        "summary": "A wedding organiser in Bandung, known as Darmawangsa Wedding Organiser SCR, has allegedly defrauded 140 couples of a total of Rp 2.4 billion. The victims, including several individuals with upcoming wedding dates in 2026, have reported the case to the West Java Regional Police after the organiser ceased all communication.",
        "content": "<p>A tragic situation has befallen 140 individuals who fell victim to\nfraud by a wedding organiser (WO) in Bandung. The group of victims was\ndefrauded by a woman identified by the initials SCR, representing\nDarmawangsa Wedding Organiser SCR, who absconded with funds totalling Rp\n2.4 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Sunsun Nugraha Sidik, one of the victims, is scheduled to marry on 21\nJune 2026. However, his wedding is now at risk of cancellation because\nthe wedding organiser has failed to settle any payments with the\nappointed vendors. \u201cFraud has occurred regarding the execution of their\nweddings because there have been no payments from the WO to the promised\nvendors,\u201d he stated when confirmed on Sunday, 7 June 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Sunsun was enticed to use the services of the organiser due to their\nrelatively low prices. He has already transferred a total of Rp 70\nmillion to the company, but the organiser has since become impossible to\ncontact. \u201cThe initial tactic was to lure clients with packages that were\nquite cheap and very tempting for prospective brides and grooms,\u201d he\nexplained. He added that the victims, including other couples and\nvendors, remain open to mediation.<\/p>\n<p>Sunsun noted that the victims visited the West Java Regional Police\n(Polda Jabar) on Saturday, 6 June 2026, to report the case, though some\ndocumentation is still being finalised. The group plans to return to the\npolice headquarters on Monday, 8 June 2026, to complete the report.<\/p>\n<p>Another victim, Bisri, stated that the wedding organiser has been\nextremely difficult to reach for discussions regarding wedding plans. He\nclaimed that since January 2026, he has only been able to hold one\nmeeting with the organiser. Bisri, who is due to marry on 14 November\n2026, remains hopeful that his wedding can still proceed and is seeking\nclarity on the situation. He noted that many comments on social media\nhave already surfaced, confirming that the individual in question has\nabsconded with money from numerous prospective couples.<\/p>",
