There is a flood of scam on the Internet and mobile these days. Scammers are making people their prey in different ways. Recently information about a new scam has been revealed. In this, scammers are sending wedding cards to people through WhatsApp. As soon as someone clicks on these wedding cards, money is blown away from his account. Actually, in these wedding cards, scammers send APK files on the phone of people, which gather their necessary information.

Case revealed from Maharashtra

In Hingoli district of Maharashtra, a wedding card came in a message from an unknown number on WhatsApp of a government employee. It was written in its caption, ‘Welcome, definitely come to the wedding.’ As soon as the employee clicked on it, he flew 1.90 lakh rupees from his account shortly. Actually, it was an APK file rather than a wedding card. With the help of this, the scammers stole his necessary information and data, with the help of which he succeeded in making a dent in his bank account. The victim has given a complaint to the police regarding this matter.
