WhatsApp Scam: How does this scam work?

Scammers send photos to your number from an unknown number.

These pictures look normal, but malware code is hidden in them.

As soon as you click on the photo sent from an unknown number, malware gets installed on your phone, which can give hackers access to your device.

After the malware attacks your phone, this malware steals your banking apps and passwords, and can even clone your identity.

Some advanced scams can also bypass two-factor authentication and silently transfer all the money from your bank account. This means that the account can be emptied with one click, which can increase your problems.

Keep yourself safe like this.

Do not make the mistake of clicking on the photo sent from an unknown number.

Go to WhatsApp settings and turn off the auto download feature.

If you suspect a message received from an unknown number, you can block the sender and report it.
