WhatsApp Video Call Scammers Pose As Police And Bank Officials

In a new scam tactic, scammers use WhatsApp video calls to deceive individuals and steal their personal information. In a recent incident, a fake police call was made to an Indian expat in Kuwait, who was then transferred to a fake bank official. This alarming trend has been reported widely, with users being warned to be cautious of random video call scams, which can lead to the theft of personal information and money. To protect against such scams, it is advised to exercise caution when receiving video calls from unfamiliar numbers and to verify the caller’s identity through a regular voice call. Vigilance and awareness are necessary to guard against evolving fraudulent schemes as a result of this emerging threat.
