WhatsApp users report disturbing things: like the website WABetaInfo.com reported, users of the chat app have recently received more and more messages from fake customer service accounts. The operators of the accounts pose as employees of the meta corporation and try to lure their victims into the trap. They use an official-looking profile picture with a green tick. This green tick usually symbolizes that it is a verified account from WhatsApp support – but it is usually not in the profile picture.-
In fact, if you receive a message from an account with a verification tick in its profile picture, your alarm bells should be ringing, as it’s a sure sign of a fake. For actual WhatsApp customer service, you will find the tick behind the phone number, not in the photo. You should immediately report such an account to the Meta Group as suspicious. Aside from the green tick, there are also clues that you can use to quickly and accurately identify attempted fraud.
