A warning has been issued to WhatsApp users after the UK reported a 2,000 per cent increase in scam cases, according to experts.
Since the beginning of the pandemic two years ago, the number of scam calls, texts and emails has seen a sharp increase as fraudsters took advantage of people using more technology from home.
The latest scam has seen hackers use the messaging service to steal money from users, with some reporting to have lost almost €2,400.
