Say Indian scammers not whatsapp, Too many scammers in India you dint have to call it whatsapp scam, they can approach victims on email, facebook etc.

The best way to deal with this problem is to delete WhatsApp and switch to better alternatives, otherwise a lot of time will be wasted in blocking and reporting calls every month.

A report published in The Hindu on 02-12-2022 states that data of 360 million WhatsApp users from 108 countries has been sold on the dark web..

The title is misleading. The word "international" needs to be changed for "lndia".

30 days. We've overcome a lot of ups and downs, joy and tears, THE GREAT RECOVERYS, amazing game plans, slapping scammers, a total of $14 million recovered, and here we are - the end of the journey. It was fun while it lasted, but every series has an ending. Hope *DEFENSEPOOL* on the internet reach 10 mil subs soon for your hard work!..
