TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The face of Indonesian actress Nagita Slavina appeared in a Facebook video offering Rp50 million in assistance to social media users. The video was uploaded by the account Raffinagita1717 on June 18, 2026. Intrigued netizens were asked to arrange the words "H - B - E - R - K - A" and then send their answers via the account's Messenger service.
"This is real, not a hoax," said Raffi Ahmad's wife in the 18-second video. As of July 8, the post had garnered 108 comments. Some netizens sent the words "NAGITA," "BERKAH," and "BERHAK" according to the instructions in the word game on the screen.
FACT CHECK
Tempo's investigation indicates that the video is not an official announcement from Nagita Slavina or her company, Rans Entertainment. Nagita's audio had been manipulated using artificial intelligence (AI) to deceive victims.
Tempo's Fact Check Team found at least 50 similar videos with varying visuals—both featuring Nagita alone and with Raffi Ahmad—circulating on Facebook in the past month.
Fake Accounts and Microtargeting Ads
Nagita Slavina, Raffi Ahmad, and Rans Entertainment have official accounts with blue checkmarks on Instagram, Thread, and Facebook. Nagita Slavina's official Facebook account was created in 2015 and currently has 1.6 million followers. Meanwhile, Rans Entertainment's official Facebook account has 4.5 million followers.
Nagita's official Instagram account @Raffinagita1717 has also been active since 2015. For commercial business, she manages the account @Tokomamagigi on Instagram as well as @Raffi_nagita and @Tokomamagigiofficial on TikTok.
However, Tempo detected at least 43 fake accounts impersonating Nagita, Raffi, and Rans Entertainment. Thirty-four of the accounts were created simultaneously in May and June 2026, with the remainder occurring between February and April 2026. This surge in fake account creation indicates an organized movement.
Of the total number of fake accounts, 35 were actively running paid ads on Meta. Using these ads, their fraudulent content could infiltrate the target's Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, or Thread homepages. This method utilized microtargeting, a digital advertising strategy that targets individuals specifically based on their age, interests, location, and online behavior.
Tempo grouped these 43 fake accounts into seven groups based on similarities in the videos they used. The similarity in visual content strongly suggests that the network of accounts is controlled by the same perpetrator.
The following are the seven videos and the names of the accounts that shared them, along with data visualization using Claude.ai:
Group 1
Sixteen accounts shared the video of Nagita in a brown dress, with 15 of these accounts using ads to target Facebook users.
Group 2
Sixteen accounts shared a video of Nagita wearing a floral dress, 12 of which advertised on Meta.
Group 3 and Group 4
Nagita's video was shared by two accounts, all of which were advertising. Meanwhile, the video of Raffi Ahmad in a white shirt was shared by four accounts, three of which were advertising.
Group 5
This video of Raffi Ahmad promoting Wondr BNI was shared by a fake account advertising on Meta.
Group 6 and Group 7
Group 6's video was shared by one account advertising on Meta, while Raffi's last video was shared by three accounts, one of which also advertised.
Context Manipulation and the Use of Deepfakes
The perpetrators carried out the scam using two digital tactics: manipulating the audio of the original video using a deepfake technique based on imitation, and distributing an old video that had been cropped out of context.
Reverse image search results for the first video—of Nagita in a brown dress—led to a post by the TikTok account @Tokomamamigiofficial on March 25, 2024. The original video only contained the announcement of the winner of the THRans program during a live TikTok broadcast, without the promise of Rp50 million in donations through word guessing.
Tempo tested this fake video using two artificial intelligence content detection tools. The AI or Not analysis showed an 86 percent probability that the video was a deepfake.
The second video is identical to Rans Entertainment's live YouTube broadcast on May 22, 2020, titled "Hastag Lebarans." At that time, Rans Entertainment distributed Eid gifts live.
Even though the video is genuine, the narrative of the distribution of Rp50 million via Messenger is a fabrication of the perpetrator.
Another video was copied from a YouTube post.
Rans Entertainment on May 20, 2020, about the #Hadiahlebarans program with a total prize of Rp 1 billion. The winner was drawn from the YouTube comments section, not through a word quiz on Messenger.
Meanwhile, the video of Raffi Ahmad wearing a white shirt with a Presidential Special Envoy pin was a clip of content from the TikTok account @Sobbanditamiya on June 11, 2025. The original video simply contained birthday greetings for his colleague, David Subandi. Tempo had previously declared this manipulated content to be erroneous.
The next clip was taken from Rans Entertainment's YouTube channel on May 15, 2020, titled "Regrets Passing 1 Billion Rupiah. No Lies. No Deception. It's Forfeited If You Don't Watch #EIDHAPPY #EPS3".
Similar to Nagita's previous video, the prizes were distributed via direct phone calls to fans, not text messages on social media.
Finally, Raffi's video promoting Bank BNI on Instagram @raffinagita1717 and TikTok @raffi_nagita on March 31, 2026, was also faked. The original content only promoted a Rp150,000 discount for BNI credit and debit card transactions.
The perpetrators altered the audio of the promotional video using artificial intelligence technology. The Hive Moderation tool showed a 99.3 percent probability that the audio was altered using artificial intelligence technology, while the AI or Not tool confirmed a 77 percent probability of artificial intelligence.
Scam to Steal Facebook Users' Personal Data
This fake quiz scheme is designed with easy questions to induce victims to respond quickly. The perpetrators utilize psychological manipulation to extract victims' sensitive information.
Cybersecurity observer Alfons Tanujaya explained that the primary targets of this syndicate are social media users who are not yet accustomed to digital verification.
"This scam targets victims who are somewhat technologically illiterate and easily believe content without cross-checking," Alfons told Tempo when contacted via text message on Tuesday, June 30, 2026.
Facebook users are vulnerable to being targeted because its demographic is dominated by baby boomers (born 1946–1960) and Generation X (born 1960s to 1980s). This group is more easily fooled by the lure of instant money and has difficulty detecting visual manipulation based on imitation.
Alfons added that after victims reply to messages on Messenger, the perpetrators direct them to a more sensitive private chat. This is where advanced methods are launched, ranging from sending booby-trapped links, requesting the installation of remote control apps, to hijacking victims' social media accounts.
A cybersecurity expert from Monash University Indonesia, Muhammad Johan Alibasa, emphasized that the main objective of this quiz scam is to steal personal data (phishing). The perpetrators usually target authentication codes (one-time passwords/OTPs) or extort money from victims to secure prizes.
"The content of this video is fraudulent, because the amount awarded is quite large for simply answering simple questions," said Johan on Monday, June 30, 2026.
CONCLUSION
Based on fact-checking, the narrative of dozens of videos claiming that Nagita Slavina and Rans Entertainment are distributing Rp50 million in aid through a word-guessing quiz on Facebook is confirmed to be false.
This content constitutes a digital scam using a fake quiz. The perpetrators utilize a network of fake accounts, microtargeting advertising features, and manipulated original audio and video using deepfake technology. The goal is to provoke netizen interaction to steal personal data, hack accounts, and even carry out financial extortion.
