Information and communication technology (ICT) has changed the way of live of modern people as digital society. People living far apart can communicate without needing to be present in the same space and any information can be obtained easily. However, ICT would be useless if users didn't have capacity to use it. The research aims to determine the uses of ICT and the fraud through ICT on orange farmers in Wringinpitu Village, Banyuwangi. This research was conducted from September 2017 to April 2018. This research used qualitative method with case study approach. Data obtained through observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews. The informants were selected based on purposive sampling technique. The data validated by triangulation and analyzed by interactive model. The results show that orange farmers already have devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers that can access the internet. Many farmers are able to purchase ICT, but they don't have capacity of how to exploit the ICT and they're not aware of fraud through ICT. Many farmers do not use ICT to access information about agribusiness and markets. They usually get information from the successful one and they just follow that information. The negative impact of ICT usually happened to orange farmers who are also traders. Many of them are victims of ICT fraud, at least once.
