Avoid random people adding you to “investments” group. Usually it’s some beautiful woman inviting you and trying to butter you up.
When an attractive women add and talk to a stranger about investments it’s related to Pig Butchering / Romance scams.
To avoid such practice for WhatsApp user, go to settings > privacy, and make sure you have your privacy settings as:
- last seen and online: my contacts
- profile photo: my contacts
- about: my contacts
- status: my contacts
- groups: my contacts
- calls: silence unknown callers
- fingerprint unlock: I would suggest you try it, if it’s available to you.
This will prevent random scammers from seeing if you’re an active user, and see that you just saw their messages.
Also, unrelated to this: go to settings > security and enable two step verification. People don’t know Whatsapp has 2FA and that you can attach an email address to your account, to help you recover it if you lose it. You should also enable a pin to prevent unauthorized transfers of the account to another phone.
