| DPMPTSP Kotim warns the public to stay alert for scams using the OSS service name to steal money and personal data through illegal methods. |
The Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP) of Kotawaringin Timur (Kotim), Central Kalimantan, warned the public on Thursday in Sampit to remain cautious of fraud schemes using the name of the Online Single Submission (OSS) service, following a rise in digital licensing scams.
Head of DPMPTSP Kotim Diana Setiawan said the scams could cause financial losses and threaten the security of people’s personal data.
She explained that irresponsible individuals have been exploiting the OSS name to request money, collect personal information, and illegally offer permit processing services.
“This scheme needs to be watched closely because it can harm the public financially and compromise personal data security,” Diana said.
The warning was distributed through DPMPTSP Kotim’s official website and social media accounts as authorities responded to the growing number of fraud attempts linked to the government’s digital licensing platform.
According to Diana, scammers often take advantage of the public’s limited understanding of the official OSS system, which operates entirely online and through verified channels.
She emphasized that all OSS services are processed through the official system and can be accessed directly by users without unclear third-party intermediaries.
Residents were urged not to trust suspicious text messages, phone calls, or information claiming to come from OSS.
“This issue deserves serious attention, especially because perpetrators exploit the public’s lack of understanding about the official and integrated OSS service system,” she said.
DPMPTSP Kotim also stressed that OSS never requests payments outside official government regulations and does not ask for personal data through private messages or phone calls without proper verification procedures.
The public has been advised not to immediately trust suspicious information and to avoid sharing identity details or important data with unknown parties.
DPMPTSP Kotim encouraged residents to report suspected fraud attempts through the agency’s official information and complaint channels.
People are also urged to verify doubtful information through official DPMPTSP channels or the OSS platform to avoid becoming victims of increasingly sophisticated digital crimes.
