A wave of new social engineering scams has been reported across multiple platforms, including WhatsApp, SMS, email, and direct messages on social media. These scams often impersonate legitimate sources such as delivery services, news outlets like Cointelegraph, and cryptocurrency-related accounts like Altcoin Daily and CoinMarketCap. The scams include phishing attempts through fake messages claiming to involve package deliveries or requesting fund transfers, with some messages originating from the United States. Authorities and cybersecurity experts have issued warnings advising users not to respond to suspicious messages, avoid clicking on unknown links, and disable certain WhatsApp features to enhance security. Meta Platforms, the owner of WhatsApp, has not officially contacted users via direct messages, and users are urged to verify any such communications before taking action. The scams are widespread in France and other countries, with warnings also issued in Spanish-speaking regions about WhatsApp account theft through impersonation of friends or family members. The ongoing scams highlight the importance of vigilance in digital communications to prevent data and financial losses.
