Akhir-akhir ini pemanfaatkan internet untuk melakukan praktik penipuan ternyata semakin marak dan makin canggih. Sebuah pengalaman menarik dialami seorang teman yang sempat berkenalan dengan gadis asal London, Inggris yang mengaku bernama Lina Chaterine Herman. Canggihnya, penipuan ini melibatkan perusahaan kargo fiktif dan menggunakan jaringan internasional.
Menurut cerita teman saya ini, awalnya dia mendapat kenalan di www.tagged.com. Setelah itu perkenalan berlanjut melalui email pribadi karena cewek London ini juga memberikan alamat emailnya, yaitu lina_cute@yahoo.com. Dia mengaku sebagai profesional analys komputer di perusahaan Dell Computer di Inggris. Dari perkenalan itu, si gadis pun mengirimkan fotonya. Berhubung teman gue cowok, ya lihat foto gadis cantik, bule lagi, tentu bersambut.
Dari sekian kali berkirim email, tentunya dengan bumbu-bumbu manis cinta, si gadis bersedia menjadi istri teman gue tuh. Nah, sebelum dia datang ke Indonesia, si Lina mengirimkan sebuah paket yang lumayan menggiurkan. Diantaranya sebuah laptop baru merk Dell, ipad, kamera digital, dan uang senilai 20.000 poundsterling Inggris. Hitung saja sendiri berapa banyak kalau dirupiahkan, kalau tidak salah mencapai hampir Rp 200 juta.
Berikut adalah salah satu email yang dikirimkan Lina ke teman gue. Siapa yang gak jatuh cinta dengan kata-kata manis, kiriman uang berlimpah, dan fotonya yang sensual.

Subject: Darling i am sorry, i would have gotten back to you but i felt asleep
Darling you are so full of love and wisdom about life that when ever i read your message, it really makes me think that I could stay there forever with you, just to listen to your open mind and enjoy your dearly and lovely affection, for it is peaceful and inviting. Darling you have awake me, you have helped me see things in a brighter way, In a happier, and enlightening way. For I was once drowning from my own fears, for some years now ,completely cynical about love, about hope and security.
Darling let me round off by telling you what an amazing man you are and that you fill my life with joy and satisfaction and my heart with love and happiness. Before I met you I had started to loose my faith in love, and I wasn't sure there was someone out there for me again. Now I am positive that there is no one in the world that could complete me like you have really done, or even come close. Love seems more real and true than I ever thought it could and I just want to say thank you for everything,
thank you for being persistent in your fight to win my heart because you have won it already and my heart is completely yours forever.
I just want you to know that I love you and I am willing to stick it out through the good and bad, happy and sad moment , because I choose you and also love you.

Inti cara atau trik yang mereka gunakan adalah menahan paket barang yang disisipi dengan uang didalamnya. Menurut aturan negara manapun, namanya kiriman paket barang memang tidak diperobolehkan memasukkan uang ke dalamnya. Dengan alasan itulah pihak kargo akan mengirimkan email atau menepon untuk meminta biaya atau denda guna menebus paket barang itu agar bisa lolos. Asal tahu saja, teman saya itu diminta membayar sekitar 4.000 ringgit Malaysia. Ini adalah email pihak kargo di Malaysia yang dikirimkan ke teman gue itu.

Namun untungnya teman gue tuh masih rasional dan bisa berpikir jernih. Teman gue itu juga sempat ditelepon oleh staf kantor kargo di Malaysia yang memberitahukan tentang kiriman barang yang sempat tertahan itu. Namun teman saya tak tergoyahkan dan tidak mengirimkan uang sepeserpun untuk menebusnya. Kata teman gue, dia tidak mengirimkan uang bukan karena sadar ini penipuan, melainkan karena dia memang tidak punya uang sebanyak itu hehehe....
Jadi, apabila Anda yang mendapatkan email atau tawaran perkenalan yang memikat, waspadalah. Saat ini penipuan yang memanfaatkan internet banyak ragam dan strateginya. Dari cara halus, web phising, freud internet, dan sebagainya. Yang penting, jangan sampai Anda mengeluarkan uang untuk orang yang tidak dikenal. Juga jangan tergiur dengan besarnya uang yang dikirimkan karena itu cuma omong kosong.
