I need to know if the certificate is real.

I have reasons to suspect that this company is actually a scam. I
can't, unfortunatly, check the certificate they sent you (though I
have no doubt it is a fake; I have already encountered several
Indonesian scammers faking any kind of documents to appear legal). But
there are other points of interest:

- They seem not even to know their own address. The information they
gave you says they are located in the Duta Mas division of Batam, post
code 29422, which is also what they used for registering their Web
domain. At the business-to-business marketplace Alibaba, they claim
that the post code is 29426. Actually, none of those two post codes
belongs to their street address. If a company uses fake addresses, for
whatever purpose, it is always a bad sign and not exactly proof of
trustworthiness.
By the way, at AllProducts, another marketplace website, they even say
that they are located in Padang, a completely different town.

- There used to be a now-defunct local computer shop in Batam, with a
rather similar name: "Digdaya Komputindo". Their address was a bit
different (Bloc C-4/1 instead of B-4/1). The unimaginative scammers
only slightly changed the name and the address for their fraud.

- They registered their domain for only one year, from 29 May 2006 to
29 May 2007. While such short-lived domains would be most unusual for
reputable companies, they are typical for scammers. By the way, they
have not even managed to set up a working website. Such unbelievable
carelessness would be deadly for a real company.

- And, which is most revealing: There is no company of the name
"Digdaya Computindo PT" listed in the official Indonesian register of
companies.

I can only recommend not to trust this "company".
