HOW ILLEGAL ONLINE COMPANIES ENSNARE YOUTHS LOOKING FOR JOBS

"All hands up!" some police officers in disguise shouted as they raided a room containing several
workers in a three-story building in Sleman District, Yogyakarta Special Region. The workers
were all young people wearing batik.

Hearing the police orders, they immediately raised their hands while facing their computer
screens. At first, they feigned innocence, officials said. The reason they became embroiled in a
police raid in the first place was that they were working for an illegal online loan service, which
often threatened borrowers for non-payment of dues.

One of the computer screens that were still on showed a threatening note that was just about
to be sent to the victims before the raid. The note warned the borrower that if the debt was not
repaid immediately, the borrower's photos and personal data would be made viral on social
media and he would be labeled "The King of Debt".

A video of the raid was documented by a joint team of West Java Police and Yogyakarta Police
on Prof. Herman Yohanes Street, Caturtunggal, Sleman District, Thursday night (October 14,
2021).

A total of 86 people, including operators, debt collectors, human resource personnel, and
managers, were arrested in the raid. They were handed to the West Java Police the next morning
along with evidence.
