JAKARTA - The Financial Services Authority (OJK) through the Illegal Financial Activity Eradication Task Force (previously known as the Investment Alert Task Force) reminded the public about the many reports regarding the wrong mode of transfer from illegal loans.

It was stated that the illegal loan sent some funds to someone through their account at the bank, even though the person never applied for a loan.

"This person then threatens the recipient to immediately carry out an appeal or repayment with a larger amount of funds," said OJK in its minutes today, Thursday, August 3.

In this regard, the Task Force provides four tips for people who are victims of fraud modes.

First, not using the funds that have been received from these individuals.

Second, collect the evidence of the wrong transfer via screenshot, then go to the nearest police station and ask for a letter of receipt of the report. Save the evidence of the report well.

"Third, report this to the bank and apply for detention of funds' for the transfer of these individuals. Detention of these funds is carried out until it is clear who is responsible for it," said OJK.

Then the fourth is contacted and terrorized by an individual, there is no need to be afraid or worried.

Information that you do not use the funds that have been issued or have never applied for a loan. If necessary, contact blocking can be carried out
