If you've ever received a free insurance offer from a bank, be wary as it could be a scam. Typically, scammers offer free insurance but require specific conditions, such as requesting personal banking information, which is then misused, leading to financial loss.
There are several ways this fake free insurance offer scam can occur:
- Through phone calls, SMS, or chat apps: They will contact you claiming to be from the bank, offering free insurance with various attractive benefits, but requiring your personal banking information as a condition.
- Via email: You will receive an email that appears to be from the bank. This email will contain a link that directs you to a fake website where you will be asked to enter your personal information.
Tips to Prevent Free Insurance Scams
- Don't easily trust offers that sound too good to be true. These are usually tricks to lure victims and cause financial loss.
- Always verify the information you receive. If you're unsure, confirm it with the bank through official channels. Contact Halo BCA via phone at 1500888 or use the haloBCA app (free of charge, only requires an internet connection).
- Never share your personal data with anyone through any means. Personal data is confidential, and it's the key to accessing your account. If it falls into the wrong hands, it can lead to financial loss.
- Don't click on links, download files, or visit unofficial websites. If it looks suspicious or could potentially endanger your personal data or device security, don't get caught.
