If you too are getting a video from an unknown number or a call from the numbers +84, +62, or +60, then you do not need to take it lightly. Such calls can badly trap you and extort money. An alert has also been issued by the government in this regard. Let us know in detail...
Over the past few months, there has been a huge increase in calls coming from WhatsApp numbers starting with +84, +62, +60. Such calls are coming from Malaysia, Kenya, Vietnam and Ethiopia. Calls coming from these ISD numbers are usually video calls. Apart from these, unknown calls coming from numbers with Indian codes are also dangerous.
Video calls are being made from these numbers and by the time you receive the call and understand something, these cyber thugs have already done their work. They only need a video of a few seconds in which your face is visible. After this, your face is edited with obscene videos and then the game of blackmailing you starts. There is a threat to make the video viral on social media.
Regarding this type of scam, WhatsApp has said that if you get a call from any unknown number then do not receive it.
After rejecting the call, immediately report and block such a number. Apart from this, these days such calls are also coming regarding jobs. Block such numbers also. Recently WhatsApp has blocked 4.7 million accounts for similar spam.
