The OTP received relevant to your WhatsApp account should not be seen by anyone else except you.

You should be careful not to forward the OTP related to your online accounts or the OTP related to your WhatsApp account to any other party based on information received through the Whatsapp application via a call or SMS.

Once the control of your WhatsApp account is taken over, even by a close relative, they may send short messages to your friends and try to obtain money by deceiving them.

A number of complaints regarding such money scams are still being received by the Criminal Investigation Department.

Since adults and teenagers, who use modern mobile phones without sufficient technological knowledge, can be victims of such scams, measures should be taken to raise their awareness in this regard.
