WhatsApp safety
How to detect WhatsApp scams
Learn the red flags in viral WhatsApp forwards, fake KYC alerts and urgent money messages.
Watch urgency language
Scam messages often say your account will close, reward will expire or action is needed in minutes. Slow down and verify outside WhatsApp.
Never share OTP or PIN
Banks, delivery companies and government services do not ask for OTP, CVV, UPI PIN or passwords in chat.
Verify links
Look at the real domain, not the logo or message design. Use bookmarks or official apps for account actions.
