The links are also spread across various platforms, from social media, WhatsApp, and email. In response to this incident, BCA always urges customers to continue to be careful regarding the spread of fraudulent links on behalf of BCA. The malicious links are used by fraudsters to retrieve your banking data to access your BCA account.
To avoid this, there are three things you need to know so you won’t fall into this scam.
BCA Official Application
When you receive a fraudulent link, whether it’s from WhatsApp or an email on behalf of BCA, and are directed to install the BCA app, you should not do it rashly. It’s because when you click the malicious link and install the app, your device will no longer work and your banking data can be stolen.
Please note that BCA official apps can only be installed/downloaded from official sources such as:
- Google Play Store;
- Apple Store; or
- Huawei App Gallery*
* haloBCA app is not yet available on the Huawei App Gallery.
Before installing, make sure the publisher is PT Bank Central Asia Tbk., not others.
Keep in mind, never install or download applications on behalf of BCA from unclear sources including fraudulent links such as those.
