Warning against military impostors

Warning against military impostors

1. Lately the community has been facing an increasing number
of actions of imposture, under the pretense of social activities
and anniversary celebrations by organizations and institutions.
Community members are contacted by telephone in the name of a
high-ranking government official. The targets are usually
businesses, agencies, state companies, officials and Armed Forces
members and retirees.

2. In the past two months, many reports have come in regarding
requests for contributions on behalf of the Jakarta District
Military Command (Pangdam Jaya), organization leaders and
prominent community figures. The requests are at times
accompanied by threats. I therefore appeal to the community not
to comply with requests for aid and contributions for which
responsibility is not clear. Besides, verification with the
officials quoted is necessary. I would also ask the people to
report such cases to the related local authority and the police
or to the Posko Kewaspadaan (command post for alertness) by
telephoning 122 (toll free), Kodam Jaya at 8004415 or the Jakarta
Police at 5234558.
