Crooks posing as psychics

Crooks posing as psychics

From Media Indonesia

Early in November last year, I had the misfortune of being
cheated by a swindler named Lila binti H. 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. To ward off the evil
spirits, you must perform a ritual ceremony costing quite a lot
of money: millions of rupiah.

At first, I didn't believe their words but later I succumbed
to their wiles as they claimed religion as their basis. I began
to be suspicious as they demanded more money without any apparent
results. The head of the local neighborhood association confirmed
my suspicions, saying that there had been a lot of victims
cheated out of their money.

The financial loss I suffered was not as bad as the moral
damage done to me, as one of them (Eka Iktriastuti) spread
damaging rumors about me, despite my efforts to find her a job.

I have reported the case to the police and the authorities at
IISIP, but so far there has been no response.

I appeal to Lila and Iktriastuti to stop their evil ways and
would suggest that readers be on the alert when dealing with
these two crooks. Physical characteristics: Lila, tall and fat,
has dark complexion, straight hair and thick lips, while Eka
Iktriastuti is tall, has a fair complexion, is of medium weight
and wears a Muslim head scarf. In their efforts to convince their
marks, they always use Islamic symbols and quote Islamic verses.
