A fraudster uses WhatsApp, impersonating a family member.
Users report scammers using WhatsApp to impersonate family members, often to extract money or personal info. This tactic preys on trust, starting with urgent messages about emergencies. Hang up or block immediately if something feels off—verify through direct contact with known numbers. Enable two-factor authentication on accounts, avoid sharing details, and report to authorities like the FTC. Watch for red flags like poor grammar or pressure tactics. Staying vigilant protects against these evolving social engineering schemes, keeping your data secure.
