The 5-Point Safety Checklist
Check the NIB
Ask for their NIB number and verify it on the OSS.go.id portal.
Corporate Bank Account
Legitimate PT companies use corporate accounts, not names like "Wayan S."
Physical Photos
Ask for a video of the actual unit with today's date on a piece of paper.
Real Address
Check if the address exists on Google Maps with real street-view photos.
Responsive Support
Scammers often use bots; real companies have human agents on WhatsApp.
