“Excuse me, who are you?”: How they try to steal money on WhatsApp
Although Facebook is an application and social network with millions of fans, WhatsApp is used by more than a quarter of the world’s population, which makes it one of the largest and most ideal social channels for fraudulent use of social engineering and spread News.
The most commonly used one is the one that begins with the innocent “I’m sorry, who are you?” This allows us to relax our vigilance.
WhatsApp fraud, false information
The popular portal WABetaInfo, an expert in predicting all news that will reach WhatsApp, has become a victim of a scam using the introductory phrase we told you above. And taking advantage of this situation, they described one of the ways that scammers often use messaging applications to gain advantage and economic benefits.
They usually buy a VoIP number (Voice over Internet Protocol, the technology for making calls through an Internet connection). According to WhatsApp’s rules, this number is not allowed on WhatsApp and can have different targets: specific people or random people.
When they find a valid phone number, they will send a message asking questions such as “Excuse me, who are you? I found you on my agenda.”
They are always good to you because they want to win your trust.
They start to ask you some simple details, such as what is your name, what is your job, how old you are, and they will give you some compliments to make you feel good.
Sometimes scammers will ask you to add him to your social network, such as Instagram or Facebook
Scammers try to access your public information on Facebook and Instagram, such as your friends list and other interesting details that can help them steal your money.
Their next move is to blackmail you, saying that if you don’t send them money, they will share some confidential photos with your friends and family (real photos, if you share them naively, or photos edited with Adobe Photoshop ).
Under no circumstances should you send money to them. Because they will not stop blackmailing after they receive it, they will ask for more.
