WhatsApp is part of our daily life now. We use it to chat, share photos, send payments — and more.
But as WhatsApp becomes more popular, scammers are becoming smarter too.
In 2025, there are many new scams that look so real, even smart people are getting tricked.
Let’s break down the Top 5 WhatsApp scams right now — and how you can stay safe.
1. ❌ “Your WhatsApp Will Be Blocked” Scam
You get a message saying:
“Your WhatsApp account will be suspended. Click here to verify.”
[Fake Link]
It sounds serious. But it’s 100% fake.
The link may ask for your OTP or personal details — and then hack your account.
✅ Stay Safe:
WhatsApp never sends such messages. If you’re unsure, go to WhatsApp > Settings > Help to check for yourself.
2. 💸 Fake UPI Payment or Refund Scam
You receive a message like:
“I sent ₹1,000 to you by mistake. Please return it.”
They might even send a fake payment screenshot.
But no money ever came — it’s a trap to trick you into sending money.
✅ Stay Safe:
Always check your UPI or bank app directly. Never trust random screenshots.
3. 👨👩👧👦 Fake Family Member Message
A new number texts you:
“Hi beta, it’s mummy. This is my new number. Please send some money.”
People panic and send money — without checking.
✅ Stay Safe:
Call your real family member first. Don’t trust new numbers blindly.
4. 📦 Fake Delivery or Parcel Scam
You get this:
“Your package is held. Pay ₹50 customs fee to release it.”
[Fake Tracking Link]
You click it, and it asks for card or UPI details. Total scam.
✅ Stay Safe:
Only track parcels through official apps or websites. Never trust delivery messages on WhatsApp.
5. 🕵️♂️ “Who Viewed Your DP” Scam
You see a link:
“Find out who checked your WhatsApp DP!”
[Click to See]
It sounds fun. But it’s 100% fake.
They ask for your number, show a fake loading animation, and finally say:
“Server Busy. Try Again Later.”
Some tools even ask you to share the link or install an app. That’s how they spread.
