WhatsApp Screen Share Scam

What this page is helping you do

How this usually looks in the real world

• The scammer wants a call, screen share, or remote-help session to fix a refund, delivery, or account issue.
• The victim is told the sharing is only for support while the scammer guides live taps and approvals.
• 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

• Never share your screen for banking, wallet, OTP, or account-recovery tasks with unknown callers or chat contacts.
• If you already shared the screen, change exposed passwords and review recent payment or login activity immediately.
• 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 WhatsApp chat and call history
• Any screen-share or remote-help instructions given during the scam

• Any OTP request, file name, or link sent in the chat
