One example of a case is the buying and selling of concert tickets, which is rife. The incident began when there was information regarding a concert by a famous singer who would be coming. Because the singer is quite famous, tickets are sold online and fought over by many people and there are still many people who have not gotten them. Then some people appeared on the social media Platform X saying that they were selling concert tickets. Many people were interested in buying the tickets because the price was still not much different from the official selling price. However, some time later many people posted about the fraud committed by the seller and there was more than 1 victim with total losses reaching tens of millions of rupiah. After investigation, it turned out that the seller's account was also an account purchased from other people and the ID card used was also someone else's ID card, so the victims could only surrender to this matter.
The case above is just one of many cases that occur every year and always exist every time an event occurs, especially music concerts, both local and international singer music concerts, but there is no legal umbrella that can truly protect consumers regarding this because the parties also do not know each other and it is done virtually. Therefore, what consumers can do at this time is prevention to minimize this, such as asking to meet in person or through a trusted and protected platform. It is also hoped that before we make an online transaction, we check whether the goods really exist and are really as desired and to really confirm the seller's identity properly if the transaction is carried out outside the buying and selling platform.
In conclusion, online buying and selling transactions are very helpful to the community, especially since transactions can now be carried out anywhere and anytime, but due to the rise of problems such as fraud in online buying and selling, the public should be more aware of the dangers of fraud in online buying and selling transactions. It is hoped that the public will only use platforms that are protected by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) because there will definitely be higher prevention of problems that may occur when transacting. Education related to this should also be a concern of the government so that this problem does not continue to increase every year and so that regulations are immediately made that regulate online transactions more strictly so that consumers are more protected in the future. If public education regarding the dangers of fraud in online buying and selling and knowledge of platforms that are protected for the community increases and is also accompanied by regulations that better protect consumers that have been made by the government, then the rate of fraud in online buying and selling transactions will decrease and it is hoped that the community's economy will also increase because more and more people feel protected in online buying and selling transactions and use them.
