Chinese National Involved in Fake E-Ticket SMS Case Impersonating the Attorney General's Office: This is Their Role

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – The Cyber Crime Directorate (Dittipidsiber) of the Indonesian National Police (Polri) has revealed the role of a Chinese national in the case of fake e-ticket SMS messages that impersonated the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung).

The Director of Cyber Crime (Dirtipidsiber) of the Indonesian National Police (Polri), Brigadier General Pol Himawan Bayu Aji, at the Polri Headquarters in Jakarta on Wednesday, said that investigators had named five suspects in this case, namely WTP (29), FN (41), RW (40), BAP (38), and RJ (29).

“The suspects in Indonesia acted as intermediaries, receiving and carrying out orders from the Chinese national,” he said at the Polri Headquarters in Jakarta on Wednesday.

He revealed that, based on the investigation, suspects WTP, FN, and RW were operating under the direction of the Chinese national, who used the Telegram accounts ‘Lee SK’ and ‘Daisy Qiu’.

To support their operations in Indonesia, the perpetrators from China sent SIM boxes, which are used for SMS blasting, directly to the suspects in Indonesia.

“From the seven SIM box units, two shipments were identified in September and December 2025, and the rest are still being investigated,” he said.

Based on the shipping evidence, the SIM box equipment was sent by someone named Wuga from Shenzhen City, Guangdong, China. The first shipment was in September 2025, and the second was in December 2025.

However, the SIM box equipment was not sent for free. The Chinese national initially paid for the equipment, and the payment was made by deducting it from the commission received by the suspects.

“We estimate the price of one SIM box to be around Rp4 million,” he said.
