fraud. CVG conveyed an alibi for the failure of 106 pilgrims to depart. "The reason I didn't go was because the money had already been used by pilgrims who had already departed for 137 pilgrims," ​​CVG said when presented at a press conference disclosing cases of fraud by prospective Umrah pilgrims at the Bogor City Police Headquarters, Thursday (2/2/2023). CVG said that the case started with a meeting with a donor who wanted to send Indonesian citizens for the Umrah pilgrimage. However, this assistance was canceled because CVG refused to be a foreign citizen (WNA) who wanted to be a donor. Prospective pilgrims, said CVG, were only asked for a certain amount of money and the remaining costs were covered by the donor. CVG said the donor was a Saudi Arabian citizen. "I was promised by a donor in Saudi Arabia, if he wanted to send a congregation, 100-200 congregations, by being asked for IDR 5 million and IDR 12.5 million, and at that time I gathered some of my closest friends, my Koran teacher, and everyone," said CVG.

Pig Butchering Fraud Targets Android and iPhone Users

Pig butchering scams that promise huge profits from fake crypto investments have begun to infiltrate the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Android and iPhone users are asked to be more careful. The pig butchering scam has actually been going on for years. This form of fraud usually involves fake websites and advertisements to social engineering. By using fraudulent applications circulating on official app stores, fraudsters can gain the victim's trust more easily.[1]

A cybersecurity researcher from Sophos said 'pig butchering' scammers usually target male users on Facebook or Tinder. Sophos came across this scam campaign originating from the 'ShaZhuPan' group from China. Fraudsters usually use profile photos of beautiful women to trick victims, and display photos of lavish lifestyles. After gaining the victim's trust, the scammers then say that they have an 'uncle' who works for a financial analysis company.[2]

The victim was then invited to buy cryptocurrency through a fake application called 'BitScan' on the Play Store, as well as Ace Pro and MBM_BitScan on the App Store. The scammer then guides the victim to first open a deposit on the Binance crypto exchange platform, then gets transferred to the fake app. This fraudulent application initially allows victims to withdraw their crypto investments in small amounts to make victims more trusting. But after the nominal gets bigger, the victim's account will be locked.[3]

To be able to infiltrate the App Store, the ShaZhuPan group initially connects the application with a 'good' server until it gets approval from Apple. After passing the review, the fraudster then changes the domain and connects the application to the "malicious" server. After opening the application, the victim will see a crypto trading application-style interface sent from a malicious server. However, all the information displayed on the interface is a hoax, except for the victim's deposit. Since these fraudulent apps were only downloaded by a small number of users who were victims, not many reported these apps for fraudulent acts. Google and Apple also find it difficult to recognize and kick this fraudulent application from their application store.[4]

Sophos says the popularity of fintech services makes it easier for consumers to trust apps like these. Moreover, the fraudulent application made it into the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. For this reason, Android and iPhone users are asked to be careful before installing new applications. Always check reviews and comments from other users, view privacy policies, details about the developer, and information about the company.[5] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us then, feel free in 24 hour, we will be happy to assist you.

WhatsApp Fraud Mode 'Like' on YouTube Videos to Obtain Money

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "5 Characteristics of Phishing Links That Can Drain Your Bank Account", "Examples of Fraudulent Spam Emails", "I Have a Contract Whose Goods Have Not Been Delivered, How Do I Sue Under Indonesian Law?" you may read also "How To Report Online Scammer Or Fraud To The Police In Indonesia" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'WhatsApp Fraud Mode 'Like' on YouTube Videos to Obtain Money'.

Fraud or scams circulating on WhatsApp (WA) are now increasingly varied. Most recently, there are scams that promise money just by 'liking' YouTube videos, but in the end it's the victims who will lose money. Scams like this are common in India. Cybercriminals usually spread these deceptive messages via WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Facebook.[1]

Initially, fraudsters will contact potential victims via WhatsApp to offer job vacancies. Fraudsters usually claim to be representatives of global media companies whose names are unknown to many. The vacancies offered are very tempting, users only need to 'like' a YouTube video and will obtain USD $  0.5,- or around IDR 7.000,- per 'like'. Fraudsters promise potential victims can obtain USD $ 60,- or around IDR 898 thousand in a day.[2]

