How to save yourself from a WhatsApp KBC scam?

In the past, there have been a number of WhatsApp scams where people have lost money. WhatsApp messages are end-to-end encrypted, so it becomes difficult to identify the scammers.

It is easiest and best to avoid such information-filled, convincing messages that promise you a large sum of money without having to do any activity that involves winning money in order to avoid losing money.

In case you have moved forward, look for red flags to make sure you are not being scammed. Sometimes fraudsters will follow up with you to confirm you are not being scammed.

Scammers may request refundable money, personal information such as your bank account, debit or credit card information, email address, home address, and/or UPI ID. Please refrain from sharing the above-mentioned details with anyone.

Are you a victim of a WhatsApp KBC scam?

A complaint can be filed with the police or cyber cell if you are a victim of a scam and you have been duped of your money. Providing screenshots of conversations, numbers, and addresses (if any) involved, and documents showing evidence like bank statements should be included in your complaint, along with details regarding how you were contacted by the alleged individual or website and how the fraud was perpetrated.

Participation process for the KBC

The official KBC selection process is important to read and understand since fraudsters commonly call people in the name of fake lotteries and lure them into falling victim to KBC fraud. We have included the procedure below for your reference.

• At 8:30 pm every day of the week, KBC host Amitabh Bachhan will ask a question
• The question can be answered via SMS, KBC Mobile App, IVRS, or Sony Liv
• A lucky draw is used to select the winner among the correct answers
• In the Jio Chat App, you can also play along with KBC

Any individual or agency claiming to get you selected in KBC is a fake and a fraud. Do not pay any money to anyone and tell the police immediately of any such call or message.
