WhatsApp RTO Scam: One Click Cost โ‚น25,000 โ€“ Stay Safe!

๐—ง๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ-๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ โš”๏ธโ€” it can order your pizza/grocery in 30 seconds or wipe out your bank account just as fast.

Got this shady WhatsApp message few days back. Looks like an RTO challan at first glance. Very convincing as I drive car and high chance of parking ticket. The kind of thing that can easily fool someone who’s not familiar with such ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐˜€.

And guess what? Thatโ€™s exactly what happened to my close friend running a business. One innocent tap on the link to check challan, and โ€” โ‚น15,000 vanished from one of his account, โ‚น10,000 from another, all in under 10 minutes โŒš.

Thankfully, the scammer didnโ€™t notice the other account with a few lakhs.!!!

This is the new scam format doing the rounds โ€” an ๐—”๐—ฃ๐—ž ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธ ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ that looks like an official document. But itโ€™s nothing more than a digital trap.
Sharing this here to make sure you’re not the next victim. ๐‘ท๐’๐’†๐’‚๐’”๐’† ๐’…๐’๐’โ€™๐’• ๐’„๐’๐’Š๐’„๐’Œ ๐’๐’ ๐’”๐’–๐’„๐’‰ ๐’๐’Š๐’๐’Œ๐’”. RTO or any government agency wonโ€™t send challans on WhatsApp, and neither will your horoscope.

One can save and block this number to avoid hassles in the future!!!

Hope the ๐’„๐’š๐’ƒ๐’†๐’“๐’”๐’†๐’„๐’–๐’“๐’Š๐’•๐’š ๐’•๐’†๐’‚๐’Ž is already tracking the number behind this. But till then โ€” stay alert, stay updated, and if something looks fishy, donโ€™t take the bait.
