I don't know if this is the right place for this, I need to warn people about a new trick that hackers are using to drain bank accounts and crypto wallet.
someone living next to me lost over 2000$ in his bank account and tokens in his metamask all wiped out..the last thing he did before he started receiving debit alert is opening a PDF sent to his mobile number, that's it.
The same PDF that's been sent to me several times and since the sender hidden their number I can't block them for good, I just knew it feels wrong downloading a PDF file that I wasn't expecting.
Many people have already became a victim, most are not into crypto and they are blaming the banks.
If you are from Nigeria 🇳🇬 be very careful, the hackers form any +234 numbers and send them this PDF file, there are more than 5 people within my area that have received the same PDF, there are too many news about money vanished from bank accounts that's why many people are scared now.
I have deleted this shit over 20 times already but the sender keeps sending it back, if you know how I can block the sender ( hidden number ) please do share. God bless
I was reading a few topics and came across this discussion and I remembered my experience last week.
I am also one of those people who receive messages via a chat and telephone application on my cell phone.
This January I have received 2 consecutive messages from unknown numbers.
First I received a message from an unknown number and it had a phone code +504 which was clearly different from the phone code of my country.
Secondly I got messages on behalf of a local bank from my country, but even I never had savings or an account at that bank.
When the message came in I only saw it from my cellphone notification, not until I opened the message.
I glanced at my phone's notifications, both messages included a link as well.
Even though I immediately deleted it after that, to be honest I'm still worried about hacking the cellphone.
