The Story of the Fraud/Pembokisan

The couple Aldi and Feny were victims of fraud by a WO named Marwah whose address is in Jakarta Garden City (JGC), East Jakarta.

A more in-depth account of the boxing of WO Marwah, based in East Jakarta, was told by Aldi and Feny, the victims. They both claimed to have suffered a loss of Rp85,5 million.

“Initially, i got the information from Instagram. After seeing the price list and packages, i paid a down payment. The total loss was Rp85,5 million,” said Feny, Monday, May 25, 2026.

She also said, that she initially used WO Marwah’s services after seeing a promotion on Instagram. At that time, she was interested in the wedding package offered and then made a down payment (DP).

After the initial payment was made, the couple attended a food tasting session held by the wedding organizer. Feny said she saw numerous staff members working at the event, including decoration vendors, makeup artists (MUAs), and the master of ceremonies (MC), along with samples of the wedding stage and buffet.

The couple also said they underwent a wedding dress fitting at the wedding organizer’s office. Payment was then made in installments until the full amount was paid in early April 2026.

They also increased the number of guests on May 11, 2026. However, suspicions arose during the preparatory meeting (TM), which was held online due to its short duration.

On May 13, 2026, or approximately 10 days before the event, the Bekasi Islamic Center building contacted the couple and stated that the wedding organizer had not yet paid the building fee.

Aldi said, he and Feny then tried to contact the wedding organizer several times, but received no response.  On the day before the wedding, Aldi and Feny visited the wedding organizer’s office in JGC and found it empty. Amsiong.
