The scam mode carried out by S has been ongoing since last August and was only discovered when the victim came to Gowa, South Sulawesi to meet the perpetrator. Instead of a veiled Muslim woman as seen in the Facebook photo she found, it turned out to be a middle-aged man. The victim realized that she had been deceived and filed a police report.
