Stay safe from screen mirroring fraud

The screen sharing feature on WhatsApp is very useful, but cyber criminals are also misusing it. They are scamming people by luring them into their trap through this feature. In this, they make video calls impersonating bank or government officials and engage people in conversations and ask them to share their screens. When a person shares his screen, scammers see bank details, OTP and personal messages etc. With the help of these details, they can steal money from people by breaking into their bank accounts.

How to avoid such fraud?

To avoid this type of fraud, do not share the screen with any unknown person. No bank officer or government official will ask to share the screen by making video call. Also, do not download any app by clicking on any link coming from any suspicious or unknown person.
