inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Chief Executive of the Supervisory Agency for Financial Services Business Conduct, Education and Consumer Protection of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) Friderica Widyasari Dewi revealed various trends in the latest fraud modes that have occurred in the financial sector.

The first is the offer of part-time work by providing certain rewards if they have carried out the work, such as providing comments or likes on various social media applications.

"Initially they will get a certain amount, but then they are asked to deposit a bigger number than their reward. As it turns out the promised upcoming next reward is not coming at all," said Chief Executive Friderica, on Wednesday (10/2/2024).

In addition, fraudulent investment offers are also rampant through other new methods, namely illegal investments with the mode of renting Artificial Intelligence (AI) networks .

The application of this mode is considered to attract some people because it is considered a form of the latest investment because it utilizes AI, even though it is just a fraudulent investment.

OJK is currently finalizing the implementation plan of the Anti Scam Center (ASC). As a form of consumer and public protection in the financial sector, ASC is said to accelerate the handling of official scam fraud cases in the financial sector by blocking the perpetrators' accounts, identifying the perpetrators of the crime, and making efforts to enforce the law.

Through this concrete step, it is hoped that efforts can be made to recover financial losses from victims and provide a respite effect for perpetrators of the crime.
