💨 Abstract

WhatsApp has removed over 6.8 million scam accounts, primarily in South East Asia, targeting deceitful schemes that offer too-good-to-be-true deals and steal personal information. Meta is introducing new tools to help users spot fraud, including a safety overview for group messaging and alerts for unsolicited contacts. Common scams involve fake job offers and giveaway links leading to malicious sites.
