OJK’s Anti-Scam Center Blocks 5,987 Fraudulent Accounts, Saves IDR 27.1 Billion

With IASC, victims of financial scams have a platform to report fraudulent activities. They can submit relevant documents and data through the website, which will then be processed by the center. Victims can also report the fraud directly to financial service providers, who will work with IASC to investigate and resolve the issue.

Hudiyanto, the Head of the Secretariat for Satgas PASTI, recently revealed that the total verified losses from scamming activities had reached IDR 29.2 billion within just two weeks of IASC’s formation. The data was based on 2,480 reports from financial service providers and 310 complaints from the public.

“If a member of the public reports a scam to us, we will work closely with all relevant stakeholders to quickly trace and block fraudulent accounts once the report is verified,” Hudiyanto emphasized during a visit by journalists from Makassar to Jakarta on December 2, 2024. (Uki Ruknuddin)
