Phony reporter

From Sinar Pagi

The Board of Executives of the Association of Indonesian Journalists from the Jakarta Branch deem it necessary to warn the public against the malpractice of phony reporters. They tend to exercise extortion in the name of the journalist association.

In their operations they even use the names of the true journalists working for a certain publication and use their business cards.

These fake reporters usually request an interview with the victim and demand a fee for the service. We appeal to the public to report such cases to the Secretariat of the association or to the nearest Police Office.
