IASC Saves Funds From Financial Transaction Fraud, Value Of IDR 7.8 Billion

JAKARTA - Indonesia Anti-Scam Center (IASC) or the Center for Financial Transaction Fraud Management saved as much as IDR 7.8 billion from the practice of financial transaction fraud since the coordination forum was launched from November 22 to December 2, 2024.

"The total number of reports submitted to date is 2,790 reports," said Chairman of the Secretariat of the Task Force for the Eradication of Illegal Financial Activities (Satgas Pasti) Hudiyanto as reported by ANTARA, Monday, December 2.

He detailed that the total funds saved were still blocked which would later be returned to the victim.

As for the total incoming reports, as many as 2,480 came from financial service business actors (PUJK) and as many as 310 public reports.

Hudiyanto added that there have been 2,672 reports that have been verified, and the rest are waiting to be verified with a total verified loss of Rp29.2 billion.

Senior Executive Analyst of the Behavior Supervision Specialist Group for Financial Services Business Actors, Education and Protection of Consumers of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) said the value of the funds saved was relatively small.

The reason, he continued, is thought to be due to the late reporting submitted by the victim so that the funds drained by the perpetrators of the crime are estimated to have undergone several book transfers.

"Because the money continues to run. As soon as we can prevent it from the bank, we will block it," he added.

In addition, the number of reported accounts reached 4,960 accounts and blocked accounts reached 1,580 accounts.

He appealed to the public if they experienced this incident to immediately report through the Indonesia Anti-Scam Center (IASC)/Center for Handling Financial Transaction Fraud or through financial service providers.

The public, he said, can access the reporting page via iasc.ojk.go.id by entering the identity to the chronology of fraud and other data.

Reports can also be submitted via electronic mail (email) via the address iasc@ojk.go.id.

IASC is an OJK initiative with the authorities/agencies/ministerialities who are members of the Pasti Task Force and supported by related industrial associations.

The target of the IASC is to block fraud transactions and save funds from victims, blacklist fraud perpetrators and legal action in collaboration with the Police.
