CCID (JSJK)
Updated 2026-09-29
The Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID, known in Malay as Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Komersial, JSJK) is the branch of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) that handles fraud, scams, and other financial crime. Once you lodge a police report about a scam, it is usually CCID that carries the investigation forward.
When it matters
CCID can trace mule accounts, work with banks to identify who received your money, and build a case for prosecution under the Penal Code. Their pace depends on caseload and how quickly funds moved, so keeping your own records helps. A CCID investigation runs alongside, not instead of, a civil claim, so read about taking civil action against a scammer if you are weighing that route too.
