WhatsApp scams and text scams can deceive users into giving away personal information and trick them into paying money for fake services or products. According to Robokiller, there were 19.2 billion spam texts sent in January 2024 alone. This equates to nearly 19 spam texts for every person in the U.S.
Understanding the various types of WhatsApp scams — such as getting scam messages from 234 WhatsApp numbers — is essential to protect yourself from these deceptive tactics.
