Beware of the new scam that's making rounds in the market - 'Make instant money by liking YouTube videos.'
It has been noticed that Cyber Criminals are targeting potential victims via WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. and offering them quick money for completing tasks such as liking YouTube videos, subscribing to channels, etc.
In this modus operandi, the scamsters first send a message via WhatsApp/SMS offering a part time job opportunity with promises of daily/higher earnings by simply liking/subscribing to videos/channels.
The scamsters may make small payments/returns initially to lure victims and then ask them to invest more amounts for increased earnings/returns. Once the victim transfers large amount to scamsters, they stop responding.
We request you to pay attention to below points for safeguarding yourself from such scams:
. Exercise caution and do not respond to such texts or calls from unknown numbers, which offer higher/daily earnings or returns which are too good to be true.
. Don't share your personal details, confidential banking information, transfer money or allow unknown people to gain access to your device.
. Be cautious and delete any e-mail/message received from unknown sources asking you to click on any suspicious link or download any apps.
Stay secure and spread the message among your loved ones. Don't ignore the warning bell.
