The public is reminded not to easily fall for fake messages regarding the “Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah” cash assistance that are spreading via WhatsApp.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the messages containing suspicious links could potentially be used by people running fake online investment schemes or scammers to steal access to users’ WhatsApp.
“Be careful with messages like these spreading on WhatsApp. Do not click, these are scammer links.
“If you click, you will lose access to your WhatsApp,” he said in a Facebook post today.
He also advised the public to only refer to official ministry websites for verified information regarding any form of government assistance.
Since yesterday, a message containing a link for the public to check and claim STR assistance has gone viral via WhatsApp.
