        "summary": "Pertamina has urged users of subsidised fuel to reset their barcodes if their quotas diminish without usage, as a measure to counter fraudulent activities by rogue fuel station operators who secretly collect customer barcodes. One such operator was found with dozens of stolen barcodes, leading to state losses of Rp 276 billion since 2013, prompting temporary suspension of the implicated station and warnings of permanent closure for repeat offenders. Users can reset once daily via the Pertamina website or contact the call centre at 135 for verification if permanently blocked.",
        "content": "<p>Sales Area Manager of Pertamina Patra Niaga Jambi, Khoirul Anwar, has\nurged the public using subsidised fuel oil (BBM) to reset their barcodes\nif their usage quotas decrease even though they have not used them. This\nis to anticipate criminal fraud resulting from the actions of rogue fuel\nstation (SPBU) personnel who secretly take consumers\u2019 barcodes. \u201cIf any\nmembers of the public feel that their BBM usage quota has decreased\nwithout their knowledge, we urge them to reset it; our website already\nprovides a barcode reset feature,\u201d explained Khoirul, quoted from\nKompas.com on Friday (10\/4\/2026). A fuel station operator with the\ninitial N possessed dozens of subsidised BBM barcodes belonging to\nconsumers, which he obtained through improper means. \u201cOne operator could\nhave up to dozens of barcodes, which turned out to be photos of his\ncustomers\u2019 barcodes taken secretly,\u201d he clarified. The losses borne by\nthe state due to their actions amounted to Rp 276 billion, as the scheme\nhad been ongoing since 2013. \u201cFor the SPBU (caught red-handed), we have\ntemporarily suspended it. In imposing sanctions, we do so gradually:\nwarnings are given, and if violations continue, we close it\npermanently,\u201d Khoirul emphasised. It should be noted that barcode resets\nare limited to a maximum of once per day. If permanently blocked due to\nmisuse, users can contact the Pertamina Call Centre at 135 for\nverification and unblocking.<\/p>",
