The legal materials used are primary and secondary legal materials. After the data is collected then the data is analyzed systematically. The results of the research reveal that in the context of legal protection, the Financial Services Authority is given the authority by the State to take steps to prevent consumer and public losses. Efforts are made based on Article 28 of Law No. 21 of 2011 concerning the Financial Services Authority by conducting outreach and education to the public regarding the characteristics of fundraising activities and managing illegal investments and asking the Financial Services Institutions to stop their activities if these activities have the potential to harm the community.
