JAKARTA - Chief Executive of the Behavior Supervisory of Financial, Education, and Consumer Protection Business Actors of the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Friderica Widyasari Dewi openly revealed that she had been a victim of online fraud.

For this reason, Kiki, Frederica's nickname, asked the public to always be aware of all forms of fraud if they carry out financial transactions.

"I've been stabbed. I'm not aware either. In IG (instagram) I have a direct message. Friends call Mbak Kiki," he told the media crew in a media gathering in Simalungun, North Sumatra, quoted on Saturday, August 10.

Kiki said, the types of fraud that must be faced by the community are now increasingly diverse. He admitted that the modu he experienced was fraud on behalf of donations or charity.

"My friend said that I don't believe it. But this person offers charity, so it's moved," added Kiki.

Suspicion also arose after the transfer process was completed and did not receive a response from the friend.

Kiki said fraudsters often map targets so that the scamming victims are easier to believe in the fraud mode carried out.

For this reason, Kiki said that OJK will form an anti-scaming center to combat fraud that is currently rampant in the financial sector.

Kiki explained that this ASC is a form of cooperation between the Task Force for the Eradication of Illegal Financial Activities (Certainly) and other relevant institutions to coordinate in realizing rapid handling of fraud in the financial sector.

"With the anti-scam center, we hope to prevent greater losses and pursue fraud perpetrators more effectively," continued Kiki.
