Criminals continue to use WhatsApp to target their victims. For several weeks, a type of scam has been circulating, here we tell you all the details.

Fraud starts when a person receives a message from an unknown number. There the criminals offer you work for liking or promoting content on social networks.

If the victim accepts the deal, they can earn between S/10, S/20 and up to S/50 per day. The money they will receive is real so that they trust the supposed company that is hiring them.

Subsequently, the scammers will start asking for an “investment” to “unlock levels”, which will not pay off. Finally, the criminals will disappear and block the person from WhatsApp.
