Reporting from HaiBunda, Anna deceived many other socialites. Anna often flexes on her social media by taking vacations to luxury places with her friends, hiring photographers to private jets.
Anna acts by acting like her card has a problem and asks her traveling companion to pay. However, Anna did not pay any of the money she used. The value of the fraud even reached Rp4 billion!
The story of Anna Delvey began in 2014, but in 2022 it is still a topic of conversation since Netflix "perpetuated" her story through a documentary called Inventing Anna.

This fake Crazy Rich from Thailand became a controversy after it was discovered that his luxurious lifestyle was fake. This man often flexes on his social media such as uploading photos of Garmin watches, Apple gadgets, famous designer clothes, Starbucks coffee, etc.
Reporting from Wolipop, the fake was actually exposed by netizens after this man accidentally uploaded a photo of expensive goods and his welfare card. So, this welfare card is a special card for Thai people whose income is below 100,000 baht per year.
Those who are entitled to the card are of course people who can't afford it. After being caught, Wachrin finally admitted that all the luxury items on his social media belonged to his friend. He even admits that he is just an ordinary poor person.
3. Lissette Calveiro
This Miami-based celeb is tempted by showing off wealth and building a fake luxury life image. Initially Lissette moved to New York for an internship. But because she was attracted to the image of a luxurious life, Lisette began to be dragged into hedonism.
Reporting from detikInet, Lissette spends her time in expensive cafes and continues to buy clothes online to upload on Instagram. Due to insufficient income as an intern, Lissette forced herself by swiping her credit card until she owed USD 10 thousand or around Rp. 142 million.
But thankfully, Lissette finally realized her unhealthy financial life. Lissette took a break from social media and took a hiatus to save money on paying off her credit card debt.
4. Azura Luna
The last and controversial fake socialite is actually from Indonesia. Not only through flexing fake wealth, Azura also cheated from his name.
The woman whose real name is Enjang Widhi Palupi admitted that she graduated from psychology from America on her LinkedIn social media. Reporting from HaiBunda, Azura tricked her ex-lover by claiming to own a 10% stake in the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong.
In addition, Azura also deceived her friend, Diane, by borrowing an expensive painting from her collection but never returning it. Azura Luna has also sold Hermes KW bags with a value of Rp. 2.1 billion.
More controversial than the Indra Kenz case, Azura has even joined the fugitives and has become the target of Interpol from various countries. All of his social media were deleted and even today, no one knows where Azura is.
