Indonesian Businesswoman Duped To Buy Fake Rolex Watch
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Two alleged conmen in Indonesia, who introduced themselves as rich Bruneians, recently persuaded an Indonesian businesswoman to buy a fake Rolex watch from them in South Jakarta.

The mother of two related her story to an Indonesian provincial newspaper after lodging a police report at Tanjung Duren Police Station.

In her report, she alleged that she was cheated of 6 million rupiah (about B$1,200) by two men who claimed to have come from Brunei.

The businesswoman, Mulyani, was approached by the two `Bruneians' as she was about to bank in her company's money, 2.7 million rupiah ($540) to the RCA bank.

The duo offered her the `gold' Rolex watch at 10 million rupiah ($2,000), but she was not interested. Just as Mulyani was about to leave, another person (probably part of the syndicate) approached the sellers, offering to purchase the watch at 6 million rupiah.

The sellers then told the buyer that the Rolex watch would cost 10 million rupiah at established watch shops.

Following the purchase of the Rolex watch, the woman became attracted to the offer. However, she did not have enough money in hand.

Mulyani then borrowed 2 million rupiah from her mother before withdrawing cash from her account. She even used her company's money towards paying for the fake watch.

After the two men left, Mulyani made her way to a watch shop, where she was told that her newly purchased Rolex was not a genuine item. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
