Lucky Oye!” Based on, the video creatively highlights ways to stay safe on WhatsApp.
Here's what the video tells you about how to protect yourself from WhatsApp fraud, along with some practical tips to follow every day to keep your savings safe.
Are you getting calls from unknown numbers?
If you get a call or message from an unknown number, avoid picking up or opening it immediately. First, verify the number on Truecaller. If you answer it by mistake, avoid sharing any personal information. Be wary of suspicious links or attachments in these messages, as they may contain phishing links that can put your data at risk.
Do not share your OTP:
Never share your OTP (one-time password) with anyone, even if the caller claims to be from the bank. Scammers often pose as bank representatives to extract sensitive information.
Install apps from authentic sources:
Always download WhatsApp from official sources like Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Downloading from third-party sources can expose your device to malware that can steal your data.
Enable two-step verification:
For added security, activate two-step verification in your WhatsApp settings. Go to Settings > Account > Two-Step Verification, turn it on, set a PIN, and confirm. This extra layer of security keeps your WhatsApp account safe.
