Collaborating with Fadil Jaidi, Tri Invites Young People to Be Free from Spam and Scam Calls with Advanced AI Technology

Kapanlagi.com - The digital world is indeed rapidly evolving, but this also creates opportunities for irresponsible individuals who threaten personal data and privacy. For example, spam and scam calls have become a disturbing 'terror'.
It may seem trivial at first, but if you let your guard down even a little, these spam calls can compromise your personal data and potentially lead to financial and mental losses as well.

This 'terror' of spam and scam calls can target anyone, even famous celebrities. Recently, Fadil Jaidi shared his story about his mother becoming a victim of fraud by irresponsible individuals, resulting in losses reaching three digits. What Fadil shared may resonate with you if you've experienced something similar. This phenomenon has prompted Tri to present an AI technology innovation: Anti Spam and Scam to protect the Indonesian community.

Tri introduced this evolution through a press conference held at Lavva, Plaza Senayan, Jakarta on Thursday (14/08/2025). Let's take a closer look at the innovation that can free you from the traps of spam and scam calls, KLovers!

1. Indonesia Becomes the Country with the Most Spam Calls in Asia Pacific

Vivek Mehendiratta, Chief Marketing Officer of Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, explained, "Indonesia has become the country with the highest number of spam call recipients in Asia Pacific. This could be considered a global pandemic. Additionally, 65% of the Indonesian population experiences scam attempts every week, with half of those occurring via mobile. And 39% of young people, despite being known as digital savvy individuals, have also fallen victim to online scams. This is quite a critical statistic,"

This is very relatable to the experience recently faced by Fadil and his family, prompting him to remind young people to always be aware of the risks of spam and scams.

"Because right now, the cases of scams are still happening a lot up to this moment. If we, as young people, could be more aware and question, is this a scam? That's why with the current scam methods, we have to be extra careful because there are so many different schemes, and we should not let something like what happened to my mom occur again," Fadil shared.

2. Innovation of Tri AI Feature: Anti Spam/Scam to Make You #BeMoreAwesome

Furthermore, Vivek introduced the solution presented by Tri through AI technology: Anti Spam and Scam that can be easily activated, just by being a Tri user!

The Tri AI Feature: Anti Spam/Scam presents advanced technology based on artificial intelligence specifically designed to protect users from spam and scam attacks. This innovation is supported by Aivolusi 5G technology that combines the sophistication of AI with the power of Indosat's 5G network as a concrete step to realize the vision of being a leading AI-TechCo in Indonesia.

Just so you know, the Tri AI Feature: Anti Spam/Scam works as the frontline of digital protection with technology that can detect and provide warnings in different color categories. If an incoming call is safe, it will be marked with a turquoise color and a notification saying "Tri: Safe Number". Now, if you receive a call indicated as a scam, it will be marked red along with a notification that appears saying "Tri: Risky Number". If you get an SMS that is indicated as suspicious, users will receive an automatic warning so they can take preventive action immediately!

"Tri always prioritizes the comfort and security of customers' digital experiences. As a brand that is adaptive and close to the youth world, Tri presents Tri AI: Anti Spam/Scam based on Aivolusi 5G technology to empower Indonesia's younger generation. This technology provides a secure network, allowing young people to explore, create, and navigate the online world with confidence.

Now, to ensure that the Tri AI: Anti Spam/Scam feature is active on your phone, SVP Head of National Customer Success Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, Philip Joseph, further explains some steps that users need to take.

"First, make sure your package is active, then second ensure that VoLTE is activated in the mobile network menu on the device being used. This is important for detecting incoming spam and scam calls.

As part of the victims of the scam, Fadil admitted that this latest feature from Tri is very good and helps the community to free themselves from spam and scams.

"When I was invited to a meeting with Tri and introduced to this feature, I thought it was very good and indeed important because the level of fraud in Indonesia from spam calls and chats is also quite high. For sure, I will also share my experience using this feature with my followers so that they become more aware of the risks of spam and scams. Because even though young people are tech-savvy, if they are tempted with money, they will definitely be lured as well. So with this feature, we can be more protected," said Fadil.

On the same occasion, VP Head of Digital Experience & Service Excellence Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison Yunus Arsyi also explained that in Tri AI: Anti Spam/Scam, there is also a Weekly Summary feature that records the number of spam and scam calls received each week periodically.
