Be careful! There are many frauds via calls/WhatsApp claiming to be from BCA, and fake BCA advertisements on social media, especially Instagram, offering a program to upgrade to be BCA Prioritas customers! There are also frauds offering BCA credit card applications or switching your card to a chip-based card. These frauds often target your BCA mobile or credit card to rob your money.
What usually happens:
- A phone call or WhatsApp message from a phone number similar to BCA’s official number.
- Ads on social media, especially Instagram, that looks to be posted by BCA’s official accounts .
To be more attractive, they usually mention simple terms and conditions, such as a certain amount of funds in your saving/check/investment accounts and they will offer you free monthly/annual free. In fact, there are already official terms and conditions to be a BCA Prioritas customer.
What to do if you experience this type of fraud
From cases we found, here are some tips that you should know:
- BCA’s official Instagram account is only @GoodlifeBCA. Check all of BCA official social media accounts here.
- The number of Halo BCA is 1500888, without 021, +62, or other number at the beginning. Official BCA WhatsApp is 08111500998 with blue checklist. Otherwise, you should be cautious because it is a fraud.
- BCA’s official website is bca.co.id and the Prioritas website is prioritas.bca.co.id and BYC Apps. Otherwise, it is fake.
- Membership for BCA Prioritas can only be used through certain terms and conditions and invitation from BCA. So, if there is someone offering you upgrade service to be a BCA Prioritas customer, it is a fraud.
