Anggi Pamungkas (26), a street food vendor selling noodle dishes and meatballs in Karangbahagia District, Bekasi Regency, claims he was thrown out whilst attempting to request an influencer with the initials PS to return endorsement payment of 1 million rupiah.

Previously, PS had promised to return the funds after the promotional content that was commissioned failed to appear on his TikTok account.

“I went there four times and the responses were fine, but on the fifth visit I was genuinely evicted by his parents,” said Anggi when met at his business premises on Saturday (28 February 2026).

He had initially contacted PS, who is considered to have a substantial following in the Cikarang area and surroundings.

In their initial communication, PS offered a promotional rate of 15 million rupiah. Anggi said he was shocked and attempted to negotiate.

“Since I had already contacted him, I just made polite conversation. ‘Is there a rate for small businesses?’” said Anggi.

According to Anggi, the rate then decreased to 5 million rupiah and subsequently 3 million rupiah. He stated he only had a budget of 1 million rupiah.

After negotiation, the partnership was agreed at 1 million rupiah.

“He said, ‘Alright then, we’ll help you with 1 million rupiah on TikTok.’ Eventually we agreed on that 1 million rupiah price,” he said.

Under the agreement, PS was scheduled to arrive on 29 January 2026 to record video content and upload the promotional content to TikTok on the same day.

All initial stages proceeded without issue.

However, the promised promotional content never appeared.

On the evening after the visit, Anggi noticed other posts appearing on the influencer’s account.
