Indian users witness wave of scam calls from fake US numbers
WhatsApp users in India on Saturday witnessed a new wave of scam where cyber-criminals started calling people on the platform from fake US numbers, pretending to be their senior office executives and colleagues, thus trying to give their modus operandi a new level of authenticity. People working for a leading media company in the Capital, and even those who have quit the organisation, received numerous such fake international calls, this time from US-based fake phone numbers.
