Based on the investigation results, Suharto continued, 200 people had become offender’s victims with the same modus. To get a flat unit, the offenders asked fee for Rp 1-3 million. From that amount, the money of 70 victims has been returned.
Head of Area 1 UPRS, Maharyadi, said the fraud was revealed after a group of people came to Marunda Flat C Cluster on Tuesday (10/7) to stay in units at Block 3 and 4. At that time, they brought copies of certificates given by the offender.
“Block 3 and 4 are still being repaired. Besides, the units there are intended for Muara Baru residents listed in the program. As a result, those people were held by our officers,” he uttered.
Then, Maharyadi continued, a representative of those people was asked to come to UPRS office at Jatibaru, Central Jakarta, to clarify the certificates. After being checked, it was known that the certificates were fake.
“The certificates they brought were only copies and the data is not in our system. Thus, our officers directly coordinated this matter with the police,” he told.
