Scammers are using "WhatsApp Screen Mirroring Fraud," a technique that involves hackers stealing accounts and impersonating WhatsApp users to ask contacts for money.
The scam works like this: cybercriminals call through the instant messaging application pretending to be a contact. When the user answers the phone, they see a black screen. It is then that the person on the other end of the line asks them to share their screen to see what is happening: introducing the Trojan horse into the devices and taking over the account.
