WhatsApp scams are increasingly 'impossible' to detect: learn to recognize the signs and protect yourself

Scams through WhatsApp are becoming increasingly difficult to detect, with the National Cybersecurity Center warning about schemes such as "Hello, dad... Hello, mom", where criminals pretend to be family members with new numbers to request urgent money. Authorities recommend confirming identity through other channels before acting, never sharing authentication codes or banking data, and avoiding clicking on suspicious links. Besides fake family members, there are also scams involving fake jobs, investments, and online sales. European authorities warn that the use of artificial intelligence is making some frauds even more sophisticated. If you are a victim, you should immediately contact your bank and file a complaint with the authorities.
