Sindikat Cyber Crime Benua Hitam Gentayangan Cari Mangsa dari Dunia Maya

Oleh : Freddy Ilhamsyah PA

Sejak beberapa tahun terakhir ini sebagian pemakai fasilitas email di manca negara khususnya Indonesia telah dikunjungi sindikat cyber crime dari Benua Hitam (Ouagadougou-Burkina Faso-Afrika Barat) yang berdalih mengajak berkerjasama untuk “menyelamatkan harta karun” berbentuk uang tunai dalam jumlah besar yang disimpan pemilik antaberanta di kas Bank of Afrika (BoA) Ouagadougou-Burkina Faso-Afrika Barat.

Menurut para tamu tak diundang yang mengaku sebagai pejabat berwenang di Bank of Afrika, uang tunai yang ngendap di BoA sudah tidak bertuan karena ditinggal mati oleh pemiliknya. Ada yang mati karena kecelakaan pesawat terbang dan ada pula yang tewas akibat kecelakaan lalulintas serta tewas ketika terjadi pergolakan politik di negara itu. Sedangkan ahli waris sipemilik uang tersebut tidak pernah datang ke BoA untuk mengajukan klaim atas uang tersebut.

Alasan yang disampaikan mereka, ketimbang disita oleh pemerintah yang korup, lebih baik uang itu di transfer ke luar negeri dengan bantuan orang asing yang mau diajak bekerjasama dalam bisnis tersebut. Mereka berjanji akan memberikan imbalan yang cukup menggiurkan, yaitu sebesar 20 sampai 40 persen dari jumlah belasan jutaan dollar Amerika Serikat yang tersimpan di BoA kepada orang yang bersedia membantu mereka.

Syaratnya tidak sulit, selain menjaga kerahasiaan jatidiri mereka, yang bersangkutan juga meminta biodata tamu yang dikunjunginya lengkap dengan pasfoto, copy KTP yang masih berlaku dan nomor rekening bank untuk memudahkan ketika dilakukan transfer uang tersebut ke rekening pihak yang mau diajak kerjasama. Tamu-tamu tak diundang itu ada yang mengaku bernama Salam Sudu, Josept Kabore, Alpha Ibrahim, Dugu Ibrahim dll.

Sementara ada pula yang mengaku dirinya bernama Amina Zakih (21), anak yatim-piatu, alamat email,  a_zakih@yahoo.com yang menyatakan memiliki warisan sebesar 5,1 juta dollar Amerika Serikat, peninggalan ayahnya, Late Zakih Suleman yang tewas ketika terjadi pergolakan bersenjata di Sudan. Semasa hidup ayahnya menjabat sebagai Deputy General Manager CNPC Oil Company di Khartoum Refinery Sudan. Uang tersebut direncanakan akan diinvestasikan di negara orang yang mau diajak kerjasama. Sebagai balas jasa untuk orang yang dapat mengeluarkan dia dari negeranya akan memperoleh imbalan sebesar 20 persen dari jumlah uang tersebut.

Selain Amina juga ada yang mengaku bernama Lawrence Dickson (19) alamat email "lawcynthia@cantv.net" yang menyeritakan bahwa dia memiliki warisan dari ayah, Dr. Mara Dickson, pemilik Cornerstone Pharmaceutical Company (C.P.C) di Sierra – Leone yang tewas dalam kecelakaan lalin seusai melakukan perjalanan bisnis ke Libya untuk berinvestasi di bidang eksplorasi migas. Ketika dalam keadaan kritis (sakratulmaut), ayahnya sempat membisikkan kepada Lawrence bahwa dia ada mendepositokan uang sebesar $ 5,5 juta di salahsatu perusahaan sekuritas (the Security Finance Company) di Côte d'Ivoire (Pantai Gading). Hal senada dengan versi lain juga disampaikan oleh orang yang mengaku bernama Mr. Karim Ahmed, alamat email karim.ahmed2000@gmail.com

Sementara ada pula tawaran lain yang menggiurkan dari beberapa orang yang mengaku bernama Joseph Kabore, alamat email josephkabore47@yahoo.com dan DR Issa Adamu, alamat email issaadamu55@gmail.com serta Salam Sudu, alamat email salamsudu6@yahoo.fr yang menyatakan diri sebagai Director Auditing and Accounting Department Bank of Africa (BoA) Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Sedangkan Mr. Dugu Ibrahim, alamat email mrdugu30@gmail.com mengaku menduduki jabatan Foreign Remittance Manager of Bank of African.

