“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.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
