[WhatsApp users urged to be wary over 'friend in need' scam

"If you receive a suspicious
message... calling or requesting
a voice note is the fastest and simplest way
to check someone is who they say they are.
A friend in need is a friend worth calling,"
said WhatsApp.]



[A new awareness campaign launched
by WhatsApp and
National Trading Standards says that 59%
of people have either received a scam
text in the last year or know someone who has.
The Stop. Think. Call. campaign aims to
inform potential victims about the scams
and educate them on how to protect
themselves and their WhatsApp accounts.]