To convince potential victims, fraudsters even send small amounts of money, for example USD $ 2. This money is a payment for completing three tasks where the fraudster will send links to three YouTube videos, then ask the victim to like the videos, and share the screenshots. After that fraudsters enter the second phase where they will ask for the user's personal data to send payments. Then they'll pretend they're having a technical problem in the payment process.[3]

The fraudster then asks the victim to download an application to make the money transfer process easier. The problem is, these applications are usually trojans or malware that can steal personal data. After that the fraudster will ask the victim to send USD $ 1 for verification. It is there that the fraudster will have all of the user's banking data, from OTP, email, bank account, and credit card information.[4]

If you have ever received a message like this, promising a lot of money just by doing a simple job (just by doing 'like' on YouTube videos), you should be suspicious because it could be a scam. As soon as they get money from the victim, the fraudster will immediately delete their WhatsApp account and look for other victims. Be sure to immediately report suspicious WhatsApp accounts like this, and immediately block them so they don't contact you again. Also, don't let your personal number spread on sites or social media in public.[5] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us then, feel free in 24 hour, we will be happy to assist you.

5 Characteristics of Phishing Links That Can Drain Your Bank Account

Team of Hukumindo

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Chronology of IDR 654 Million in the Accounts of Klungkung House of Representative Members Dissapear", "Examples of Fraudulent Spam Emails", you may read also "How To Report Online Scammer Or Fraud To The Police In Indonesia" and on this occasion we will discuss about '5 Characteristics of Phishing Links That Can Drain Your Bank Account'.

Cases of digital crime using phishing methods are happening again. Lately, a resident of Bali claimed to have lost more than IDR. 600 million of his bank account. Initially, he received a message in the form of a link on the social network Facebook. The message was on behalf of a bank in the area. When the link is opened, the victim is asked to fill in some data. Instantly, the money in his account was drained. Crimes with this phishing method often use fake links on behalf of certain institutions, agencies or companies. These links usually lead to fake websites or pages that look like the original to trick the victim. After the victim fills in or submits sensitive data via the fake link, the contents of the account can be deducted.[1]

It should be noted in advance, phishing itself is a cyber crime in the form of deception or fraud attempts to obtain sensitive user data. That data, for example, is like account credentials (username and password), debit card data, or credit card data. In order to get this data, one way is to use a link containing a page that is made to look like the original website. When the data has been entered by the victim, the perpetrator will be able to immediately steal it and take over the account. This action is very detrimental to the user. Therefore, we always need to be vigilant with phishing links that are circulating.[2]

Perpetrator can create phishing links in various ways, adjusting the data they want to retrieve. For example, if you want to get debit or credit card data, the perpetrator will create a link that looks like the bank's original website. Even though there are various forms, the fraudulent links can still be recognized. So, what are the characteristics of a phishing link? For more details, here are the characteristics of phishing links that can trick and steal user data. Characteristics of a phishing link that can drain an account:[3]

1. Using a fake website name that looks like the original. The first characteristic of a phishing link is using a fake website name or URL address. The name of the website address from the phishing link is usually made as close to the original as possible. For example, “instagrammm.com”, while the original is “instagram.com”. The use of such fake website name addresses is intended so that unwary victims believe that the link is genuine. 
2. Content does not match the original website Phishing links generally contain more concise content than the original website. The quality of the content is also somewhat worse. This can be seen from the layout of the display and the contents of the writing that are not neat. 
3. Requesting sensitive data As mentioned above, the purpose of phishing is to obtain sensitive user data. Phishing links usually contain only fictitious login pages that ask users to enter account credentials.
4. Account credentials can still be read even if they are wrong Phishing links do not provide a login page that can allow users to enter their account on a platform. The login page listed on the phishing link is only fictitious and serves to collect credential data only. So, if a user enters account credentials in the form of a fake username and password on the login page from a phishing link, they can still be read. 
5. Detected as an insecure website The next feature of a phishing link is that when it is opened a warning appears "connection is not secure" in the browser. The warning indicates that the website is not safe to open because it does not have a security certificate. If you find a link with the above characteristics, you should just ignore it, don't open it and fill in any data there.

