Dozens of victims of phishing crimes returned to the operational office of the financing company PT FinAccel Finance Indonesia or Kredivo in the Kebayoran Lama area, South Jakarta on Friday, December 24, 2021. They hoped that the bill limit that had swelled due to the fraud would no longer be billed by debt collectors.

Previously, these Kredivo users were victims of being trapped by hackers after being contacted via telephone, under the pretext of providing promos, bonuses, or gifts. Not long after, the victims received inflated bills for purchasing goods via Bukalapak’s e-commerce platform.

One of the victims, Qodri admitted that the fraudster had debited the limit of up to Rp. 16 million. This 25-year-old man said that two weeks ago he had visited Kredivo’s office to mediate with several other colleagues. Currently, the outstanding due to fraud from some of these colleagues has been deleted by Kredivo.

Qodri came to Kredivo’s office this time to submit additional evidence. “I didn’t have time to submit the evidence yesterday. Now I want to complete it, so that the original bill from me and the bill from the fraudster is separated, so that it can be deleted like other friends,” he said when met on Friday, December 24, 2021.

He stated that he was actively using Kredivo and still had a bill. The scam ensues when the fraudster calls Qodri to offer a reward. This is what causes him to believe and be ensnared by fraudsters.

“When called, he (the fraudster) can say that I still have the bill correctly, my personal data is also true. How can you not believe it?” said Qodri.

Therefore, when asked to visit a fraudulent link (website), Qodri followed suit. “In the end, I actually got a bill for the purchase of a cellphone for Rp. 14 million and a racket which cost him millions,” he said.

Doni tarafından başka bir hikaye anlatıldı. Her gün çevrimiçi motosiklet taksi şoförü olarak çalışan 45 yaşındaki bir adam, adaleti sağlamak için birkaç meslektaşıyla birlikte Kredivo’nun ofisine geri dönmeye cesaret etti.

“Dari puluhan korban, sudah ada beberapa orang yang clear  duluan. Menurut saya, Kredivo jangan tanggung-tanggung kalau membereskan masalah. Kasihan yang tagihannya masih ada itu masih diteror debt collector, mereka yang lunas sudah enak,” kata Doni.
