WhatsApp Greeting Link Scam

What this page is helping you do

How this usually looks in the real world

• The link arrives as a greeting, invitation, or casual-looking forward from a known or semi-known contact.
• The page pushes a login, install, quiz, or prize step after the click.
• The sender mixes urgency with a code, file, support number, or payment request.
• The chat tries to keep you inside WhatsApp instead of moving to the official app or website you open yourself.

What to do next in the right sequence

• Do not trust a link just because it came from a familiar chat or looks festive and harmless.
• If the link was opened, note whether it asked for login details, phone verification, or a download.
• Pause the chat and verify the claim from the official app, website, or known contact path.
• Do not forward OTPs, install APK files, or call customer-care numbers found inside suspicious messages.
• Save the chat, number, link, or file name before blocking and reporting the contact.

Evidence that helps the case later

• The original forwarded message and link
• Screenshots of the page that opened after the click
• Full WhatsApp chat screenshot with the number visible
• Any OTP request, file name, or link sent in the chat
