Can you believe that a woman in the UK was recently scammed out of almost 16,000 pounds sterling on WhatsApp? Yes, WhatsApp! The victim, Paula Boughton, got a text message from what she assumed was her daughter, requesting that she should delete her old phone number because she’s been given a new one. Paula said her daughter then asked her to make a few transactions. She told BBC that she agreed to make the transaction as her daughter sent her the payee’s detail and the account number.” I assumed it was my daughter, and I thought, well, I was able to do that because of the scenario, and I feel like I’ve been made a fool of,” she continued. How sad is that?
