Fraudsters steal sensitive bank details using WhatsApp – police warn. Only 36 percent of respondents use Facebook Messenger and 27 percent use Instagram Direct Messages.
In order to better protect privacy, the messenger WhatsApp recently announced that it would restrict screenshots. In addition to cash, criminals would also swindle credit card and bank information. Such incidents are not an isolated case: a resident of the Baltic Sea recently fell for a perfidious fraud scam through an alleged investment advisor. The police warn users. “You should always initially suspect that strangers are strangers,” advises the police.
