Recently, there has been a surge in fake Halo BCA numbers appearing on government and educational institution websites. These sites are typically used to publish informational articles, which makes them appear credible. However, there are indications that they may have been accessed without authorization and misused to display fake Halo BCA and Halo BCA Bisnis numbers.
At first glance, the Halo BCA numbers listed above may appear legitimate because they are published on credible institutional websites. In reality, all of these numbers are fake! Please note that BCA never lists official contact numbers, including Halo BCA and Halo BCA Bisnis, on platforms outside of its official channels.
This is a scam designed to trick potential victims into contacting fake Halo BCA numbers. Once contacted, the conversation is usually redirected to WhatsApp outside of BCA’s official channels. The numbers listed on those institutional websites are not official BCA contacts.
To avoid this scam, follow these tips:
Tips to Avoid Fake “Halo BCA” Scams
To help keep your transactions and personal data secure, follow these tips:
1. Access Information Only from the Official BCA Website
Only refer to official contact information on the BCA website at www.bca.co.id. If you come across other websites listing the Halo BCA number, exercise caution and verify the information, as it may have been misused or falsified by unauthorized parties.
2. Be Careful When Searching for Contact Information
Avoid trusting contact numbers found through search engines or third-party websites, especially those using personal WhatsApp numbers that are not listed on BCA’s official channels.
Here are the official Halo BCA contact details:
- Halo BCA Number: 1500888 (without 021, +62, or other prefixes)
- Halo BCA Bisnis: 1500998 (for business purposes)
- WhatsApp Halo BCA: 08111500998 (verified with a blue checkmark next to the number or contact name, not on the profile picture)
- App: haloBCA (download only from the official App Store or Google Play)
If you encounter a different number or one that lacks these authenticity indicators, it is most likely a scammer impersonating BCA.

a. Report the Website Directly
