Scams in the virtual world are becoming increasingly prevalent and varied. Currently, there are fake TikTok accounts circulating on TikTok that claim to be Bank BCA accounts.
Under the pretext of collaborating with the Ministry of Cooperatives, these accounts claim to be the official Bank BCA loan account.
Their modus operandi is to offer unsecured loans with 0% interest and a quick process, requiring only an ID card and a 100% guarantee of approval.
One example of a fake account link that we found is https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSPuG3drg/
One example of a fake BCA account on the TikTok platform.
The account profile bio states: OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF BANK CENTRAL ASIA LOANS PLEASE CONTACT WHATSAPP: 0822-9849-1736
Using AI technology, scammers create video content that deceives potential victims, making it appear as if the video is official from BCA.
Potential victims who are interested in the video will immediately open the WhatsApp number in the profile bio to apply for a loan.
Next, it's easy to guess that the scammers will ask for the potential victim's personal data to hack into their bank account or credit card.
