In June, Siti booked 760 tickets Hajj for departure on 4^th October 2012. Siti made the payments gradually. However, Sahreza never sent the tickets to siti and when Siti contacted him, Sahreza never answered the phone. Feeling cheated, Siti was reported Sahreza on allegation of fraud.

Something similar happened to Mochamad Assegaf (39). This man complained Samson and Muhazir, two management company PT Iyyaka International, companies which engaged in visa for Hajj. Muhazir relied on Samson to receive money from victims about Rp 5 billion. The money was originally used to manufacture a thousand visas for Hajj pilgrims. Because it has no intentions of Samson and Muhazir to return the money, Mochamad complained them to the Police Services Center of Polda Metro Jaya for further processing.

The third incident happened to Andi Idha Nusianty. A woman from Makassar reported a woman named Nelly Rahim. Incident began in 2003 when Nelly offered Haji travel agency to Idha. The victim was paying 600 dollars for ONH plus for departure in 2004. Then, Idha paid another Rp 121 million for departure of three people which they will went in 2005.

Hermansyah (32), who had been due to depart this year, did not escape from fraud as well. Hermansyah paid Rp 1.1 billion for the departure of group of Hajj to someone named Muchlis. They have promised to depart on 16^th October 2012 by Muchlis. However, until this day,  Hermansyah never departed. In fact, one million money that already paid was not used to pay for Hajj. Finally, Hermansyah decided to report the case to police.

The fourth case is still under investigation Polda Metro Jaya. The perpetrators also threatened criminal Pasal 372, 374, and 378 about Fraud, Position misuse, and embezzlement.

Many people who misuse the trust of others. It's hard to tell which are honest and which are not. The one things that we can to do is we need to do is be more careful and do not be too credulous with someone.
