Beware of bogus president director

Beware of bogus president director

From Media Indonesia

The community must beware of the scams that have been committed recently. A number of branches of Berdikari Insurance recently had this experience on Jan. 29 and Feb. 6.

Our Denpasar branch office received a telephone call from someone claiming to be the president director from the head office, saying that an impromptu inspection would be conducted, along with some officials of the finance ministry. The man also gave an instruction that all the funds in the accounts kept in this branch office should be made ready for the inspection. A while later he telephoned again and give a bank account number and two cell phone numbers, i.e. 0818570351/0818570354.

On the same day, our branch offices in Medan, Padang and Lhokseumawe reported the same thing. The branch office in Medan got the name of Isnur Hariyanto, Lippo Bank branch office of Kelapa Gading Jakarta, Account No. 520-10-8029309. The branch office in Lhokseumawe got the name of Darwin Noor, Bank BNI Rawamangun branch office, Account No. 243.00400.5476.901.

Then on Feb. 6, this man, using a slightly different modus operandi, did the same to our branch offices in Batam, Balikpapan, Bandung, Semarang and Kupang.

What was surprising to us was that this man seemed to know very well that our president director was then out of town or abroad.

So, other companies with branch offices across the country should beware of this kind of scam.
