The Mirror of Life in Bandung

This morning I've got a short message sent from a man who claimed to be my father by cell phone that I have. Message contains a command that I must immediately send the money at 50,000 rupiah. Sender of the message claimed to be the father of my own.

But I do not want to be fooled at all! Because I really understand the character of my father.

# 1 from its the way asking for money, he does not show that character my father at all. He's using the Indonesian language .... In fact my father is very strong regional languages, Sundanese.


Then ...# 2 how could a famous artist from West Java to ask for money to their children only 50,000 rupiah? It is highly unlikely! Come on, it makes me more convinced it was not my father ... this incident really makes me laugh!Well .. this is the screenshot:


It means something like this:
...Here's your father, was using a cell phone belonging to someone else, please buy this father pulses worth 50.000 dollars to this number: 085 215 504 392. Your father is in a problem in the police station. Please do not call or send a message first. Let your father a call later. important.

That is the mirror of life in Bandung or anywhere in Indonesia. Whether because of lack of work or it has become a job as a fraud ... This is a world filled with cunning trick! []

I have also received similar sms 5-6 times, the words almost the same that I thought they were sent by the same person, or perhaps group of persons.
I reacted by reply his sms to say that I will personally give it to him if he tell me where he is. But he never responsed.
