Based on a report by the Financial Services Authority (OJK), total losses suffered by the Indonesian public due to illegal investments reached Rp120.79 trillion (approximately US$8.05 billion) in 2022. This represents the highest loss in the last decade.

The amount of investment losses in 2022 surged by 4,655.51% year-on-year (YoY) compared to the previous year's Rp2.54 trillion (approximately US$169 million).

In total, losses from illegal investments reached Rp152.87 trillion (approximately US$10.19 billion) from 2012 to 2022. The value of these losses fluctuated over the past decade.

The highest losses were recorded in 2022, while the lowest were recorded in 2014 at Rp235 billion (approximately US$15.67 million).

According to the OJK, a key characteristic of investment scams is the lack of valid licensing documents from relevant regulators such as the OJK, Bank Indonesia, Bappebti-Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, and others.

Furthermore, other characteristics of illegal investments include:

* Promising unreasonably high returns in a short period.
* Offering bonuses for recruiting new members.
* Utilizing public figures, religious leaders, or community leaders to attract investment.
* Claiming to be risk-free.
* Unclear legality, such as lacking a business license, possessing an institutional license but lacking a business license, or engaging in activities that do not align with the possessed business license.
