CILACAP - Currently, there is a lot of news about fraudulent modes that cause savings at ATMs, especially BRI ATMs, to be depleted.

This new mode of fraud is carried out in various ways, such as offering to become a priority customer, Info on Changes in Bank Rates and many others.

Responding to this mode of fraud, the Cilacap Police through the Head of Public Relations of the Cilacap Police, Iptu Gatot Tri Hartanto, appealed to the public, especially the jurisdiction of the Cilacap Police, not to easily trust anyone who asks for personal data, ATM numbers, account numbers, and even OTP numbers.

"And don't open any links from people you don't know, because there are people who have reported to the Cilacap Police that they have become victims with this method." said Gatot via text message, Tuesday, August 23.

Gatot also said that Joko Sudarmanto, as the assistant manager of Bank BRI's Cilacap branch, admitted that this mode of crime was indeed rampant, and BRI itself had tried to give advice to the public, especially BRI bank customers.

"Therefore, the public (bank customers) should be more careful and do not trust easily. If you have become a victim of fraud, you should immediately report it to the police," said Gatot
