WhatsApp is incredibly popular which makes it an opportune place for cyberciminals.
WhatsApp is one of the most popular communication platforms in the world, but a large number of active users make it a rich hunting ground for cybercriminals.

They prey on people who are distracted, tired and stressed.” The best way to see if a business account is legitimate is to see if it has a grey question mark, as this means that it has not been verified y the platform.Scammers may also use social engineering to get personal information from a user. The scammer will pretend to be a wrong number and try to get personal information off the user to hack their accounts or business.
