Scam/Fraud
02 Jul 2025

Voice recording that simply says something about "jobseeker", followed by "add me to Whatsap" before the call hangs up. This is a serious scam that can result in many years of misery for victims. These scammers will do one or more of many things to victims. They will try to lock you out of your Whatsap account and take control of it to scam others, they will use your profile to send scam messages that claim to be from somebody close to you and claim he/she has lost his/her phone and desperately needs a substantial amount of money transferred, controlling your Whatsap can allow them to scam others that are on your contact list etc. etc. Some victims even become criminals as they get used to launder money and risk a prison sentence even though they are victims. Worse still, some of these scammers will get you to download a virus to your phone and then hack your bank account details, steal personal data, including photos, addresses etc. and use it to get loans and mortgages in your name. ID theft can take many years of stress, is costly and it will take numerous court cases to clear your name of all the fraudulent debt that they take out. Do Not Ever add unknown callers to any calling Apps or social media accounts just because a number calls and an automated voice asks you too, it's too dangerous and can destroy your life.
