Beware of the messages you send!
- Fake news (the famous Fake News)
Sending fake news through WhatsApp is a problem that the platform has been facing for some time. Spreading this type of message can lead the user to have their account banned from the app permanently. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the origin of the content before sharing it.
- malicious links
Forwarding unknown links can be a great danger, since these links can serve as bait for scams, such as data and money theft. Do not share shortcuts without first checking that they are not of malicious origin. Do a simple search to verify that it is really a valid link with true information.
- Content that infringes the law
Sharing content that violates the law is also prohibited by WhatsApp guidelines. But what are these contents? Examples of this are messages that are defamatory, threatening, harassing, inciting violence, and also material that offends on ethnic or racial issues.
- Massive message blast
Sending messages massively is also a way of violating WhatsApp's terms of use. Thus, currently, frequently shared messages are accompanied by the term “frequently forwarded” as a form of alert.
In addition, some companies have already made use of robots for mass messaging and are currently prohibited from doing this type of thing.
These actions in the messaging app can lead to a ban and even criminal liability, especially when the messages are fake.
- Sending personal data
Sharing private data such as RG and CPF can generate a series of inconveniences for the owner of the information. Thus, amid the various types of WhatsApp scams and account cloning, providing this type of information in the application should be avoided as much as possible.
- Don't fall for scams!
If you use WhatsApp, then now you know which types of messages you shouldn't send. Also pay attention if you receive something like that, so avoid believing false information and falling into scams!
