Indonesia receives 432,637 scam reports, with Rp9.1 trillion reported lost

Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority said its Anti Scam Center had received 432,637 complaints by Jan.

14, 2026.

People reported losing Rp9.1 trillion, while the center blocked or recovered Rp432 billion.

More than 397,000 accounts had been blocked.

Most complaints came from Java, and shopping transaction scams were the most common reported type.

The center was receiving about 1,000 complaints a day, and around 80% of reports arrived more than 12 hours after the scam.

That delay matters because stolen money can leave a victim’s account in less than an hour.

The funds can also move quickly through banks, e-wallets, crypto, digital gold and online shopping platforms, making them harder to trace and block.

The authority says faster coordination across industries and sectors is needed to stop the transfers.
