If you notice any strange movements on your smartphone, it may be a scam. In fact, a few hours ago a specific voice message started spreading on WhatsApp. Be careful what you do, they can steal a lot of money and all of your personal data.
Many people, when browsing the Internet, tend to click on unknown links or open more dangerous pages. Unfortunately, those who try to deceive focus on the innocence of the weak, which is why we should always be on the lookout for what is happening on the Internet to avoid falling into these traps.
The first thing to do is to learn to identify the most dangerous signals for us and our bank accounts. For example, never trust messages coming from your accounts, especially if they ask you for back-up or access data, remember that your bank will never ask you for them. If you have any doubts, contact the customer service first and they will tell you if it is fraudulent or not.
One of the most dangerous voice messages has been circulating on WhatsApp for the past few hours, let’s find out in detail what it is.
WhatsApp Fraud: Beware of these voice messages, they may steal your money
The first thing to point out is that WhatsApp was not completely involved in the scam and unfortunately hackers were able to log into the server and take control. Often these misguided people copy the graphics and website of the company and deceive many people. This is exactly what the scammers are doing through WhatsApp.
In detail, they send emails, which contain WhatsApp voice message, which can have very serious consequences for the user if opened.
Usually this email is not sent in spam because it is recognized as secure, in fact it is the opposite. Inside you will see a button with a word game, clicking on it will take you to a page where you will be asked to approve the request.
The moment you click, you will sign up for a subscription and your mobile or computer will be filled with viruses, which will automatically install the malware. This will steal all your personal data and also take a lot of money from your bank accounts.
Remember to always pay attention when you click. What do you think about it?
