Whatsapp is most used social messaging apps. It is used by millions of Indians. In this age of high speed internet connectivity, earlier in the year 2000 we have seen that virus attack mostly aimed at Microsoft operating systems as during that time presence of virus attack mostly aimed at popular operating system such as Windows XP and other related operating system. Now in this age of high speed internet we see and find that virus attacks does not come to operating system, and now comes to individual apps which have become more and more popular.
Now, instead of attacking operating system, more and more apps have become so much popular that instead of attacking viruses to operating system which may be from Windows or from android operating system, which has become more and more security prone and that is why more more hackers reaching to individual apps and contacting customer directly instead of directly attacking operating systems or apps. People receive messages from their facebook or whatsapp accounts and if persons are not aware of it then they can be in the fraud net of hackers and fraudsters. In this blog I have written about multiple cyber attacks and how to save yourself from various cyber attacks. All these articles I wrote in this blog about various cyber attacks which are aimed at me and I detect those and most of these are from my personal experiences, and I have written all of these articles with complete proof. Today, I receive message from whatsapp from an unknown number. This article is related to this incident.
The main aim of writing this article is to make aware of readers about such hacking attempt so that all will be aware of these incidents and be cautious about such malpractices.
Yesterday, I receive a message from an unknown number in my Whatsapp number. The unknown number is 63720 50434. I am deliberately writing this unknown number to let readers to know this , malicious phone number and this article is being written exactly for this. From this number (6372050434) I received this message.
[04:29, 12/08/2024] +91 63720 50434: Hello sir
[04:29, 12/08/2024] +91 63720 50434: Good morning sir
[04:30, 12/08/2024] +91 63720 50434: I’m chief minister of chief secretary Bidhan dabha Bhubaneswar Odisha[04:29, 12/08/2024] +91 63720 50434: Hello sir
[04:29, 12/08/2024] +91 63720 50434: Good morning sir
[04:30, 12/08/2024] +91 63720 50434: I’m chief minister of chief secretary Bidhan dabha Bhubaneswar Odisha
I provided the time and date of message received and readers can read the message from this fraudster.
Then, after some time I received the following message from that number.
[15:28, 13/08/2024] +91 63720 50434: Sir urged 10 thousand help you sir
Then after some time the same number send this following forged document in order to make me believe that he is from a top secretary position of government service. Which is not but the person send a forged document and asked for rs 10000 from me and then another message received as of following.
Ok next day government officer going your hotel sir
First just see his english language which is very bad and then he is asking money to me of Rs 10000 rupees. and then he said that government officer will stay at the hotel in which I was working. So, do not believe in such words from this fraudster. From time to time you will receive such message from fraudster then do not beleive in them and instead let yours near and dear ones know that such fraudsters needs to be identified and people know that such malicious and fraidsters needs to be taken in iron hand. People also should know in depth about such frauds are happending and we should be aware of such fraudsters.
To my utter suprise when I clicked on the profile of this above said number 63720 50434 where he wrote his name as Prime Minister of India.So, just think that in order to create fraudulent practices fraudsters just name as respected Prime Minister of India. So be aware to this above mentioned number which can send you such above fraudulent message and do not fall prey to such actions from these fraudsters.

They call this as prepaid task, or newcomer benefits and ask you to pay 1000 to them after sometime they say that they will provide you 1300 rupees in return. D not fall prey to them as they will take away yours 1000 or other options money and then after some time the said telegram account which will call itself as receptionist will be deleted and yours money will be gone as they provide their account number to send from yours bank account of above amount in order to return back to you 125 percentages but after you send money from yours account to them, and then they will take away yours money and after some time yours money gone and the said telegram account will be deleted for eve r and you will not find any trace of money and all of yours money gone forever. In the beginning when you begin their task of rating the organisations through Google Maps and for first 6 task they will give you 50 rupees each for each rating. They will then send you these 300 rupees to yours bank account and then they will play the game and then the next task is not to rate organisations in Google maps but they will say that you will have to provide money to their account such as Rs 1000 or above and then they will say that they will provide you within some minutes by converting rs 1000 to rs 1300. Do not fall into their trap from here and do not send money for the so called prepaid tasks as they will simply take away yours money and then their telegram account will be depeted forever and yours money gone forever. So, do not fall prey to this type of the part time job scam from fraudulent Whatsapp and telegram combined calls. It could cost you lakhs. In this way you can avoid avoid identity phishing scam from combined whatsapp and Telegram messenger.
