Financial scams have increased in recent times, with even high-profile individuals falling victim to online fraud. WhatsApp has become a popular platform for such scams, where fraudsters often impersonate others to ask for financial help, either posing as acquaintances or even as relatives in need of money.
"Got WhatsApp msg from an acquaintance asking for 25K. Knew his no was hacked. So replied, how do you want me to pay, Gpay ok? Promptly a no was sent asking me to send a screenshot after payment. I replied, can I please pay you 2.5 lacs? No more messages after that," Manjrekar said on social media X (formerly known as Twitter).
