Whatsapp Scammers - Be warned by tosomaju(m): 12:44am On Nov 26, 2020 |
Please don't let them get to you too. I fell victim. But they could not deactivate my whatsapp because of the 2 steps verification code. The way they operate . You get added to a whatsapp group 1. They promise juicy return on investment 2. More than 100 fake testimonies everyday with fake bank alert. 3. You become motivated and ask how to invest. You are asked to contact Mr James who will send you account detail as in the screen shot below 4. Immediately you send the money and payment confirmation , someone else will call you who claim to be in charge of the binary engine and payment. 5. He will try to convince you to triple your investment that the system generated some stuff and got upgraded and you have to hurry up to increase your stake and it is a one time opportunity. 6. If they get more from you or confirm they can't get more from you, they will call you and tell you that they have registered you with your whatsapp number and they need the code sent to you to process your investment. 7. If you make the mistake of giving them the code, you will automatically lose your WhatsApp account and it will show as if you left the group on your own. You will also lose every chat or transaction with them. 8. If you have 2 steps WhatsApp verification, they will request for 6digit password that you won't forget hoping you will give them your verification pin. If you give them a different pin, they will try to convince you to give them your 2 steps verification pin.knowing fully well that you need to lose your WhatsApp account in order not to be a threat. They don't like removing people from the group as it raises suspicion. But if you do not give them your WhatsApp verification code, they will ask you to remove the verification pin setting and if you don't , they will remove you .

Lol, most times the account you are given to pay into is that of a victim whose account details has been collected too. |
