00:00Added to a strange group, here's how WhatsApp will protect you from scams.

00:05WhatsApp is stepping up its fight against digital scams,

00:08introducing new safety features to protect users.

00:11This comes after the platform successfully took down over 6.8 million accounts

00:15linked to global scam operations.

00:18The new measures are rolling out for both individual and group chats.

00:21For group chats, WhatsApp is adding a safety overview.

00:25This feature will appear when a non-contact adds you to a new group,

00:28providing details like whether the person who added you is in your contacts

00:32and if other members are as well.

00:35The app will also offer safety tips

00:37and automatically mute notifications from the new group until you decide to join.

00:41In individual chats, the company is testing ways to alert you

00:45before you even start talking to a potential scammer,

00:48especially if they are not in your contact list.

00:51This includes showing more context about who you're messaging

00:54to help you identify a threat early on.

00:56WhatsApp recently revealed a key collaboration with OpenIA

01:00that helped disrupt a sophisticated scam center in Cambodia.

01:04These scammers used ChatGPT to generate initial messages,

01:09luring people into everything from fake jobs

01:11to fraudulent cryptocurrency schemes.

01:14They would quickly move victims to WhatsApp and then to Telegram,

01:17building trust with small tasks before demanding a crypto deposit.

01:21Ultimately, staying safe is a shared responsibility.

01:26WhatsApp urges users to always pause and think

01:28before responding to a suspicious message.

01:31Question if the request makes sense,

01:33especially if it involves pressure or a sense of urgency.

01:36If a friend or family member makes an unusual request,

01:40always verify their identity through another communication method

01:43before taking action.
