The fraudulent transaction cancellation method from fake Halo BCA continues to appear in various forms.
This time, the fraudster sends a chat via WhatsApp or calls potential victims using a fake number that appears to be from BCA!
Chronology of the Scam
Fraudster sends a transaction confirmation, along with a fake 'cancel transaction' link via WhatsApp or a fake phone call Hello BCA.
Because they feel they did not make the transaction, the victim will surely panic and immediately click on the fake link to cancel the transaction.
