Electronic Ticket Letter Sent Through What? Beware of Fraud Modus!
In recent months, several regions in Indonesia have been shaken by incidents of fraud disguised as electronic ticketing letters. This particular incident has claimed many victims, especially motor vehicle users who are still unfamiliar with the electronic ticketing system (ETLE). On average, these victims were deceived because they received text messages from messaging applications impersonating the police. So, what is the actual method of sending ETLE ticket letters? To avoid falling victim to such scams, let’s pay attention to the review below.
What is the Method of Sending Electronic Ticket Letters?
In 2023, the electronic ticketing system or ETLE has been implemented throughout Indonesia. This ticketing system can be considered one of the best innovations by the Korlantas Polri in improving ticketing efficiency. With the existence of electronic ticketing, it is hoped that the rate of traffic violations will decrease drastically. This is because the electronic ticketing system can identify all forms of traffic violations in detail using CCTV cameras installed on the roads.
In addition, the level of monitoring traffic violations can also be conducted fully 24 hours a day. With the electronic ticketing system, the practice of illegal ticketing or extortion by certain traffic police officers can be immediately ended.
From the discussion above, it can be seen that the electronic ticketing system provides many benefits for both the police and road users. However, for some irresponsible individuals, the electronic ticketing system can be exploited as a field for fraud. So how can this happen?
The fraud can occur because the scammers use a format of data and money stealing applications disguised as ticket letters. These applications are then sent by the scammers to messaging services like WhatsApp (WA). This mode of fraud has already claimed many victims. Several people in the Bandung and Banten regions have fallen victim to this scam. So, how are ETLE ticket letters actually sent?
According to the official website of Kominfo (Ministry of Communication and Information), the payment code for electronic ticket fines will only be sent via SMS from the Traffic Corps system. And for ticket letters, they are sent via courier services from PT Pos Indonesia. This has also been announced by 34 police departments across Indonesia.
So it can be concluded that every driver who commits a traffic violation will receive a ticket letter from Pos. After you receive the ticket letter, you can check the validity and truth of whether you have been fined electronically or not by checking through the official ETLE website or the ETLE application on your smartphone. The following are the addresses of the ETLE sites and applications that you can use.

To avoid electronic ticketing, make sure you comply with every traffic sign and regulation.
