_CYBER SECURITY (HACKERS)_
One thing we should all take note of and be vigilant about scammers (Hacker) is that,
1. They ask with very short time duration.
2. They always change the number you should send the money to
3. They always claim it's urgent and will pay back within the same day if you send the money. Which is a lie.
If you see this, *Be very suspicious* and don't commit yourself.
_SOLUTION_
We most at times forget to call our friends first to confirm, which should be No.1
1. Try to call that friend who is requesting for the money to confirm
2. If you are not able to reach him/her, call the number they asked you to send the money to. Most at times, it's either switched off or can't be reached. Never send the money.
3. If you're using Truecaller, the real identity of the person behind it will appear with either Scammer or some funny names.
4. Setup two-way verification for your WhatsApp to avoid being hacked.
5. Under no circumstances should you mention out your WhatsApp password or any unknown code you haven't requested, sent by the scammer, be revealed to the same scammer who sent it to you. It is a secret code to hack your account.
6. When it comes to Momo, they may send you several codes to mention out to them if not, you Momo will be blocked. Don't panic, just tell them it should be blocked and if you don't want disturbances, switch off the phone. They can't proceed to empty your wallet without the code.
7. Call your mobile network and report to them so they block it. In any case, if the scammers continue to try unsuccessful codes, the account will be blocked. You can go and reactivate it anytime.
I hope this will serve as a guide to protect us from being victims of Cybercrimes and making us or our loved ones loose money to junkies.
