You'd Be Surprised

You would be shocked to find out how many apps we use on an everyday basis are at the top of the list for scamming.

The website socialcatfish.com released a study on Internet scams from 2021 and used data from the FBI and other agencies.

726 people who were scammed this year were asked where most scams take place.

Where Are The Scammers?

According to those scammed, Facebook had the most victims followed by Google Hangouts, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Plenty Of Fish to name a few.

Top 5 Scammer Apps

Number one would be Facebook:

Apparently, scammers use photos and information on your public profile to re-create a replica account, they warn to search for yourself regularly on this app and immediately report it to the Facebook support center if you find a fraud!

Google Hangouts

They also warn about Google Hangouts and says that romance scammers make victims by gaining your trust and asking for money and personal information. If someone on a dating app wants to switch platforms never send them money unless you’ve met them in person.

Instagram

I’ve been a victim of this on Instagram because of my profession.

Scammers pretend to be a respected brand offering free product giveaways you would sign up and then give their personal information and pay for the products.

I asked a scammer a logical question one day, one they couldn't answer.

So you want me to pay you to model YOUR merchandise?

I am still waiting for their reply.

LOL...

Watch out that’s how they get you!

Dating Apps

WhatsApp and PLENTY OF FISH are the other two apps -scammers reportedly use dating apps with good-looking models as the profile to lure you in.

WhatsApp scammers ask for money, it's really a matter of common sense.

Don't send money to people you've never met.
