How scams are done
Your account is hacked by OTP Game. For example, you can receive this message from a friend's number that you are in a catastrophic situation and your Airtel or friend needs help.
The hacker will then ask for the OTP number on your number. As soon as you give it a number your account will be logged out of your mobile and the hacker will be able to use that account.
Never give information like OTP to anyone and if someone asks for that number, don't give it to them, otherwise you are in big trouble.
What after being hacked
If you provide OTP and your account has been hacked, hackers can misuse your sensitive data and hack your other friends' WhatsApp through your account. If you ever find yourself in a situation like this, call your friend first and confirm whether it is the same or not. If you share an OTP number, you will be in big trouble.
Be safe this way
Turn on two-factor authentication to avoid such scams.You can turn this feature into a very easy step on your mobile Mana WhatsApp.
Turn on WhatsApp and click on the three dots you see in the right corner
Select the account by clicking on the setting option
Turn on by clicking on the option named Two-step verification
When you select the second step verification, you will see the Enable option
You will be prompted for a 6 digit PIN when you select Enable
You have to add the number in your phone or email.
Once you've verified your email address, your two-step verification becomes an active character.
