In recent years, Bali’s been no stranger to ATM fraud. In fact, it’s even been identified as one of the worst places in the world for ATM skimming.
While the OJK (Financial Services Authority) issued a warning to the public against card skimming in Bali earlier this year, now the YLKI (Indonesian Consumers Foundation) is speaking up on the issue as well.
The Bali YLKI chairman, Putu Armaya says the foundation is handling several cases related to money stolen from bank customers via ATM fraud.
During a speech in Denpasar on Sunday, Armaya even cited one case where a bank customer reported up to Rp 76 stolen from their account.

If money is taken from your account without your permission, you should immediately report the stolen money to law enforcement and YLKI, Armaya said.
“Even the slightest loss of money should be reported, that’s the consumer’s right,” Tribun Bali quoted Armaya as saying.
