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.
