Tibi and her accomplice Eka Iktriastuti. This is the way they run their operation: they proclaim themselves as psychics who have an orphanage. They then create a situation in which you become helpless by saying that you are under the influence of magic spells.",

Tibi and her accomplice<br>\nEka Iktriastuti.<\/p>\n<p>This is the way they run their operation: they proclaim<br>\nthemselves as psychics who have an orphanage. They then create a<br>\nsituation in which you become helpless by saying that you are<br>\nunder the influence of magic spells. To ward off the evil<br>\nspirits, you must perform a ritual ceremony costing quite a lot<br>\nof money: millions of rupiah.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I didn't believe their words but later I succumbed<br>\nto their wiles as they claimed religion as their basis. I began<br>\nto be suspicious as they demanded more money without any apparent<br>\nresults. The head of the local neighborhood association confirmed<br>\nmy suspicions, saying that there had been a lot of victims<br>\ncheated out of their money.<\/p>\n<p>The financial loss I suffered was not as bad as the moral<br>\ndamage done to me, as one of them (Eka Iktriastuti) spread<br>\ndamaging rumors about me, despite my efforts to find her a job.<\/p>\n<p>I have reported the case to the police and the authorities at<br>\nIISIP, but so far there has been no response.<\/p>\n<p>I appeal to Lila and Iktriastuti to stop their evil ways and<br>\nwould suggest that readers be on the alert when dealing with<br>\nthese two crooks. Physical characteristics: Lila, tall and fat,<br>\nhas dark complexion, straight hair and thick lips, while Eka<br>\nIktriastuti is tall, has a fair complexion, is of medium weight<br>\nand wears a Muslim head scarf. In their efforts to convince their<br>\nmarks, they always use Islamic symbols and quote Islamic verses.<\/p>\n<p>ANTHO<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
