3. WhatsApp is once again making headlines for the wrong reasons: a new fraud has been found. In the past, a lot of fraudsters used the
instant messaging and voice-over-IP service owned by a US tech giant to fool individuals and steal their money because it is simpler to
reach people on this app. WhatsApp, which has around two billion monthly active users, has become a target for scammers once again.
Many people have taken to Twitter to complain about receiving unexpected calls from overseas numbers beginning with +84, +62, +60,
and more.
According to the ISD codes, WhatsApp users are receiving spam calls at random from countries such as Malaysia, Kenya, and Vietnam,
as well as Ethiopia. As of now, it is unclear why people are receiving these fraud phone calls. However, we do know that the frequency
of scam calls is moderate to high. On alternate days, some people have received 2 to 4 spam calls. Some customers, particularly those
purchasing a new SIM card, are receiving increased scam calls from international numbers.
What to do? How to be safe?
The Meta-owned company has advised people to simply report and block such spam calls. According to WhatsApp administrators,
blocking and reporting scam messages/calls is a vital step in combating frauds and when users get calls from unfamiliar international or
domestic phone numbers.
Furthermore, the company continually invests in Artificial Intelligence and other cutting-edge technology to protect its subscribers from
such spam and scam calls on its platform. The monthly user safety report provided by WhatsApp in compliance with the IT Rules 2021
comprises details of user complaints received and the related action taken by WhatsApp to combat abuse on its network. In the month
of March alone, WhatsApp banned almost 4.7 million scam accounts.
You don't need to be worried. All that is required is that the spam caller be reported and blocked. Make sure not to click on any of the
messages or links you may receive from the fraud caller, as they may contain spam malware designed to steal your data or money. These
scam callers have the ability to entice you into doing anything that will result in the theft of your hard-earned money. As a result, people
are actively encouraged to ignore and simply block spam calls.

Step 1: You first need to open WhatsApp, tap on More options > Settings.
Step 2: Now, tap again on Privacy > Blocked contacts.