Para Sidikat Cyber Crime tersebut mengirim surat email kepada orang-orang tertentu yang sudah mereka lacak jatidirinya dari jejaringan internet kondang manca negara tentang keberadaan calon mangsanya. Kepada para calon mangsanya mereka menjanjikan akan membagi “harta karun” yang berasal dari warisan ataupun uang yang terpedam di Bank of Afrika dengan jumlah jutaan dollar Amerika Serikat, yaitu mereka akan memberikan imbalan sebesar 20 sampai 40 persen dari jumlah uang itu kepada orang yang bersedia membantu mereka. Pada hal tujuan utama mereka hanya ingin mendapatkan nomer rekening mangsanya agar dapat mereka kuras.

Melihat gelagat bahwa penulis sudah mulai masuk perangkap, merekapun sangat gencar masuk ke alamat penulis. Hampir sepuluh surat email berbahasa Inggeris yang penulis terima dari Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso Afrika Barat. Pada awalnya penulis balas dengan bahasa Inggeris dan ada juga yang berbahasa Indonesia, mereka kembali membalas email penulis.

Sebenarnya penulis sudah mengetahui trik-trik mereka untuk menjebak mangsanya agar masuk ke perangkap yang sudah dikonsep secara rapi. Hal itu penulis ketahui dari jaringan google. Tentu ada sidang pembaca bertanya, sudah tahu mereka adalah sindikat Cyber Crime, kenapa masih diladeni ? Ya, kalau tidak diladeni, tentu tulis ini tidak muncul di blog ini. Untuk itu penulis terus mengikuti irama gendang mereka agar dapat mengorek dan memperoleh data bagaimana cara mereka memerankan kegiatan operasionalnya.

Ketika penulis merasa sudah cukup mengumpulkan data bukti otentik yang dialami sendiri untuk bahan tulisan, maka akhirnya penulis balas email mereka dengan memakai bahasa Prancis yang merupakan bahasa pengantar/nasional di Burkina Faso. Dan menyatakan kepada mereka bahwa penulis pernah berkunjung ke kota/negara mereka sebelum meliput kegiatan sepak bola Piala Dunia 2010, bahkan penulis telah melakukan kontak dengan pejabat teras di Bank of Afrika ternyata pejabat tersebut tidak kenal dengan orang-orang yang mengaku dirinya sebagai pejabat di BoA. Untuk pembuktian tentang kunjungan penulis ke negara mereka ada beberapa foto yang penulis lampirkan dalam surat email penulis (Lihat foto terlampir di kolom Media blog ini).

Selain itu penulis juga menyatakan mempunyai beberapa orang teman di kota mereka. Ada polisi dan wartawan. Sejak itu tidak ada lagi surat email dari mereka yang masuk ke alamat email penulis.

Tentu ada yang bertanya, apa benar penulis pernah berkunjung ke Burkina Faso ? Jawabannya BENAR penulis pernah ke ibukota Burkina Faso, yaitu Ouagadougou. Akan  tetapi kunjungan penulis ke negara tersebut bukan secara fisik, melainkan melalui fasilitas jejaringan Google/Google Earth. Mengenai teman-teman di Burkina Faso, penulis hanya mengikuti irama gendang dan tarian mereka.

Kesimpulan penulis, tampaknya ada beberapa anggota sindikat Cyber Crime tersebut sangat menguasai IT dan cara untuk menjebol rekening mangsanya. Oleh sebab itu mereka sangat gencar mencecar calon mangsanya. Untuk itu penulis mengimbau kepada para pengguna email agar berhati-hati, dan jangan sampai masuk ke dalam perangkap mereka. Yang terpenting untuk jadi perhatian, JANGAN DIGUBRIS ! Itu adalah EMAIL SAMPAH yang berasal dari Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Namun sejauh ini belum diketahui secara pasti apakah aksi mereka telah membuahkan hasil.

Sebagai contoh tentang rangkaian beberapa email dimaksud dapat anda baca di bawah ini, termasuk balasan akhir email dari penulis dalam bahasa Prancis. Wouuu…keren ! Kenapa tidak, itu berkat adanya fasilitas Google Translate. Kita tinggal ketik memakaian bahasa Indonesia yang baik dan benar, kemudian kita terjemahkan memakai bahasa yang kita inginkan. Bereskan !
