This threat has already occurred and will only increase in the future. Scammers can forge phone numbers (such as GOIP/VOIP/SIM Swap), emails, and social media accounts (possibly by hacking your mutual followers), and then deceive you by imitating voices and videos (which can be easily achieved with the help of LLM-related tools), etc.

We've recently received numerous reports of this type of scam on WhatsApp, resulting in significant financial losses for victims.

Agree on a safe word beforehand to verify the identity.

From now on, video calls/phone calls will also need to use 2FA. We'll agree on a keyword, or import the same Google key.
