New WhatsApp Scams You Should Be Aware in 2022
 As we move into 2023, it is important to be aware of the latest scams that may be targeting WhatsApp users. Here are a few examples of scams that you should be aware of:

  1. Phishing scams: Scammers may try to trick you into clicking on a link or providing personal information by posing as a legitimate organization or individual. They may send a message that appears to be from a bank, government agency, or other trusted source, asking you to click on a link to update your account information or to verify your identity.

  2. Fake WhatsApp updates: Scammers may send you a message claiming that there is a new version of WhatsApp available, and that you need to click on a link to download the update. However, the link actually leads to a malicious website that can install malware on your device or steal your personal information.

  3. WhatsApp call scams: Scammers may call you on WhatsApp and claim to be from a technical support team. They may try to convince you that there is a problem with your device and that you need to provide them with access to your device or personal information to fix it.

  4. WhatsApp Forwarded messages Scams: Scammers may send you a message with a supposed link to a winning prize, or contain a video or a photo that is supposed to be scandalous. They might ask you to forward the message to other WhatsApp users, or to click on a link to claim your prize.

It is important to be vigilant when using WhatsApp and to be wary of messages or calls that seem suspicious. Don't click on links or provide personal information unless you are certain that the person or organization is legitimate. Be especially careful when you receive unsolicited messages or calls, even if they appear to be from someone you know.

Remember, WhatsApp official team will never ask for personal information like credit card number, password, and ID. To protect yourself from these types of scams, it is important to keep your software and operating system up to date and to use a reputable anti-virus program to protect your device. Also, be careful when downloading apps, and only download apps from trusted sources such as the official app stores.
