Scammers in Viber deceive users – details of the scheme | News of the Dnieper

Viber scammers have come up with a new scheme to deceive users. Dnipro residents who use this messenger should be more careful. This is reported by “Dnepr Operational” with a link to Viber support.

The company told the details of the fraudulent scheme and how attackers can steal your account.

How the Viber scam scheme works

To activate a new device in Viber, the user can request an incoming call. The last four digits of the phone number from this incoming call is the Viber activation code. In turn, the scammers fraudulently ask users to share the phone number of this incoming call. As soon as users provide a number, their accounts are activated by attackers.

How to protect yourself from scammers on Viber

Viber reminds you that it is important to be more careful and careful in the digital environment, including not sharing Viber activation codes from messages or calls to third parties. You should also help your loved ones if something suspicious happens to their messenger.

Recall, earlier we reported that in the Dnieper a man tried to shoot the guest from a gun.
