WhatsApp scams are becoming more common, although they are easy to detect
A girl has hesitated to her scammer asking him to speak in Catalan to find out who he was
In recent years, scams via WhatsApp have become fashionable in the crudest way. People who clearly do not know the language try to scam users by telling them that they are a lost relative, usually very far away, to ask them for financial help to be able to leave. The replies are robotic and silly, which means that from the first message it is known that we are facing a scam.
That is why users take the opportunity to tease the sender with different questions, something that leaves him in evidence and causes a good dose of laughter in the receiver. A user named Neus Llorens has taken hesitation to a new level when he asked the scammer to speak Catalan, if he really was who he said he was.
Sometimes scammers, seeing that the conversation is going in these directions, choose to stop talking. But this one has tried to speak in Catalan! to Neus. As the user wrote Twitter when you shared the message “If you scam me, let it be in Catalan” next to a yellow heart emoticon. The tweet, launched on August 5, already has more than 13,000 likes and more than 1,200 retweets.
