Shocking Scam: 'Doctor' Fakes Wife & Child's Tragic Death To Gain Sympathy From Followers

16-May-2023

In a shocking turn of events, a supposed doctor's heart-wrenching story of the tragic demise of his wife and child has been revealed as a fabrication intended to gain sympathy on social media.


The elaborate ruse came to light after Syahr Musafir, author of the book "Hikayat Budak PhD," conducted a thorough investigation into the identity of the individual behind the account.



The story originated on Facebook, where a user named Iqbal Hamdi captivated readers with a profoundly sorrowful narrative.

Claiming to be a doctor working in Australia, 'Iqbal Hamdi' shared an emotional account of his life at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, where he alleged that his wife passed away after giving birth, while his child succumbed to mental health issues.

Detailed investigations into Dr Iqbal Hamdi's profile, including a screenshot of their picture and further analysis using Google Lens, revealed that the picture originally attributed to Dr Iqbal Hamdi actually belonged to Hengky Lim, an Indonesian nurse employed in Los Angeles. The discovery left many astounded.


However, the truth behind this tale of tragedy was uncovered by Syahr's meticulous research.

Additionally, the cover photo featuring children claimed to be Melissa and the late Rayyan turned out to be pictures sourced from Pixabay.com, not depicting the real children associated with the tragic story.


The fact that thousands of social media users fell for the emotional narrative has only fueled the disappointment surrounding this incident.

The widespread impact of this viral story cannot be denied. It has left a profound impact on readers, with some even shedding tears upon reading it. However, for those familiar with Adelaide, a place of personal significance, such as where they studied, lived, worked, got married, had children, and built a life for over eight years, suspicions were raised. 


The use of deceptive imagery, whether in videos, pictures manipulated through AI, or even text manipulated through platforms like ChatGPT, sheds light on the pervasive nature of deception in today's world. It begs the question: What can be trusted anymore?
