Head of OJK Cirebon, Agus Muntholib, stated on Sunday that his office received a report of someone claiming they could clear debts, particularly in the Ciamis area, by manipulating data in OJK’s Financial Information Service System (SLIK).
He emphasized that OJK has no such program and labeled these claims as scams.
“SLIK data can only be updated once the debtor has fully repaid their obligations,” he clarified. “Anyone saying OJK can erase credit is spreading a hoax.”
Muntholib urged the public to immediately report such offers and never share personal data—such as ID numbers, family registration details, or OTP codes—with unverified parties.
He highlighted that scammers often exploit economic hardship by impersonating official institutions to collect personal information.
The public is advised to remain vigilant, verify financial information, and protect personal data as a safeguard against cybercrime. Muntholib also encouraged increased public awareness and education to prevent future fraud.
