Dicky Kartikoyono, Executive Head of Financial Services Business\nConduct, Education, and Consumer Protection at OJK, said the findings\ncame from cyber patrols. Information was also obtained from the Task\nForce for Eradicating Illegal Financial Activities (Satgas PASTI) in\nvarious regions. Several entities are suspected of offering debt\nresolution services by charging fees from the public. These entities\nalso claim to be registered with the OJK. \u201cCurrently, the information is\nunder further investigation to determine the necessary follow-up\nactions,\u201d Dicky Kartikoyono said in a written response received in\nJakarta on Sunday, 24 May 2026. Public vigilance should be heightened,\nparticularly if offers request upfront payments, use OJK branding, or\nfalsely claim to be associated with the OJK. \u201cConsumers are urged to\nalways verify the legitimacy and accuracy of information through OJK\u2019s\nofficial channels before conducting transactions or sharing personal\ndata,\u201d Dicky said. The OJK, through Satgas PASTI, previously halted\noperations of an entity with a similar modus operandi. The entity was PT\nMalahayati Nusantara Raya, or Malahayati.

Several of the company\u2019s\npublished contents were identified as using the OJK logo. The company\nalso claimed to be licensed and registered with the OJK. Malahayati was\nalso operating activities inconsistent with the licence issued by the\nMinistry of Investment and Downstream Industry.
