For this campaign, the company collaborates with singer Vidi Aldiano in the form of a short film, highlighting three types of fraud that they are often victims of. Through the lyrics of this song, Vidy conveys the various scams that still target the public.
The show also features a singer (vid Aldiano) who released her latest single, “Fake Fashion.” In a press conference, Fidi revealed that the song was inspired by various fraud techniques, which she summarized in the lyrics. From how to offer lottery prizes, to stealing OTP codes and forging wedding invitations in the form of APK files, everything is interestingly described in the video.
The singer confidently explained that these methods still managed to fool many people who were not yet familiar with the tricks of fake methods. In fact, scams like this could easily be prevented simply by the #JustSayNo movement. It is like ignoring an unknown number offering a prize of millions of rupees, or not trusting someone who claims to be a friend but we don’t know when they send us a fake wedding invitation.
In this regard, Vidi Aldiano as a talent also said that fraud methods will continue to seek new flaws through technology or user habits. Therefore, we must continue to protect our personal information and our bank accounts.
“Cooperation between customers and banks is necessary to minimize the risk of fraud in the future. It is important to understand that banking fraud methods are always there and evolving. “Until we know the signs of fraud, we are aware and we can all fight against the different types of fraud,” he said.
The video “Recognizing Fake Images #BilangAjaGak” can now be viewed on BRI Bank’s YouTube channel and other official BRI media (Instagram: bankbri_id; Facebook: BRI Bank X: bankbri_id, bri contact, promo_bri).
