WhatsApp is the world's most popular messaging app and is used by billions of people. Although WhatsApp is not designed to defraud people, cyber thugs are definitely taking advantage of it. Through WhatsApp, cyber thugs are trapping people in new ways every day. Today we will tell you some ways to avoid WhatsApp scams...
Distance from an unknown number: 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.
