The Dhaka Times Desk It's hard to find people who don't use the messaging platform WhatsApp. Millions of messages are sent every day. So fake messages are normal. So avoid these fake messages.

Just as customers benefit from sending messages on WhatsApp, every good thing has a bad side. So fraudsters are now using WhatsApp to cheat common people. There are some fake messages being spread through this platform, which may put you in danger if you believe them. Learn more about them today.

WhatsApp users are now getting messages from fake companies promising jobs. The message lures you with a good salary and asks you to click on a link and provide information about yourself or call a number. After that, the user's bank information was stolen by trickery and he was killed.

Lucky draw or prize winning message

Lucky draw or prize winning messages are one of the old tricks of fraudsters. Where users are lured and then trapped. Such WhatsApp messages are called KBC Jio Lucky Draw or other such names and inform users that they have won cash prizes as well. Users are asked to click on the link provided with the message to get this reward value and after clicking on it, a form appears, where they are asked to fill various information about the person. Then some money is also demanded for processing. Once you trust them, more money is demanded. This is how the deception continues.

Message asking for OTP

Some WhatsApp users also get messages asking for OTP to their number. The message reads, 'Sorry I sent an important message with OTP to your number by mistake'. Can you tell me this otp? It is clear that fraudsters never send an OTP by mistake, but with the help of OTP they try to login into the user's account.

Demand to see you in videos or pictures

Many times on WhatsApp and other social media platforms, fraudsters send links along with messages and scare people into clicking on the link. The message reads, 'Do you see yourself in this video?' or 'Is this your picture?' Obviously, out of curiosity: the user clicks on the link provided with this message and is then sent to a malicious website. Then attempts are also made to hack the user's device.
