Hi Gojekers,
Your security is our top priority at Gojek. Therefore, we want to make sure you get comprehensive protection in the transaction process within Gojek application. With the rise of fraud cases targeting victims of smartphone users, keep in mind that neither Gojek nor partners or official Gojek drivers ever ask for an OTP (One Time Password) code for users for any reason! Check what you must know to detect frauds and ensure your Gojek account security below.
This fraud’s modus operandi is not only targeting users as victims but also Gojek driver-partners. Not having much of a difference from the infamous "Mama Minta Pulsa" modus operandi that was rife a few years ago, usually, fraudsters will seduce their victims to provide OTP codes sent by SMS for various reasons.
This OTP code that will be sent via SMS is very important because it will be a verification step during an attempted change of profile such as a PIN, telephone number, email, name and so on inside Gojek application.
Please remember that Gojek never asks for an OTP code for any reason! So, if someone asks for this code, you must be careful and maintain the confidentiality of your OTP code.
Like the previous case, this modus operandi also targets users and drivers as victims. Fraudsters will ask victims to call suspicious code prefixes like ** 21*, ** 62 *, ** 67 *, ** 61 * and so on.
This code is called Call Forwarding feature that can divert incoming calls to your number, to another number without your knowledge; not to tap or hack your mobile phone. To ensure your security, firstly check this number’s activation status by making a call to number * # 21 #. Then, immediately turn off this feature by making a call to number ## 21 #.
Please note that Gojek never asks its users to make transactions via bank transfers or GoPay accounts for any reason. All processes for ordering and paying for Gojek services are ONLY carried out through deducting your GoPay and PayLater balances or cash.
