Many WhatsApp users fall victim to scams that could cost them money or even compromise their security. This messaging app is a good way of communicating with your friends and family, but it can also be bad for you and others. It is used by more than one billion people worldwide, and it is available in over 180 countries. This broker, H.J., is believed to have asked those interested in travelling to Germany for work reasons to pay from €1,500 up to €9,000 for a work contract.WhatsApp has become the world’s most popular instant messaging app. This isn’t the first time Moroccans have been subject to scammers, as earlier this year, hundreds of Moroccans wanting to reach Germany were reportedly scammed by brokers offering fake work contracts. The latter is not satisfied with a single operation he tells the victim that the payment has failed under the pretext that he mistyped the code, and they repeat the operation a second time, a third time,” CMI’s Director writes in his post on LinkedIn. “However, this is a payment transaction for a reload of the scammer’s mwallet. As the CMI’s Director revealed, a woman in a hurry to get an appointment for her family for medical reasons was victim to such a scam, and her card was run five times, indicating that over €2722 was stolen. These illegalities are coming at a time when people are looking for such appointments, which makes it a perfect situation for people with ill intentions to thrive. Then, the scammer asks for a validation SMS code, which makes the payment transaction validated. These individuals usually pretend to sell appointments for obtaining visas on social media and then ask people to share their bank information in order to finalise the payment with Visa Application Centres.
They offer their services on social networks,” the Director of the CMI informs. Given the appetite of citizens to obtain appointments for Schengen Visa applications from BLS and TLS centres, mercenaries have set up shop and claim to sell nearby appointments. According to a post published by Director Bellali, scammers are offering random people to sell them appointments for Schengen visas and then end up stealing money from their bank account, reports.
