BANGKAPOS.COM – Fraud under the guise of wedding invitations sent via WhatsApp still often occurs in society to this day.
The rise of fraud using wedding invitations began after the Covid-19 pandemic, at which time many prospective couples started using digital wedding invitations to be efficient in distributing invitations.
However, this good thing is actually used by some people as a method of fraud.
It is known that this digital wedding invitation fraud via WhatsApp can drain the victim’s account.
This fraudulent method has been discussed virally on social media and has worried many people.
A number of netizens then began to share the characteristics of this fraudulent method under the guise of digital wedding invitations.
Usually, perpetrators of fraud via WhatsApp do not reveal their identity when sending wedding invitations.
In addition, they include a file insert in APK form with the name Digital Wedding Invitation.
For your information, files with the APK extension are Android application package files which are usually used to distribute and install software.
So, it is this file that is strongly suspected of being able to steal the OTP code used to break into the victim’s account.
So, how do you avoid the dangers of this fraud mode?
One way to prevent fraud under the guise of digital wedding invitations is to pay attention to the files you insert.
Digital wedding invitations are usually sent in website form, not APK files.
So, please be careful if you receive a message containing a digital wedding invitation, but what is sent instead is an APK file, especially since the sender is someone you don’t know and is not included in your cell phone contacts.
