Fast WhatsApp Route

Pick the exact WhatsApp scam pattern first

Use the matching route instead of reading every page. This improves user pathing from the hub into the strongest guide, checker, and official-report step.

OTP or hacked account

Friend asks for code, login shifts, or WhatsApp opens elsewhere

Do not share OTP or screen. Secure WhatsApp, email, and SIM routes first, then save login alerts and messages.

APK or file installed

Unknown APK, courier file, bill file, or support app came in chat

Disconnect risky sessions, avoid entering OTP or UPI PIN, review permissions, and keep the APK sender trail as proof.

Fake support or screen share

Caller says bank, app, courier, police, or support desk

Cut screen share, open official apps yourself, and do not follow call-led payment, refund, KYC, or remote access steps.

Money, job, parcel, or KYC

Message asks for fee, release charge, package, KYC, parcel, or task recharge

Map who receives money, save chat/payment proof, and move to bank, 1930, cybercrime.gov.in, or platform support as needed.

Evidence Pack

Save this before deleting the WhatsApp chat

  • Sender number, profile name, group invite, admin handle, and message timestamps.
  • Links, APK filename, payment QR, UPI ID, bank account, courier number, or support number shown in the chat.
  • OTP request, screen-share prompt, app permission screen, changed recovery details, or login alerts.
  • Debit alert, UTR/reference, complaint acknowledgement, bank ticket, 1930 ID, or platform support ticket.
Official route first

Use ScamScan as a guide, not as the official authority

If money moved or an account is active-risk, contact the bank, wallet, telecom provider, platform support, 1930, cybercrime.gov.in, police, or local cyber cell first. ScamScan helps organize the case and choose the right next page.

FAQ

WhatsApp scam questions before you act

What should I do first after receiving a suspicious WhatsApp APK?

Do not install it. If already installed, stop entering OTP or UPI PIN, review app permissions, disconnect risky sessions, and use official bank/platform routes before continuing the chat.

Can WhatsApp OTP be used to steal my account?

Yes. OTP can re-register WhatsApp on another device or help a scammer take over recovery steps. Never share OTP, even if the message appears to come from a friend.

Should I trust a WhatsApp support number from Google or a forwarded message?

No. Use the official app, card, invoice, or website route opened by you. Fake support numbers often push screen sharing, refunds, KYC, or payment verification.

Where should a money-loss WhatsApp case go?

Contact the bank or wallet provider quickly, keep proof, use 1930 or cybercrime.gov.in for official complaint flow, and track every acknowledgement in one timeline.