A member of the Regional People's Legislative Council (DPRD) of Klungkung Regency, Bali, named I Wayan Misna (56), admitted that he had lost IDR 654 million in his account. He is suspected of being a victim of fraud with a phishing link mode sent by the perpetrator via social media Facebook. Head of Bali Police Public Relations, Kombes Pol Stefanus Satake Bayu Setianto revealed that the victim initially checked the balance in his bank account on January 27, 2023 Then, Wayan Misna received a message via Facebook containing a link on behalf of the regional bank in Bali.[1]

Wayan then fills in the data on that link. Instantly, the money in his account was drained. "The person concerned is waiting for a transfer (from someone) and he opens Facebook. Then there is a link about the bank. (He clicks) Then he is asked to enter data, and then the account was drained, it turned out the link was fake," Satake told reporters on Thursday.[2]

Applications cannot be accessed Satake said, on January 30 2023 at around 11.00 WITA (East Indonesian Time), this member of the PDI-P faction (Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle) wanted to make transactions through the mobile banking application. However, the application cannot be accessed. At the same time, he was contacted by the bank because he saw a transaction coming out of his account in a large amount at 11.49 WITA. In fact, the victim admitted that he had never made that many transactions. "The bank then sent a soft copy of the account which showed that there were many money transfer transactions coming out of the victim's account," he said.[3]

The member of the PDI-P faction then reported the incident that happened to him to the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation (Ditreskrimsus) of the Bali Police, attaching several pieces of evidence such as a photocopy of his ID Card and a photocopy of his account book. "Due to this incident, the victim suffered a loss of IDR. 654,000,000,-" said Satake.[4] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us then, feel free in 24 hour, we will be happy to assist you.

5 Most Bizarre Court Cases in US History

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "These are 4 Legal Cases that Have Befallen the Elderly in Indonesia", "5 Interesting Cases that Become the Jurisprudence of the Supreme Court in Indonesia", "The Characteristics of a Fraudulent Investment According to the Financial Services Authority (OJK)", "Examples of Fraudulent Spam Emails" you may read also "How To Report Online Scammer Or Fraud To The Police In Indonesia" and on this occasion we will discuss about '5 Most Bizarre Court Cases in US History'.

Litigation often takes unpredictable turns, as is the case in these lawsuits. Some of these plaintiffs have a legitimate complaint; others just want to use the court system to make a point. Whatever their motivations, it is doubtful they expected to go down in the annals of court history as 'bizarre'.[1] Let's check it out:

1. Trina Thompson v. Monroe College. In 2009 Trina Thompson sued Monroe College for $72,000 because she couldn’t find a job after graduating. She sought $70,000 to reimburse her for the full cost of her tuition plus $2,000 for the stress she endured during her three-month job search. She alleged Monroe College’s Office of Career Advancement did not try hard enough to help her find full-time employment after she completed her studies. Thompson lost her case.
2. Chambers v. God Lawsuit. Nebraska Senator and activist Ernie Chambers made headline news when he filed a lawsuit against God for “widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants.” Chambers filed the suit to show the importance of citizens being able to bring any complaint before a court of law. The case was dismissed because God did not have an address and could not be served with legal notice of the trial.
3. Coffee Company On Ice. Alexander Forouzesh filed a lawsuit against a Seattle based coffee company for putting too much ice in their iced coffees. He alleged that the company was cheating its customers out of the coffee they paid for by overfilling the cups with ice. The suit was dismissed by the judge who said even children understand the displacement of liquid in an ice-filled cup.
4. Cosmetic Company Twisted Up Over Lip Balm. A class action suit against a cosmetic company alleged it is impossible to use the last bit of lip balm in a tube because the twist up mechanism doesn’t twist up far enough. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the complaint because the product label accurately stated how much usable lip balm was in the tube.
5. Woman Sues Government Over Nacho Cheese. In November 2017, a Wichita Falls, Texas woman sued the federal government for $95,000. In 2015, an Air Force Base employee allegedly spilled hot nacho cheese on her finger, causing permanent injuries to her finger that affected her ability to work. She did eventually lose her employment. The suit is ongoing. This list provides some insight into the variety of suits that come in and out of America’s court system. No complaint is too small or too bizarre for a plaintiff to bring to court. If you have a complaint, got to a lawyer and ask for a consultation.
