Beware Of Package Delivery Fraud, J&T Cargo Distributes Anticipation Tips
JAKARTA - One of the logistics service provider companies in Indonesia, J&T Cargo, urges the entire community to be careful about fraud on behalf of their services.
Because, the company admitted that it had recently received reports of individuals on behalf of J&T Cargo representatives to deceive customers into sending some money or their personal information.
We find it necessary to provide information and education about the modes of fraud that are currently rampant. We strongly advise customers to always verify the correctness of information from those who contact them, especially when dealing with financial transactions or personal data," said Nola, Media Relations J&T Cargo.
In the first case, customers receive calls from someone claiming to be a J&T Cargo courier and say they have packages that need to be sent, and payments are needed up.
To prove the identity and authenticity of the package, the courier who is also a fraud, will provide a payment barcode, and once paid, the package never arrived and the courier could no longer be contacted.
In the second case, a customer received a call from an individual claiming to be a J&T Cargo delivery outlet, stating that the goods he ordered were damaged in the shipping process, but the company would provide compensation.
The fraudster asks customers to scan the barcode and provide information on the bank account for the compensation process. Once the data is obtained, it is then used to access and drain funds in his account.
