Kadis Kominfo Papua Imbau Masyarakat Waspadai Penipuan Berkedok Investasi dan Kerja Paruh Waktu

JAYAPURA – Kepala Dinas Komunikasi dan Informatika Provinsi Papua, Jeri Agus Yudianto, mengimbau masyarakat agar meningkatkan kewaspadaan terhadap berbagai modus penipuan berkedok investasi maupun penawaran kerja paruh waktu secara daring. Imbauan tersebut disampaikan menyusul penghentian kegiatan usaha CANTVR dan YUDIA oleh Satuan Tugas Pemberantasan Aktivitas Keuangan Ilegal (Satgas PASTI). [4/8] 

Jeri Agus Yudianto yang juga merupakan salah satu anggota Satgas PASTI Papua mengatakan, masyarakat perlu lebih berhati-hati terhadap setiap penawaran investasi maupun pekerjaan yang menjanjikan keuntungan tinggi tanpa kejelasan legalitas.

"Masyarakat diharapkan tidak mudah tergiur dengan tawaran investasi maupun pekerjaan daring yang menjanjikan keuntungan tidak wajar. Pastikan legalitas perusahaan, aplikasi, maupun platform digital sebelum melakukan transaksi keuangan," ujarnya.

Berdasarkan siaran pers Satgas PASTI, CANTVR diduga melakukan penipuan dengan modus penyalahgunaan nama perusahaan asing berizin untuk menawarkan investasi saham melalui aplikasi dengan sistem penyetoran dana dan janji keuntungan berdasarkan tingkat keanggotaan, termasuk menawarkan pembelian saham IPO fiktif. Sementara itu, YUDIA diduga menawarkan pekerjaan paruh waktu secara daring dengan skema penyetoran dana, penyelesaian tugas harian berupa menonton film drama Cina, pembelian hak cipta film, serta perekrutan anggota baru (member get member) untuk memperoleh pendapatan harian dan bonus tambahan.

Hasil klarifikasi dan verifikasi Satgas PASTI menunjukkan bahwa kedua entitas tersebut tidak memenuhi ketentuan perizinan yang berlaku. Selain itu, aplikasi maupun situs web yang digunakan tidak tercatat sebagai Penyelenggara Sistem Elektronik (PSE) di Kementerian Komunikasi dan Digital Republik Indonesia. Atas temuan tersebut, Satgas PASTI telah menghentikan kegiatan CANTVR dan YUDIA, melakukan pemblokiran terhadap aplikasi dan tautan (URL) terkait, serta berkoordinasi dengan aparat penegak hukum untuk penanganan lebih lanjut.

Jeri menegaskan bahwa kewaspadaan masyarakat menjadi kunci utama dalam mencegah kerugian akibat aktivitas keuangan ilegal. Karena itu, masyarakat diminta selalu memeriksa legalitas setiap penawaran investasi maupun pekerjaan secara daring sebelum melakukan transaksi.

"Jangan mudah percaya pada penawaran yang menjanjikan keuntungan besar dalam waktu singkat. Selalu lakukan pengecekan legalitas melalui kanal resmi sebelum mengambil keputusan atau menyetorkan dana," tegasnya.

Masyarakat yang menemukan indikasi investasi ilegal atau pinjaman online ilegal dapat menyampaikan pengaduan melalui SIPASTI di sipasti.ojk.go.id, Kontak OJK 157, atau email konsumen@ojk.go.id. Sementara itu, masyarakat yang menjadi korban penipuan transaksi keuangan dapat melaporkannya melalui Indonesia Anti-Scam Centre (IASC) di iasc.ojk.go.id agar dapat segera ditindaklanjuti sesuai ketentuan yang berlaku.  ***

JAYAPURA – The Head of the Papua Provincial Communications and Informatics Office, Jeri Agus Yudianto, has urged the public to remain vigilant against various scams disguised as investment opportunities and online part-time job offers. The appeal follows the shutdown of the business activities of CANTVR and YUDIA by the Illegal Financial Activities Eradication Task Force. [4/8]

Jeri Agus Yudianto, who is also a member of Papua's Illegal Financial Activities Eradication Task Force, advised the public to exercise greater caution when considering any investment or job offers that promise unusually high returns without clear legal standing.

"The public should not be easily tempted by investment or online job offers that promise unrealistic profits. Always verify the legality of the company, application, or digital platform before making any financial transactions," he said.

According to a press release issued by Illegal Financial Activities Eradication Task Force, CANTVR is suspected of committing fraud by misusing the name of a licensed foreign company to offer stock investments through an application that required users to deposit funds and promised returns based on membership levels, including the sale of fictitious IPO shares. Meanwhile, YUDIA allegedly offered online part-time jobs through a scheme that required participants to deposit funds, complete daily tasks such as watching Chinese-language films, purchasing film copyrights, and recruiting new members (member-get-member), in exchange for daily income and additional bonuses.

The results of the Illegal Financial Activities Eradication Task Force clarification and verification found that both entities failed to comply with the applicable licensing requirements. In addition, the applications and websites they used were not registered as Electronic System Operators with Indonesia's Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs. Based on these findings, the Illegal Financial Activities Eradication Task Force has terminated the operations of CANTVR and YUDIA, blocked the related applications and URLs, and coordinated with law enforcement authorities for further legal action.

Jeri emphasized that public awareness is the key to preventing financial losses from illegal financial activities. Therefore, the public is urged to always verify the legality of any online investment or employment offer before making any transactions.

"Do not easily believe offers that promise substantial profits within a short period. Always verify their legality through official channels before making decisions or depositing funds," he stressed.

Members of the public who identify indications of illegal investments or illegal online lending activities may submit complaints through SIPASTI at sipasti.ojk.go.id, OJK Contact Center 157, or by email at konsumen@ojk.go.id. Meanwhile, victims of financial transaction fraud may report their cases through the Indonesia Anti-Scam Centre (IASC) at iasc.ojk.go.id so that they can be promptly followed up in accordance with applicable regulations. ***
