WhatsApp has again become a target for scammers. Many people have complained on Twitter about receiving unknown calls from international numbers starting at +84, +62, +60, and more. Here is how to be safe and what the company has said.

WhatsApp is again in the news for not a surprising reason – a new scam has been discovered. In the past, the messaging platform has been used by a lot of scammers to trick people and steal their money because it is easier to reach people on this app. WhatsApp, which has about two billion monthly active users, has again become a target for scammers. Many people have complained on Twitter about receiving unknown calls from international numbers starting at +84, +62, +60, and more.

It has been reported that WhatsApp users are randomly receiving calls from countries like Malaysia, Kenya, and Vietnam, Ethiopia, which is something that the ISD codes suggest. As of now, there is no clarity on why these calls are being to people. But, we do know that the frequency of calls is pretty medium to high. Some have received 2 to 4 calls on alternate days. Some people who are especially buying a new SIM are getting more calls from international numbers.

WhatsApp’s latest call scam: What to do? How to be safe?

Well, you don’t need to panic. One just needs to report and block the caller. Do make sure that you don’t click on any of the messages or links that you may get from the unknown caller as they might contain some sort of malware to steal your data or money. You could also be tricked into doing something to steal your hard-earned money. Hence, users are strictly advised to not indulge with the unknown caller and just block it.

Note: A job offer scam is also going on WhatsApp and users are advised to be careful about the same and not trust any unknown person. One should double-check the identity of the person who is offering a job to you on a platform like WhatsApp.

WhatsApp responds to latest scam issue on app

The Meta-owned company has advised people to simply report and block such calls. "Blocking and reporting suspicious messages/ calls is an important step to effectively combat scams and when users receive calls from unknown international or domestic phone numbers," WhatsApp told India Today Tech.

"We have consistently invested in Artificial Intelligence and other state-of-the-art technology, to keep our users safe on our platform. Our monthly user safety report that we publish in accordance with the IT Rules 2021, contains details of the user complaints received and the corresponding action taken by WhatsApp to combat abuse on our platform. WhatsApp banned over 4.7 million accounts in the month of March alone," the company added.
