The instant messaging application "WhatsApp" warned its two billion users of a fraudulent message, calling for its immediate deletion.

According to the website Wabetainfo, which follows WhatsApp news, the scammers delude the victims that they are from the technical support in the application in an attempt to steal their private information.

Scammers use instant communication applications widely to steal users' information or money due to their widespread use.

To further mislead, the scammers use the account picture that includes the "WhatsApp" logo, which appears to be official and authenticated.

But there is an easy way to make sure that the account is real or not, which is a green verification mark located below the account picture and not inside it, and this mark cannot be obtained by fraudsters.

If any message arrives from an account with an authentication mark inside its image, the message coming from it must be deleted immediately.

The scammers seek to know the account's 6-digit passcode to access the account or the user's bank account numbers to avoid blocking the account.

WhatsApp never asks for any users' credit card information or any other information such as a passcode for services on the application, and if anyone wants to get this information, it means that they are trying to deceive you.
