        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The ease of access to digital transactions\noften leads the public to make hasty decisions. Behind this convenience\nlies the risk of fraud that constantly lurks due to low consumer\nvigilance. The Ministry of Trade (Kemendag) highlights the public\u2019s\ntendency towards impulsive behaviour in recent times. \u201cThe JEDA concept\nserves as one of the preventions against consumer losses,\u201d said Immanuel\nSibero Tarigan during a Blibli press conference in Jakarta on Tuesday\n(28\/4\/2026). For information, JEDA stands for \u201cJangan reaktif, Evaluasi\ninformasi, Double check, dan Ambil keputusan dengan tenang\u201d [Don\u2019t\nreact, Evaluate information, Double check, and Decide calmly]. This\ncampaign encourages the public to pause for a moment for 10 seconds\nbefore responding to something or pressing the payment button. The\nDirector of Consumer Empowerment at the Directorate General of Consumer\nProtection and Orderly Trade of Kemendag sees the initiative to take a\nbrief pause before paying for goods as very important. This step aligns\nwith the government\u2019s ongoing efforts to protect the rights of the wider\npublic in the digital ecosystem. Government data indicates that the\nvirtual trading space remains highly vulnerable to fraudulent practices.\nCases of disputes and financial losses experienced by buyers continue to\ndominate daily reports every year, proving that the level of transaction\nsecurity literacy still needs to be improved. Based on Kemendag\u2019s\nrecords for 2023, out of a total of 7,787 complaints received from all\nchannels, nearly all stemmed from transactions via gadgets. \u201cFrom\nconsumer complaints, actually 99 percent are related to online\ntransactions,\u201d Immanuel revealed. A survey by the Indonesian Internet\nService Providers Association (APJII) shows that 22.12 percent of\nIndonesian internet users have experienced online fraud. The high level\nof vulnerability requires extra vigilance from all parties. Blibli\u2019s\nHead of PR, Nazrya Octora, also presented additional data regarding the\nmagnitude of virtual traps that lurk for the public every day.<\/p>",
