Brilio.net - In this digital era where everything is online, the ease of making transactions has the consequence of increasing fraud. Fraudsters are increasingly sophisticated, using various methods to deceive victims and take over their accounts.
One platform that is often used by fraudsters to trap their victims is the WhatsApp application. Fraud through this application is usually carried out by sending a link to someone else's cellphone number, with the aim of getting the message recipient to click on the link.
Once the link is pressed, something undesirable will happen , such as an application being installed. If the application is installed, fraudsters can access the victim's data or financial accounts. As recently experienced by a TikTok user with the account name @____kiuu.

The funny thing is, the woman actually made a profit from the fraudster after she expressed her frustration. Suddenly, the incident he experienced became a highlight and went viral on TikTok.

The woman shared her experience of almost becoming a victim of fraud in several photo slides. Initially, the woman received a message from someone who wanted to order a pair of trousers that she was selling on her Instagram account. It appears in the upload that the person suspected of being a fraudster asks to continue the purchase process on WhatsApp.
" When I was unemployed, I suddenly transferred money to a fraudster, " wrote the woman in her upload, which briliobeauty.net quoted from the TikTok account @____kiuu, Friday (31/5).
Furthermore, the prospective buyer immediately asked about the availability of the goods he wanted via WhatsApp. However, when they want to make a payment, the prospective buyer immediately makes a transfer via one of the digital platforms that uses electronic money. However, he admitted that he experienced failure in the transfer process.

Then, the prospective buyer gave the woman a link with the intention of her opening it and checking whether the money she transferred had arrived or not. However, the woman realized that the prospective buyer's actions were a form of fraud.
However, the woman still continued to serve potential buyers who were actually fraudsters. He argued that the money sent was insufficient. However, the fraudster tries to focus and persuade the woman to click on the link that has been sent.
Feeling a little annoyed with what she found, the woman immediately sent a sharp message to the fraudster. This woman's action immediately annoyed the fraudster, so the fraudster immediately blocked the woman's number. It didn't stop there, the woman then sent a message to the fraudster via DM on Instagram. He expressed his annoyance because the fraudster had the heart to do this to him.

Instead of arguing or defending himself, the fraudster is actually made to sympathize with what the woman is experiencing. In fact, the fraudster suddenly sent a certain amount of money to the woman.
" Was it? WKWKW even got duidd, " he wrote in one of the slides in his upload.
Apart from that, the fraudster also gave advice to the woman regarding the method of fraud. He also said that this incident reminded him of a victim he had cheated, but the fraudster actually returned the victim's money because he felt sorry for them.
