 5 tips to prevent WhatsApp scam 

DNA WEB DESK

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world. However, it is here that people also fall prey to scams most. Here are 5 tips to prevent falling prey to WhatsApp scams:

Never respond to a WhatsApp message claiming to offer a part-time job or a work-from-home opportunity that pays more than your regular job.

Never pick up a call from an unknown number on WhatsApp.

If you receive a message from an unknown international number, the first thing to do is block and report that number, unless it’s from a friend or family member who is actually abroad.

Prevent unknown users from adding you to unfamiliar groups by changing your privacy settings.

If the text you receive has errors, it's most likely fake. Text messages from legitimate and genuine businesses won't have any spelling errors.
