Scams are happening every day in India. Many times these scams happen due to people's mistakes and sometimes people do not understand what happened. Although WhatsApp has not been designed so that you can defraud people with its help, cyber-thugs are definitely misusing it. Today we will tell you some ways to avoid WhatsApp scams...
It is better to stay away from unknown numbers: If you receive a WhatsApp message from an unknown number, do not make the mistake of replying to it immediately. First, check the number and feel that someone you know really wants to talk to you, only then start chatting.
Phishing Attack: Cyber thugs usually send messages to people in the name of banks, delivery services, and government agencies and try to scare them. Also, share these web links with people. Be careful of such messages, as this is a method of phishing attack.
Think before you click: Do not click on the link given with any message received on WhatsApp. If someone you trust has shared the link, you can view it but do not click on the message coming from an unknown number. With the help of these links, malware or viruses are downloaded into the phone.
Be careful while sharing personal information: Do not share your personal information like bank account number, internet banking password, credit card details, etc. with anyone at any cost.
Earn more in less time: Remember one thing good things are ready late. There is no shortcut to earning more in less time, rather it is a cheat. Cyber fraudsters message people on WhatsApp and claim that their money will double in a very short time after investment. Apart from this, stay away from lotteries, offers, etc.
